Apparently I’m now a shitlib for not buying into this disgusting tankie propaganda that it was all the Wests fault and Stalin had to ally with Hitler.
For a mod who loves to ban others for bad jacketing, they sure have no problem doing it to other anarchists.
The Ban:
The Context:
I love how all tankie defense boils down to “dO yOuR OwN ReSeArCh”
Where “your own research” means “Cowbee’s research.”
What is cowbee? Google isn’t helping
A blatherer whose every response seems to involve trying to get someone to read a book that i’m starting to suspect they wrote, or are actually a fourteen year old who read their first thing that Spoke to them.
Cowbee did not write Blackshirts and Reds. Lol
Wish it was only tankies. But with them, there’s the additional implication that all aspects of Soviet history should be public knowledge, and if you do not know these things that alone makes you a … reactionary? capitalist bootlicker? Something like that.
My experience with these people is that they are extremely selectively informed about Soviet history. So ironically, they are actually quite ignorant on the topic, but they expect only their very specific cherry-picked facts and interpretations to be well understood by everyone, but none of the context or intervening events that might paint the USSR as anything other than the most benevolent organization in all of history.
