It’d be cool if we didn’t

I recently read the Samson Option. Pretty wild how the world just let Israel develop the bomb.

Name a more fascist iconic duo.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Fascism is just settler-colonialism applied internally, so it's no surprise when settler states collaborate.

Stalin and Hitler could be candidates for that

[-] sovietsnake@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Hitler was inspired by the US treatments of aborigenes and later they hired the Nazis in Operation Paperclip. Definitely the US and its lackey Nazisrael are way better candidates.

Placing Russian communism

Where's your "Russian communism" now? Stalinism is dead, irrelevant current stillborn from the rotting corpse of the third international and and Russia doesn't pretend to be communist anymore in case you haven't noticed. Don't let that get in the way of your LARP though.

and Nazi-fascism on the same moral plane to the extent that both would be totalitarian

Who said anything about "morals" or "totalitarianism"? I certainly didn't. The Stalinist errors and its distortions of Marxism are graver than moralist whinging about totalitarian states.

at best is superficiality, at worst it is pacifism. Whoever insists on that comparison can be considered a democrat, but in truth and deep down in his heart he is already a fascist, and of course he will only fight fascism in an apparent and hypocritical way while he leaves all his hatred for communism

Stalinists and their million derivatives, who applaud fully developed capitalist regimes, are more democrat than democrats are. What they really desire is not communism but an idealistic state-form of capitalism - a petty bourgeois shopkeeper's fantasy world where Capital has finally been "tamed". They don't understand capitalism or fascism in the least and the ones who stumble into power only ever end up playing into the hands of global Capital and against the international working class.

Read Marx and stop being a tankie, you meatball.

This is revisionist

You're parroting words you heard from meatball brains on lemmygrad or other left cesspit. You don't actually know what revisionism is.

[-] m532@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I indeed do not know what revisionism is. But I know who knows. Ultras.

[-] CompassInspector@invariant-marxism.red -2 points 1 year ago

You have one thing right. I know what tankies think it means and I know what it actually means.

What it actually means: The "modernization" of Marxism, the "updating" of the original invariant communist program of the working class from Marx to Lenin.

What tankies, the modernizers, think it means: going against "Marxism-Leninism", the Soviet State capitalist ideology created by Stalin that has nothing to do with either Marx nor Lenin.

I'm honestly giving people here to much credit by calling them Stalinists. In reality the Stalinists are gone and there's nothing left of them but goofballs, mostly teenagers, aping their phraseology and aesthetic.

Lol, you took the time to transcribe it and translate and you are analyzing a decade years old quote as if it were relevant 100% today, you are not a clown, you are the entire fucking circus.

Lol image to text AI is a thing nowadays you donut. It takes about 5 seconds. And why did you post something that's outdated and irrelevant in the first place? I guess if you knew the answer to that question you wouldn't be a Stalinoid loser with a fucking Che avatar.
