where does anyone say “our imperialism is the good kind?”
What’s the purpose of that Soviet flag?
to indicate those under that flag have been saying “always have been” - it’s the meme.
It’s rich to use it when it is that Russia is actively conquering and annexing territories of sovereign states.
tip: two things can be true at once and calling one out (the usa) does not mean you support the other. grow up.
It’s lying at worst, misleading at best.
Also who are these anarchists cleansing dissidents?
The Red Terror during the Spanish Civil War comes to mind.
No ideology is without its fanatics.
Thanks, I’ll read up on it.
But from what I’ve read so far, the violence wasn’t exclusively from anarchist groups and more of mass violence from all leftist groups during that time towards clerics and rightists?
The violence wasn’t exclusively from anarchist groups, but in anarchist-dominated areas, the anarchists committed the same kinds of violence that other leftists did.
This isn’t to say that the anarchists were not the best of the lot, by far. Only that the notion that anarchists don’t engage in unjustified mass violence against political enemies because of the sheer purity of their convictions doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.
I gotcha. I believe it. Have any book recs on the topic? Think this’ll probably be the my next lil history read after I’m done 100 Years War on Palestine
edit: topic being spanish civil war period
Most of this is recollected from college. I can definitely recommend Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia for a ground-eye view of the Spanish Civil War in general, though.
Cool cool, yeah i was reading on the wikipedia that he fought in the war. Will probably pick that up next. Thanks!
