i just woke up, and this is a little test - i just got banned from !slop@hexbear.net, and i'm NOT even sure if this is the right community to post this on. does anyone know?

that said, first off, i would like to sincerely apologize for calling the genocide over in gaza a "feud". i called it a feud because the countries of israel and palestine have been a war, but i realize now that me calling it a "feud" is sort of an understatement and is a bit insensitive. oh and i WASN'T pulling the ol 'both sides are bad' card - i strongly support palestine in this war in gaza.

secondly, i sincerely promise to act in good faith and learn a bit more when it comes to socialism/communism. i sincerely hope you forgive me.

if anyone has any resources to watch without losing focus, i'd appreciate it. thank you!

edit: i just edited the slop link. seriously!

i called it a feud because of huge tensions between israel and palestine, but i realize that that was an understatement that's a bit insensitive.

that said, do you think hexbear is run by tankies who DIDN'T realize that you DON'T have to support stalin to support marxism-leninism?

As Weng Weiguang says, The Evaluation of Stalin is Essentially an Ideological Struggle. Marxist-Leninists don't idolize Stalin. At the same time, Stalin synthesized Marxism-Leninism, and oversaw the world's first socialist state during its most turbulent period. The CPC rates him as 70% good, 30% bad, and this rating is roughly orbited by most communist orgs. Those who denounce Stalin entirely, also denounce the USSR, and existing socialism.

Stalin has been dead for over 70 years, and “tankie” is nothing but a terminally-online pejorative for anyone left of Sanders. Maybe spend less time worrying about people’s takes on Stalin. He was neither Jesus nor was he Lucifer, despite what a century of anticommunist propaganda has said about him.

I don't really concern myself with who runs things. I just treat the federation like the real world. If I like places I frequent them, if I don't dislike places they will be in my rotation, if I don't like them then I don't hang at them.

So you'll frequent a Nazi owned bar as long as it plays music you like?
