And shitty communists go around purging other communists in kangaroo courts and show trials.

Shitty communists impose cults of personality and destroy workers democracy.

Shitty communists also refuse to learn from a century of shitty communism and still cling to old categories as if they have any meaning today. I mean you can stan Robespierre all you like but in the end of the day, the 1871 Commune was never going to be run by 1789 Jacobins much less fucking bonapartists.

My meme is an expression of my own experience that a bit too often when Israeli apartheid and genocide come up on lemmy, invariably some German user pops up and starts shifting the discourse to victim blaming the Palestinians. That's not "all Germans bad", just like when we criticize American users for making every single topic be about Democrats and Republicans, we are not saying "all Americans bad". I complain about a tendency, not condemning an ethnic group.

If condemnation of apartheid and genocide is divisive, then maybe that's a useful division to bring to the foreground. I don't understand what it is that you see as the problem here. Can you explain?
