Always noteworthy that western countries (the US especially) never had the equivalent of a "red-scare", but for nazis and other stripes of fascists. Instead they hired them to help in the colonial project as cops, feds, prison guards, and intelligence assets.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Please report any brigading genocidal liberals so we can get to them asap.
Ah yes, equating a working class movement that uplifted hundreds of millions from poverty and killed 85% of the Nazis in World War II with a genocidal bourgeois reaction that murdered tens of millions out of racial, sexual, ableist, and political supremacy. Gotta love historical nihilism and horseshoe theory.
Read Blackshirts and Reds. Quit it with the Holocaust minimization.
Yeppers, just continuing the US empires desired narratives, why don't you think for yourself?
Lemmy.ml has a lot of communists, the main devs of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists. That being said, anti-communism's ties to fascism are historically documented and accepted even by liberal historians. I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds.
For what it's worth, your instance already blocks most of the communist content on Lemmy for you, it comes pre-censored for you. This is just the stuff that slips through the cracks.
And I'm here just for memes... Maybe another meme group without so much political content would be better suited for me. 🤷🏻♂️
Lemmy.ml has a non-political meme comm as well. This comm allows political content.
Fascism and anti-communism, as I said, are historically linked, beyond just Nazis hating communists. I again recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds. Wherever there has been a strong anti-communist movement, it has been tied to fascism in some way.
When the anti-communist crowd start to repeat nazi propaganda is kinda difficult to tell the difference between them.
While the name of the community is not explicitly communist, the instance it's on absolutely is. Lemmy.ml is a communist instance.
