I’m astonished at how sensitive the mods must be over there.

Apparently you’re allowed to say whatever baseless slander you like about the eeeeevil tankies but the minute someone says “Hold up a sec, you claim to be anti-authoritarian and yet you support authoritarianism either explicitly or implicitly?” and they have to shut it down immediately.

Regardless, I think I made a pretty solid counterargument to the typical complaint about communism being authoritarian.

Mfers skim read the Wikipedia entry on Hannah Arendt and start thinking they’re justified in slinging accusations about “muh authoritarianism” smh.

      It’s funny isn’t it, now that we know how it all turned out. Tragic af. I doubt it could’ve been avoided even if the Nazis knew that communist organisation is/was superior. As we’re seeing again today, the yanks are oblivious to the power of using dialectical materialism to organise over a billion people.

        If they did, they wouldn’t be Nazis. There’s a good reason the likes of Krupp supported Hitler and NSDAP, and it wasn’t just their shared hatred of minorities
