I mean... They all just proved your point. Can't trust those folks going crazy over historical facts

Nobody shit on them for being an anarchist, they shit on them for being a lib.

Signed an anarchist that gets by just fine with the hexbear crowd.

Also we don't have downvotes enabled on our end so if we see something wrong or bad like OP we have to actually call it out not just drive by downvote.

We have an entirely different site culture from reddit and most of lemmy and that can be jarring but it doesn't indicate bad faith or ignorance, in fact it is much the opposite.

Also correcting reactionary historical revisionism isn't "going crazy over historical facts" it's trying to have a productive discussion.

I'm sorry but how have you possibly come to the conclusion that stalin executed spanish anarchists is "historical fact"????

And Mao did literally nothing to anarchists. In fact they were allied. The fascists destroyed the KPAM through assassinating their leadership. Mao's entire structure was heavily influenced by anarchist organising in part through organisational necessity and in part because he disagreed with european MLs that the rural peasantry couldn't be the leading force in revolution, the implementation of the mass line too was heavily influenced by anarchist theory.

Historical "facts" like Stalin summarily executing Spanish anarchists and Mao doing likewise with anarchist intellectuals
