    Orwell was a well known anti communist, so yeah, pretty lib take to defend him. Seems called for to me. I bet you didn't get banned for having one lib take though

      Sounds like you have the right black and white thinking for hexbear. How is criticizing Stalin for working with the libs a thing that makes you a lib? Sure, he was anti communist, or rather anti stalinist and I guess anti bolshevik, and there is a lot to criticize from a left perspective, I'm not going to defend his homophobia and antisemitism but he was not a liberal. There are more than 2 political camps. How can you totally ignore my last comment?

        By your own admission he was a bigoted homophobe, but he's still not a lib? What is he then?

            So he was a right wing / conservative anarchist? Also known as a libertarian?

            I guess it could be argued that libertarians aren't necessarily neoliberals in the modern context, so okay, I'd be willing to admit he might not be a lib. However libertarians are even worse, so that's even more funny that you're defending him.

              He was not. That's why the left/right distinction is too one dimensional. He was a conservative anarchist (socialist) if anything but if you listen to the podcast you will see why not even that. Conservative anarchism seaks non hierarchical structures and communities in history and present and tries to use them as an example. Like Kropotkin did in "mutual aid" and Graeber in alot of his work.

              I'm not sure if you are trying to understand me and this is really hard for you or you are just trying to prove me wrong. If you are really not understanding what I'm saying or not even trying. If you want to engage further, take the hour and listen to the podcast. It's not my job to educate you in these basic concepts. I did alot already.

                Conservatives anarchists want me and my comrades dead, so yes, I'm not super interested in hearing you out on this. Conservatism is at direct odds with literally me being alive. I'm seeing now why Hexbear banned you for sure. You literally want us dead of course you got banned

                  A thought terminating cliches from a tankie, how very unexpected. And how foolish of me to even give you the benefit of a doubt, I should know better by now, I'm long enough on the internet. You never heard of conservative anarchism before, don't even try to understand the concept and what "conservative" in this context means, yet you think they want you dead. And after so many anarchists where killed by former comrades who talked about left unity until they were in power, I really should have known better.
