Please help me understand Hexbear.
Removed by modSo, since coming here, I've been accosted left and right by ML's calling me a Lib for not being a ML. Essentially that's what it's come down to.
My personal philosophy aligns with Bakunin, Kropotkin, and Bookchin. I consider myself an Anarcho-Communist or Communalist, depending on the situation, I suppose.
I firmly oppose fascism and authoritarianism. I believe in direct democracy and the inherent goodness of humanity.
I really thought that I had found a place where leftist thought was going to be welcomed, but so far I have not found it here. All I've found are hateful people who want me to leave.
Like I said elsewhere, it's almost as if they don't want new people to join their cause. Like they're actively pushing people away who could have the potential to learn, and who have explicitly come here to learn and to engage in good faith.
I just don't get it. I feel like our cause will never come to fruition because of these types of attitudes.
Volin smeared Makhno as a rapist with no evidence
If he did that to another user here, yes he would probably be banned
See I didn't even know who Volin was.
He's one of the main theorists behind synthesis anarchism, the debate between synthesis and the platform is an interesting issue in anarchism imo
Which is one of the reasons I'm here. I want to talk about this stuff.
Well yes, of course. That's a personal dispute.
But would he have been banned for calling Bolsheviks "red fash"?
Idk have you been banned for saying it? Your probably not going to get banned for simply using 'red fascist' unless it's a repeated personal attack, but you shouldn't get upset when people here out how stupid it is to apply this is label to country and its ideology which suffered 80% of casualties in the world war against fascism, etc
And your reaction to these criticisms shouldn't be to go on the defensive and assume sectarianism, but to challenge your beliefs and integrate the criticism if it is in good faith and applicable
Thanks. I'll take that into consideration.
