I'm more of a lurker here, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the spectrum of responses. At least personally, I'm copping to the ML bent here (same username) and telling people this community still has redeeming value, and I have people maligning me and telling me to log off? Wha-?
Are these people just suffering from lib brain, or am I missing something?

Read Vision on Fire (PDF) , then come back and tell me about your anarcho-Stalinism. My ancestors built communism on this Earth, only to watch it burn at Stalin's hand.

No, pointing back to Catalonia wouldn't be an argument. Luckily Emma Goldman provided hundreds of pages of arguments too, instead of just writing the word Catalonia over and over again. Neat trick!
I get that reading books sucks, but anyone who calls themselves an anarcho-tankie clearly has some studying to do. Or, if you don't care about this stuff, then don't bring up Stalin. But if you say that everything Stalin did was necessary, anarchists are going to bring up Catalonia... and they'll be right to do so.
I think people here should always be open to reading more, and the person you're replying to shouldn't have been so dismissive. But I feel this place is better than it was a few months ago, when there are a lot more "anarchists dumb" posts and I've seen quite a few thread/comments criticizing China which is also a new development. The admins/mods are trying to make this a better place.
Nah, it got a lot worse.
