Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Me when I’m an anarchist who cares about state gold reserves.

I don't care much for gold... but it seems to be one of the few things you tankies actually do care about.

But hey, tankie... good news! Now at least we know that there are at least two reasons tankies would actually bother to fight fascists at all, eh?

Anyway, it was payment for the

That is all the third largest gold reserve in the world at the time paid for? Just that measly amount of "aid?"

The Soviet Union got 7,411 aircraft from the western allies during WW2 - was Tankie Nr.3 forced to ship all his gold reserves to Washington DC, perhaps?

You were the only person to bring up gold…

Did I, tankie?

Seems your glorious Tankie Nr.3 brought it up quite a few years ago...

"According to Orlov, Joseph Stalin celebrated the arrival of the gold with a banquet attended by members of the politburo, in which he was famously quoted as saying, "The Spaniards will never see their gold again, just as they don't see their ears," an expression based on a Russian proverb."

… most of what Orlov said, even under oath, or during his debriefing by the US intelligence officials, or in private discussions with his friend Gazur, has by now been established as outright invention.[7]

Lol! Quite the duplicitous lot, aren't you?

Is there anything you and your ilk say that can be trusted in any way whatsoever?

But again, you seem to be the only person that actually cares about this gold.

Only because this thread is flooded with tankies that don't.

the USSR to have not aided the Republic,

It would have been absolutely grand if the USSR actually aided Spain in it's fight against fascism. But it seems you don't actually understand the difference between aiding someone and extorting them.
