Do you think db0 will finally listen to us now that their lib alliance is not working out so well?

[–] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 22 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, historically speaking, liberals always start listening to the communists when the crackdowns start. And everyone lived happily ever after.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 18 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Nominally the db0 admins are anarchists, which is why I even entertained the idea. If they were avowed liberals, probably not.

That said, not among politicians but among normal people, there totally were liberals who at least became much more appreciative of communists once fascists started widening the scope of their killing, because the communists have consistently been their most militant opposition and that matters to some people even if they wrote off Marx, etc.

For example, Carl von Ossietzky, who supported Thälmann in 1932 Reichspräsident election, because he considered both Hitler and Hindenburg fascists.

If they can put two and two together about the ways they're being lied about and the ways we're lied about. I'm kind of optimistic: I think if we channel our inner Sankara, and act with patience and diplomacy, maybe the red and black can uniteleft-unity-3

We literally never had a lib alliance. I was butting heads with libs since day 1.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 9 points 4 weeks ago

With respect, you were at the very least doing that thing where libs and [however you'd like to self-describe] attack the same targets along mostly the same lines, which incidentally involved red-bashing. I witnessed and once or twice participated in many of those arguments on another account.

I have no interest in trying to shame you or something ridiculous like that if you've decided a tentative red-black alliance is a good thing, though. I'd much rather we all try to be constructive about things, and I didn't read all the details in the post because I just can't stand the same old ignorant concern-trolling from liberals that you were dealing with (credit to you for pushing back against it), but from the parts I did see, I think you were being pretty reasonable.

I can't really speak on behalf of the community and in fact think the majority of people who have an opinion on me at all dislike me, which is their prerogative, but I hope that our communities (or our community and your admins) can improve relations a bit in light of these neoliberal pricks attacking you in this way.
