    its the defense of atrocities by monstrous governments.

    I think we're all down with communism, even if it's not our absolute top fav. I think we're all for painting over doctrinal differences and shrugging when others don't do things perfectly, because at least they're doing something.

    but when someone starts saying the oligarchic authoritarian PRC is good because they've got some red on their flag and you're a mao fanboy, I just fucking can't.

    stalin I can get behind; dude was seriously fucked, and I wouldn't want to be in a room with him, but damn did he set an example for how to treat nazis. the USSR in general was a mixed bag that ended in a clusterfuck of corruption, but A+ on effort, ideals, and making the right enemies.

    and if you call me an anarkiddie after sex (EVERY kind of left unity.), im going to call you a kiddie fucker. fair's fair.

      China is good and it has nothing to do with the color of their flag.

        I agree, some of the best recycling in the world, despite their fascist past.

      Ya, I know it is. I'm not blaming you, you have your world view and there's nothing really wrong with that. Who knows, maybe you're right.

      I'm just saying that calling for left unity without acknowledging why there is a rift doesn't really make any sense. It's like announcing to the world you should get married without considering that your partner thinks you're a loser.

        this is an acknowledgement of that. "if you call me an anarkiddie after sex, im going to call you a kiddie fucker"

        and the whole "maoists are cool therefore modern oligarchs in that part of the world have my uncritical support" thing. this is a rift. I can't get over that shit.
