    Then do some thinking. You’re clearly not processing what’s being said. A whole bunch of different people with different beliefs that believed in No Kings all literally sat on the Left side of the room. A whole bunch of people who believed in kings and tradition sat on the Right side of the room. Literally. Physically sat there on different sides of the room. How complicated is that?






  • This is just for Stalin and what I could quickly pull off the internet

    in Moscow area:

    Kuntsevo Dacha (“Near Dacha”) Uspenskoye Dacha (Far Dacha, old) Semyonovskoye Dacha (Far Dacha, new) Zubalovo dacha, the first one; not preserved[1] Lipki dacha; not preserved[1] Elsewhere in Russia:

    Far right stuff like the defeat of Nazism

    More like collaborated with the Nazis and then defended themselves when Germany invaded. But to be more blunt, tons of Right Wing people, nations, and leaders contributed to the defeat of Nazism. Political ideology played little role for most compared to National affiliation. Numerous right wing partisan groups fought the Nazis AND leftists.

    Far right stuff like universal right to housing and to work

    Serfs always had a right to housing and work and no one would argue that serfdom is Left Wing.

    Far right stuff like supporting anti-imperialist liberation movements

    Far right stuff like being an Empire

    But lets dispense with the tit for tat. The Bolsheviks were far right because they believe that power should rest in the hands of the political elite and not the people. Workers were denied self-determination, denied political power, denied control over the means of production, and faced violence for not complying with the Ruling Class; all hallmarks of the Far Right.



  • I don’t know how to tell you this so I’ll just rip the bandaid off: the same amendment that outlawed slavery in the US opened up a pathway for legal slavery if the enslaved person was convicted of a crime. This led to uneven enforcement of the laws targeting black people to fill the prisons with cheap labor. Additional laws were passed denying those convicted of felonies that right to vote which helped keep black people from alleviating their bondage at the ballot box. And that’s all setting aside that most newly freed people spent generations living in absolute poverty as sharecroppers and any black communities that actually managed to do well for themselves were targeted by whites like in the Tulsa race massacre or simply had their communities bulldozed during the construction of the interstates in the 50s and 60s. Did black people trade one master for another? The Black Panthers might agree.

    Back to the analogy, both former slaves and former slave owners from Tibet cry about their plight but the plight former slaves cry about is the conquest and domination of their country by China and the use of the education system and large scale settlement of Han Chinese to destroy Tibetan language and culture while making them second class citizens in the land of their ancestors. I’ll oppose that like I oppose all Imperialism.
