Completly agree. Also, this is a topic that needs years of research and diplomacy as it is inherently tainted by propaganda (from all sides). It is pointless (and petty) to act as if there is a way of telling right from wrong at this stage. People need to cool their jets befor crying and accusing others of malicious intent. Personally, I am as left as it gets and that is why I like lemmy/lemmygrad. It is just refreshing to see this in the current internet!
I must admit I don't know the author to well, but usually when people claim this anti-authoritarian is as bad as this authoritarian in regards of ziq (the author), people refer to his anticiv position. Anticiv get usually misrepresented and miss understood. I can understand why, but that doesn't make them as bad as the "tankie".
If you need a read on anticiv theory, you might enjoy reading something from Abdullah Öcalan leader of the PKK, which has Marxist-Leninist tradition.
I did already, not my favorite author but I haven't read anything that is comparable bad with ML
I am aware of that. The author admitted their wrong doing, and because of his behavior stepped down as moderator, at least temporarily. I don't know about the current status. To those he caused the most harm by his behavior, they made piece with it and remain in friendship afaik. If you need the backround story to all that, I can dick it out for you.
some primies are like that. I did read threads how ziq makes fun of their nonsense.
You mean like Lenin? It's not "some", it's the majority, and it's their leaders.
And then most tankies when I call them tankies:
Please call us something-Lenin. ....but sure, Lenin isn't among their masters. I don't buy into this.
