    I could take sterilized roaches. Their power in that their population grows like hell. But 1000 you can kill off and that’s settled? Okay, deal. Guess, the first hunt would take a half of them for good.

    A person? You obviously can’t kill them in most jurisdictions unless you are a LEO. But I’d look forward to reach out and cooperate with them in some way. Idk them and maybe they have cool things to talk about or learn from them. Imagine them blasting an ukulele and being open to teach you. Or just being a good friend material.

    I’d probably take both and do bonding with a cellar person over killing bugs.

    I had family members die in GuLag for no reason. Some of my grand-gramps (supposedly) killed a fucker from the Poverty Comitee who weren’t any better than wagnerites today. I mean, two can play this game at the same time, to guess who had it worse.

    Why red faschism is that bad of a name? It’s a veey different stray of ideas but it ultimately leads to the same level of poppulist and corrupt authoritarianism if left unchecked. Because it leaves any principles behind if they are inconvinient. What USSR shown, and what Pol Pot with his junta put onto display.

    Almost the only big modern experiments in socialism happened in Makho’s free state and Catalonia. Both were treacherously put down by soviets, with lies in Pravda suggesting the latter weren’t really socialists to begin with. That, coming from a stalinist state in the late 1930s.

    I lose any sense of a practical difference when I dig into their story. Yeah, no (vocal) praise for racial identity, unless we don’t feel you jews or you tatars are complicit enough. No (vocal) praise for an idea of a superhuman, unless you take ‘soviet men’ identity replacing your own too seriously or ask about what happened to disabled people after the war, like in Valaam. No (vocal) definition of what genetically-determined classes are, but there’s Gulag, inescapable serfdom in kolkhoz, exclusive shops for internal party apparatus, that is, surprisingly, filled with russians even in republics.

    I was trying hard not to argue. I failed.

    And no, Hitler wasn’t happy about this monicker. Idk if any public speech of his after coming to power even had this word. He hated everything -socialist and probably wanted to distance himself from it.



  • Faschism is self-eating in it’s nature, but it is still a tool of those who hope they’d die before it fails. We haven’t got rid of it. It is practiced as we speak.

    Communism had little chances to be proven wrong or right. In the end, communist rhetoric is one thing, communist praxis is another. And the latter was rarely even practiced, although proclaimed like it was. I believe it gets some points right and needs to be experimented with.
