      I don’t think you need to provide sources or preemptively defend wikipedia.

      In my experience the kind of communists who want to shoot all the anarchists have a detailed knowledge of the history of shooting anarchists and talk openly about the fact that they’ll shoot all the anarchists.

      Also anarchists tend to be pretty aware of what happens when you oppose state power.

        Wish I had the same experience on Lemmy. Honesty is not in great supply for the tankies here, who prefer to pretend that ‘United Front’ means something to “AES” states (emphasis on the quotes) other than “Oh boy, I can’t wait to backstab everyone to my left”

          Your problem is engaging with these people.

          I’ve had a mostly positive experience on here, but I don’t try to go hang out in tankieville.

            I mean, I don’t go to hang out in tankieville. I have lemmy.ml domain blocked. I don’t go looking for them. I only pick fights with them to emphasize that their fascist shite is unacceptable and blatantly false. It’s insane the level of lies they’re willing to resort to.

            They’re a lot more rare in the places I frequent anymore. A year ago they still infested the place - including this very community.

          Ah yeah, I don’t think anyone is having a serious political discussion on the internet, it’s all just dunking and trolling. IRL I’ve heard many people be completely upfront about it when talking to other leftists.

        Yes, and the one time my mom caught me sneaking out at 1am when I was 16 was totally the only time I ever snuck out.

        She still believes that one, too.

        You’re confusing Communists with communists. They’re very different. Anarchists tend to be communist. Therefore if communists were shooting anarchists they’d be shooting themselves. Anarchists want a classless stateless society based on Mutual Aid. Which is exactly what actual communist want. Communists on the other hand are a heavily class based society. With an overarching crushing state that commands everything. Destroying and slaughtering any dissent against the Vanguard party and it’s oppression of the proletariat.

        Communists are in no way communist. They are a completely different ideology. Often referred to as ml or Marxist leninist. And Lemmy is rife with them. They would get away imprison or Slaughter any communist or anarchist who spoke out against them or their perceived Revolution
