I'm not trying to foster left unity with you, because frankly to consider you an anarchist would be such rank anti-anarchist sectarianism that Hexbear mods would be correct to permaban me. You're a liberal.

Btw, I think that accusing anarcho-communists of having an ideology that inevitably leads to ecocide is pretty sectarian also (or again, maybe not sectarian. It's not sectarian for a liberal [you] to be anti-anarchist, just shitty), and you haven't engaged with this point but you're posting ziq's articles and this is one of their states positions so that's something you need to deal with for yourself.

You called Marxism a religion before my comment, which was about your initial ad hominem comparison to religion, and frankly suggesting that the ideologies that you are opposed to are the ones the US government wants you to oppose is an objective fact.

In constantly calling all your interlocutors cultists, you're making it pretty hard to see anyone else as the bad faith adhom abusers here

You don't think perhaps it was the word "utopian," a word which in the discussion of various different socialist tendencies generally refers to the Utopian Socialists, a group that Marx vocally criticized?

This person's works also include Burn the Bread Book, an anti-Anarcho-Communist screed in which they advocate for the end of civilization, and return to each person producing all their own food, an idea that is openly ecofascist and would kill billions, first and foremost a large number of disabled and chronically ill people.

I think you should carefully consider where your ideas are coming from.

It's mostly just liberals and fascists and their natural hatred for socialists.

I will say that the anti-Ukraine thing is kind of real. Nobody here thinks Russia is secretly communist or anything, but Ukraine was overthrown in 2014 by a neo-nazi aligned, US backed coup. They then spent the better part of a decade persecuting ethnic minorities in Eastern Ukraine, which overwhelmingly supported the overthrown government. The stuff they were doing would have gotten a non-US aligned government branded as cultural genocidaire, but they kept escalating and eventually were firing artillery at civilian centers regularly and sending neo-nazi death squads into the East to harass and murder civilians.

Nobody here wants the war there to keep going and causing all this suffering, but the idea that this is a black and white conflict and Russia invaded for no reason at all, or because he just wants to expand Russia, is not common here.

This honestly bothers me so much, Tankie Troika is right there. It's a slam dunk.

The USSR was also destroyed by encirclement and (nearly 100 years) of pressure from reactionaries.

But again, you and and the people on the comm you named after yourself are the ones hypocritically positing that any socialist project that fails is evidence that that project's ideology inevitably leads to capitalist takeover. None of the "tankies" on Hexbear are saying that because it's asinine, but if you actually believe it, to be ideologically consistent, would require condemning anarchism also.

red fash

Deeply unserious

just a form of ideologically flavored ad hominem?

Ridiculous statement for someone who incessantly calls the most predominant socialist tendency on earth a "religion."

Edit: also lmao poli sci and economics degree

"Excuse me, the only real socialists are people with professional level liberal ideological education"

Of course literally none of the libs in the comments are willing to engage with this comment.

anarchism as fascism is?

I think your reading comprehension is poor, or you're referring to something outside of this thread. This is definitely not allowed in Hexbear.

Horrible line of reasoning. Anarchist projects have all reverted to capitalism much faster than the Soviet Union did.

The way you liberals need to define ideologies the US government taught you to hate as "religions" is pretty interesting to me.
