WTF? Are you suggesting anti-white racism is a thing? Funny idea for someone who likes to think of themself as anti-imperialist... If you're instead suggesting that i said anti-white racism is a thing please read the comments again i was saying the exact opposite.
Yea i agree the original comment was inappropriate, but please be careful when using such a loaded word as "racism" just because someone spelled "white" or "black" :P
I also strongly recommend you read the wikipedia page on reverse racism, aka anti-white racism. Have a good day!
Errr parent comment was troubling, but your claiming that calling out whiteness is "racism" is even more troubling. I don't know a single place on earth where anti-white racism is a thing, despite fascists claiming that. To be clear, some anti-white resentment does exist in white-supremacist regions, but resentment is not racism or rather is a small subset of racism and not the actual problem that we more precisely call "structural racism". (see also the wikipedia pages on those topics :))
"Minor" nitpick: there was a communist revolution in 1917 in Russia and Ukraine. But after Lenin came back from western european comfort, seized power and murdered all the revolutionaries with the help of his friend Trotsky, there was no communism afterwards, only State capitalism.
I mean it makes sense that the majority of the remaining population has decent standard of living when you have slave work in the gulags... under that standard, nazi Germany also had good economic standards thanks to the working camps. That doesn't make any of these approaches good.
It would help your point that mutualizing (and fairly sharing) resources is an overall improvement to humanity, if you were not confusing actual communism (such as the zapatistas are practicing to this day) with genocidal tyranny.
That's also why i love the rust ecosystem. If you have rust installed and have your local dependencies (or only use the standard library), the docs can be generated locally (cargo doc). I certainly remember local manuals helping me out more than once over the years :)
Can we talk about French genocide of Algeria? Or USA’s ongoing genocide of Yemen since many years?
Please do. We've been talking about it for years, but more conversation/information is always welcome.
Who genocided the muslim populations of the USSR? Was it the USA and western colonizers too? Does that ring any bells? From the wikipedia page on Deportation of Chechens and Ingush:
The deportation was prepared from at least October 1943 and 19,000 officers as well as 100,000 NKVD soldiers from all over the USSR participated in this operation. The deportation encompassed their entire nations, as well as the liquidation of the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The demographic consequences of this eviction were catastrophic and far reaching: of the 496,000 Chechens and Ingush who were deported (according to Soviet archives; Chechen sources put the deportees at 650,000[1]), at least a quarter perished. In total, the archive records show that over a hundred thousand people died or were killed during the round-ups and transportation, and during their early years in exile in the Kazakh and Kyrgyz SSR as well as Russian SFSR where they were sent to the many forced settlements. Chechen sources claim that 400,000 died, while presuming a higher number of deportees.
Just because western empires are evil does not mean other empires have to be good.
Ukraine would have become Afghanistan 2.0 if NATO was allowed to take over.
Are you saying that western powers were planning a military invasion of Ukraine? This makes no sense, as there was no major military deployment indicating it, nor was there any psyops in the west to mount a narrative justifying such invasion.

Dear Lemmy, as you may well be aware, racial hierarchies and colonial empires are doing good in these early 2020s. In particular, in the days of the war in Ukraine, it's important to point out the fascist tendencies at play.
Fascism and racial/cultural hierarchies are on the rise on every continent, from Turkey to Brasil, to China, to France, to India... Fuck all Nations! Destroy all borders, and long live autonomous Communes!
On the Ukraine side of things, there's a bunch of neo-nazis in the army, as well as more traditional nationalists/fascists. It's not exactly a secret, and the former president was very close to these circles:
On the Russian side of things, there's also a bunch of neo-nazis in the army as well as traditional nationalists/fascists. It's not exactly a secret either:
Both governments have long fought against popular movements and anarchist/antifascist networks. Both countries have neo-nazi/fascist militias parading down the streets and beating/killing random people. Just like France or USA have them too.
Don't trust me? Check out the wikipedia page on neo-nazism. Follow their sources and make yourself an opinion. It's very instructive, although very incomplete. I definitely recommend to check out the Racism in Ukraine and Racism in Russia pages, too.
Please remember that when you try to paint one side of a conflict as the good anti-nazi hero. Nazis are fucking everywhere. Fascists and nazis have been running the show in much of the world even after WWII ended. Nazi collaborators were responsible for France's war against the algerian people, and their grandchildren (spiritual or biological) are responsible for today's new repression, wars and genocides.
We need to dismantle nazism and fascism at its root: the nation State and cultural supremacy. Yes, you should be proud of your local culture and land. No, that does not justify diminishing other cultures/lands.
All we exploited/struggling people have to stand in solidarity with other people struggling for freedom and equality across the planet. No border divides us in the international socialist/anarchist movement. We will fight against all Empires for autonomous communities worldwide!
PS: If you need more detailed resources on neo-nazi/neo-fascist/nationalist/traditionalist on the rise in a specific country/region, feel free to ask. There are chances i have some good articles/documentaries, and if not i've got ideas about who to ask.
If you can point to one instance where i advocated for NATO, i'd be happy to provide an apology. Unfortunately this does not exist except in your mind where being against the Russian empire means siding with the western empire. I strongly recommend you do some reading on third-worldism and the importance of non-alignment (in regards to colonial empires) for the socialist/communist/anarchist movement worldwide.
Do you seek interest in publishing photos on Lemmy like this, since you call critics of current narrative “puppets of Russian Empire”?
Challenge accepted. I'm all up for denouncing nazism/fascism where it is. I just criticize when denouncing a specific brand of fascism is done in a way to reinforce another (whether it's USA or Russian fascism/imperialism).

[And] nobody bothered in the west
That's definitely not true. I'm not saying these movements are heard or effective, but there's still a strong anti-war/anti-colonial movement in the West, in both the decolonial circles and in the libertarian networks.
You should definitely be pointing this out in regards to hypocrisy of state/industry-controlled media and the variable empathy bombed people get from them. I definitely upvoted.
Not upvoting, not because the subject isn't interesting, but because of the framing: "The great popular hero russia restores water to the poor victims of the ukrainian despotism".
I'd be interested in more sources on the implications behind this. I'd also be interested if you were to publish the same kind of propaganda against Turkey's war crimes against the autonomous communities of Rojava ;-)

Sorry you won't find that here. This is an anarchist forum so it's anarchist humor. State propaganda is not welcome here.
Also thanks for make me laugh: the marxist-leninist trope of "everyone who disagrees with my dictatorship is secretly a government operative" never dies ;)
