Yes i dont think a poem that lists several groups of people being targeted by the state is the same as someone saying they want to disclose people who have been working to undermine Europe on behalf of russia.
This has nothing to do with communists they were not mentioned. MLs are only a subsect of communists and they are mentioned for deepthroating Putin’s boot not because they’re communists.
I really would love to understand where this idea that “Marxist Leninist = Putin supporter”
Marxist Leninist (myself included) hate Putin. Putin is literally the embodiment of western neoliberalism in post Soviet Russia. He was literally installed and supported by western aligned oligarchs and capitalist within Russia.
I really am curious where you get this idea. I’d love receipts. I really hope it’s not just “MLs criticize NATO”. I really really hope it’s not just a binary view of the world like that. I swear people view the world like it’s a football match.
Why would we not criticize Putin? He’s a reactionary capitalist. Our critique of Putin isn’t that he’s some supernatural evil like liberal analysis often circles back to, but instead based on his actual, material position. Pushing back on liberal analysis doesn’t mean Putin is “our guy” or anything of the sort. First and foremost, we oppose the imperialist system headed by the US, and NATO which exists to protect it.
Any critical support for Russia extends to their right to self-determination from NATO encirclement, and their opposition to western imperialism, not to their reactionary, bourgeois society nor Putin at the top. The dissolution of the Soviet Union was a tremendous human tragedy, one that directly led to the current war today.
Marxist-Leninists despise NATO, for the genocidal terror inflicted by its member-states around the world and its position as a coalition of imperialist powers. Marxist-Leninists also despise Putin and United Russia, and believe socialism to be a necessity for Russia in the future that the nationalists will not accept willingly.
The major difference is that Marxists are materialists. We don’t believe Putin is some embodiment of supernatural evil trying to eat babies and conquer the world, we seek materialist explanations for the conditions and analyze them dialectically. This puts our analysis at odds with those who see the world similarly to Marvel movies, as conflict between the forces of good and evil.

Yep, just trying to keep it basic in this environment. There’s a mountain of depth we could go to, but for many people here this may be their first time hearing actual opposition to NATO as an institution, with no knowledge of Marxism beyond “capitalism bad, communism good.” You gotta meet people where they are at, without committing tailist errors by blocking further growth.
For sure. I just feel like “it was full of nazis from its’ inception” is a good starting point - If there are good sources backing the claim. Most people understand that “nazi = bad” so it’s a great way to make them think deeper about NATO because most westerners are of the notion that “NATO = good”
Yep, linking the Wikipedia page for Adolf Heusinger can be helpful. At the same time, liberals tend to compartmentalize that to the past and focus instead on the present, like history is a series of snapshots. This is the limit of metaphysical analysis at the heart of liberalism. The entrypoint should often instead be how NATO is actively bad today. Then you can connect it historically as supporting evidence, and use this to develop rudimentary historical materialist analysis.
So you have no examples? Like, you don’t even have to link it. You can literally just tell me an example. I’m just asking for the bare minimum here mate.
My feed is full of Linux memes and pro Palestine posts. I’m not the charactercher you’ve constructed in your head.
Responded here. Basically, I couldn’t find anything showing what people claim, but I would love to. At least we have a starting point if we can find any post. After that we need to move to it being so common it’s just something you see, but hey, let’s just start at step one and take it from then.
who have been working to undermine Europe on behalf of russia.
literally zero evidence of this other than a lot of loud people with hurt feelings online.
‘saying they want to disclose’
here’s what OP thinks
i’m a trans anarchist who happened to land on this server out of sheer fucking happenstance almost 4 years ago, part of why i havent bothered to leave is because it’s always the most overt fascists getting really mad about a fucking posting server.
Even if only one person at the bar is a Nazi, if you keep going everyone is going to call you a Nazi as well once the bar is known for being on with Nazis.
As long as your ok with being associated with the thing the place is known for then it doesn’t really matter.
The vocal group of a place is it’s face no matter how big or small that group is.
Ask the typical tankie from ml or hexbear whether they agree that Putin should face his criminal charges at the ICC and is just as much a war criminal as Bibi and that they were wrong to invade Ukraine and wage an attempted genocide, and whether China and North Korea are also complicit in genocide for supporting Russia’s illegal invasion. I bet the majority dodge the straightforward question with what should be a straightforward answer.
Don’t be dismayed by conglomeration of either young and naive kool-aid drinkers, or the actual foreign operatives (for which we know have major online troll farms).
Russia is engaged in a war with a near peer, Israel is committing an extermination campaign on Palestine using stolen land. I have no love for Putin, reactionary nationalist that he is, but to equate the Russo-Ukrainian war with the genocide of Palestine is to make a mockery of genocide. Further, such a blanket statement erases the plight of the people of the Donbass region, who have been at war with Kiev since 2014 and who want to join the Russian Federation. The Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics have just as much a right to self-determination as Palestinians do.
Condemn Putin all you want, I have no love for him as I said. Hang him if you will. But don’t undermine the actual plight of the many decades of genocide committed against the Palestinian people to “own the tankies.” You have a history of undermining the plight of Palestinians, this isn’t a new development for you, it’s a repeated pattern.
Right, and there’s no one who supports Putin on .ml.
For a group of people who like to fellate themselves talking about “nuance” you people struggle with anyone who has a deeper analysis than “Putin evil, Russians are orcs, Russia is Mordor, Europe is full of elves, zelensky is Aragorn”. It makes you see red and go “OH SO YOU LOVE PUTIN??? WOWWWW”
Ah yes, I made a typo and therefore anything I say is dumb and wrong.
You made the assertion that no one on ml supports putin. I’ve argued with many people on ml who support what russia is doing in Ukraine. Now, im not so naive to say that everyone who supports russias annexation is a putin supporter, but by the very fact they support his actions, they implicitly have some level of support of putin. It ain’t hard bruh.

Do you think Russia is still run by MLs?
Woah, I have never seen a Marxist Leninist on here criticise Putin before. Fair play.
Why would we not criticize Putin? He’s a reactionary capitalist. Our critique of Putin isn’t that he’s some supernatural evil like liberal analysis often circles back to, but instead based on his actual, material position.

I’m happy to hear that.
Really?
Really.
I guess we hang out in different circles then.
Don’t play dumb to try and waste my time. You know exactly where it comes from and you’re on the ML instance so your feed is full of pro russia shit.

Well… That, and the fact that it is a nazi institution full of nazis that put nazis back into power in West germany 2
Not that the history of an institution condems it completely, but it certainly does not help when it continues to be a nazi institution

The irony of people doing guilt by association on .ml posting the biggest Nazi bar on Lemmy is sending me
So you can’t prove it? Alright

It’s just the Nazi bar problem.

What?
It means your statement is bs
