This poll is just a vibe check. We're anarchists and a lot of non-anarchists are joining from Twitter and there's a question around what kind of environment we collectively want and can sustain. Really interested in hearing why people joined #Kolektiva and what y'all would like to see continue. 🏴🖤     
@admin I’m a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and I trust this instance’s politics the most of all the stress tested instances, simple as that.
@squid @admin fuck you
@Iguanadelmar Much love to you and all others with our mutual goals under this hellish system currently monopolizing the Earth. <3
@squid mutual goals like lining anarchists up against the wall? Fuck off

@Iguanadelmar Do you wish to line anarchists up against the wall? I’m not sure what you’re doing on an instance run by anarchists if so. Quite disturbing.

Perhaps you should leave, if you wish for the death of anarchists.

Might I recommend going outside or something, if your current situation allows for it?

@squid what are you trying to be cute?

MLs have a long and repeated history of murdering anarchists.

So fuck off, tankie   

@Iguanadelmar Helpful tip: Sober up before your next reply
@squid nice. Slip in a bit of substance use prejudice. Classic tankie move. Lets see what conservative values show up next. Maybe some homophobia? A pinch of antisemitism?

@Iguanadelmar The actual fuck are you talking about?

I too get into internet arguments while intoxicated, and I tend to regret it. That’s the only place I was coming from, and I reiterate my friendly advice.

@squid this isnt an argument, this is routine harassment of tankies. So take your tankie ass outta here and go read some history ya tankie fuck
@Iguanadelmar Let me get this straight, you’re asking me to read history? That’s a little amusing. And you consider this harassment? You’re going to have to at least accuse me of being a pedophile or something before I would grant you such a verdict.
@squid if you know your history and youre still an ML, then youre a fascist in disguise
P.s. did i mention fuck off?

@Iguanadelmar I could make a joke about knowing your history and being an anarchist, but what’s the point?

Hero worship is toxic. Marx himself would tell you so.

What was your point exactly?

@squid youre totally incoherent.
The point was you should fuck off. Its not hard.
@squid oh look what just popped up in my timeline
#OtD 17 Dec 1933 sexual contact between men was re-criminalised in the USSR, after it had been decriminalised in 1922 in the wake of the 1917 revolution. After it was introduced, gay and bisexual men began to flood into the gulags. Learn more: https://libcom.org/history/gay-gulag​

@Iguanadelmar Reading the post you’re replying to might help. Again, hero worship is toxic.

In case you didn’t notice, I don’t interact with minors. If your age is the reason for your incapacitation, please stop talking to me.

ETA: And your link is a 404 lol. Beautiful. Try actually reading sources you link, it usually helps.

@squid https://libcom.org/article/gay-gulag

Classic genocide denier tactics. Im sure youll ignore this post now

Gay in the gulag

Historical information about the repression of gay men in the Soviet Union in the wake of the government's re-criminalisation of homosexuality in 1933, after its decriminalisation in 1922. Trigger warning for sexual violence.

libcom.org

@Iguanadelmar Why are you claiming I deny genocide? Also, how is it a “tactic” to point out that you pasted a broken link and clearly didn’t actually read what you were sending me?

Explain how this relates at all to our discussion and perhaps I’ll read it. As a trans woman, I don’t feel like triggering myself just for the sake of your trolling.

@squid lol. You simp for marx and lenin and mao. They thought up and built systems that massacred millions of people. When one of these genocides is brought up, instead of engaging with it, you complain about a broken link. As if that invalidates the fact that countless people were killed. Thats how marxists engage with history: they pick and choose, and deny genocide. Thats how they maintain the cognotive dissonance of supporting a murderous authoritarian ideology for liberatory reasons.
Fuck.
Off.

@Iguanadelmar If only anything you just said was true. How was I supposed to engage with a broken link, telepathy?

And most importantly, when have I ever denied genocide?

@squid there was a summary posted with the broken link. And i notice you still havent engaged with it

You deny genocide by calling yourself a leninist and a maoist.

This is going around in circles because your thinking is circular. A common affliction among marxists.

@squid how about you just go argue with the @workingclasshistory bot. It just posted another one for you to play dumb with. Theres thousands of these.

#OtD 17 Dec 1970 soldiers were ordered to fire upon Polish dockworkers in Gdynia by the state to attempt to crush protests against price rises. Dozens were killed then buried, but strikes grew until the government had to back down https://libcom.org/history/1970-71-uprising-poland​

@Iguanadelmar Play dumb by acknowledging that you have no clue what you’re talking about and are linking random shit to see what might work?

Here’s what I just said to someone that actually had enough respect for me to engage, and not just troll like you. See the difference?

So, do you have anything real to say, or just more irrelevant trolling?

squirl (@[email protected])

@Chyzol “Lastly - if you cannot etc” Can you have one? Should I call myself a Marxist-Maoist, would that meet your approval? Do you know about the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion? Do you know that my Ukrainian friend had to evacuate to Poland, a very bigoted country, and I fear for her safety? I could delve into my personal history with genocide and genocidal tyrants, but you would call me a liar, so I won’t bother. Talk shit get hit, as the Americans say.

kolektiva.social

@Iguanadelmar It’s going around in circles because you refuse to engage, not the other way around. You post triggering content then decline to give a reason that it is relevant.

Because, of course, it isn’t relevant at all.

@squid oh im sorry did the mention of soviet genocide trigger you? Yeah wow how difficult to imagine how that might be relevant to someone calling themself an ML...
Im not trying to change your mind, im just harassing you for fun. I dont try to save nazis or tankies. I just like punching them.

@Iguanadelmar No. Again, I am a trans woman. You know damn well what triggered me, and why I’m not interested in reading it unless it actually pertains to the topic, which it obviously doesn’t.

Not to mention that you haven’t even read it. I prefer to read things the person linking has actually read themselves. You didn’t even notice it was a 404 until I said so.

I’d prefer not to report you, but you’re really crossing some lines now.

@squid haha, go ahead tankie. Try to call the anarchist cops on me. Hahaha

@Iguanadelmar You literally admit that you are flagrantly and purposefully violating the kolektiva code of conduct just above.

Really so confident they’ll be on your side just because they’re anarchist? (Unlike you, it would seem…)

@squid suggestion : if you find soviet genocide triggering, maybe you should... stop simping for soviets

Lmao

@Iguanadelmar Where did I do that, childish one?

As I clearly stated, extreme homophobia and transphobia trigger me, and so I prefer not to read irrelevant things you haven’t even read yourself that feature such things.

I already know plenty about the topic obviously, perhaps you should read it instead.

@Iguanadelmar The admin didn’t seem to think so when I talked with them last month.

Have they been replaced in my absence, or something? What are you implying exactly?

@squid theres a clear anti-tankie policy on this instance. Why dont you go find yourself some friendly little internet rathole where you can have a little tankie circlejerk? Nobody wants you here.

@Iguanadelmar No, there clearly isn’t. Go back and check. Either way, I’m not a “tankie”, whatever that is, so even if there were I’d be good.

All there is is a recommendation to not lionize or defend the USSR, C”C”P, or DPRK. It’s not banned, but I don’t do it anyway, so…
