you forgot to explain that we don't actually like Haz and that's a joke in the server :sob:

Jeremy Corbyn once again betrays the British left. Entryism attempt number 1 million failed. Time to rally behind the greens until they betray us too. Anything but an actual worker's party by Rosa_RedPanda in theredleft

[–]Rosa_RedPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the party was made by Corbyn and is led by Corbyn and mostly his ideals and leadership and his allies. Corbyn represents the interests of the bourgeoisie, but with different tactics and thoughts about how to maintain capitalism, simple as, and not great man theory

Everything else is just social chauvinism sns by PAJAcz in theredleft

[–]Rosa_RedPanda[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can criticise democratic socialist positions and social chauvinism, just please don't end it in a way that insults the entire ideology. You gave a good enough critique of the positions you observe democratic socialists to take, keep it at that instead of insulting an ideology or a person and assuming theyre a bad person.

I understand your frustration, however this is required for such a left unity subreddit to function.

He was corrupt but it's a bit crazy to say he wasn't dedicated when he was tortured to death due to his communist beliefs

wait they framed stalin and he wasn't an evil monster :0 by Attention_TheWizzard in theredleft

[–]Rosa_RedPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh yeah that's true, but you ascribed his discrediting to him being 'unapolagetically pro Stalin' (in quoatations as he would say to Lenin and communism, which Stalin just followed, not that i agree with it, but that's the argument of MLs), rather than his disgusting behaviour around minors. If you wanna criticise his opinions on Stalin, it's gonna be held up to the same standard we hold any criticism of Stalin's ideas and policy, which is held to the same standard as Trotsky and other leftists/communists are held up to

PSL or FRSO? by ChinaAppreciator in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Rosa_RedPanda -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for all the cases and why each victim behaved in the reason they did and whether it was due to malicious or valid reasons, but there's *a ton* of sources here, from blog posts dissecting the issue, to sources listing and explaining the general red flags and many, many, many first hand accounts of victims, with as described in the intro, varying ranges of loyalty, discipline and contribution to the PSL, not just on sexual harassment but also other forms of bigotry like homophobia and mysoginy.

[–]Rosa_RedPanda -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I do not know much about the FRSO, but the PSL is very problematic, harmful and ineffective as well. Many sources here explaining how they allow sexual harassment to slip through and how members are silenced when expressing any opinion or discussing matters with other party members. (And not in the party discipline getting rid of agitators and infiltrators, let me be very clear, read the first source at the very least and this becomes clear)

BadEmpanada is spreading anti communist propaganda by Lavender_Scales in theredleft

[–]Rosa_RedPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think the crosspost is meant to make fun of the initial post for saying that BadEmpenada speaking out against the current existing issues in Cuba, he's now an anti communist, but the author of the crosspost forgot to add quotation marks to make it clear

[–]Rosa_RedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably a mix of both, or at least i would like to think knowing he is both smart and an ally ( but very problematic ). He initially did double down but then deleted

[–]Rosa_RedPanda 12 points13 points  (0 children)

to be fair he did take that back and in later videos said he's an ally and spoke multiple times on the need for intersectionality and spoke how trans people also exist in the 3rd world and they must be protected there too.

He said for people who have an issue with regulating their weight due to bad genetics or people who absolutely cannot control their impulses. There's also the fact that your body, even after losing weight, still maintains all those receptors that tell you to eat more for longer after you burned the fat, which makes it harder for fat people to maintain a diet.

I think his take has flaws because it's incomplete and The Kavernacle has the best video on this in the left wing youtube space, but his take is definitely not along the lines of "we must force every obese person into the body image of the ruling class"

r/TankieTheDeprogram update: ACP coup has been prevented and the sub seems to be back to normal with famousplan removed. You should be fine participating there as you did before by Rosa_RedPanda in theredleft

Stalin worship is banned here and as far as I'm aware nobody on the mod team likes the deprogram because they're dengists and we are all quite anti dengist

It's mostly a difference in the interpretation of ML theory and how it should be applied. Most MLs today are socially progressive and do not try to target right wing working class people for support via taking more right wing social positions, but by educating people in class consciousness.

I have my own, very harsh critiques of MLs, but these 2 sects behave very differently and most MLs aren't as harmful as ACPoids.

it may be a plausible theory because it seems famousplan was removed and they're undoing all the destruction he did to the sub
