Don’t go to r/EuropeanSocialists apparently, worst mistake of my life.

Feel very sad for all the people wishing to learn more about socialism and getting roped into trash like this.

    Dont know if you can read this (i see you got banned) but ill still respond.

    1. This is bs. I used your sub since 1 year ago and it wasnt like that. It was a normal marxist sub. Sure there was somo opposition to identity politics, but nothing like this. Furthermore, i spoke to PolandIsAStateOfMind about this (he was a full member of your community if im not wrong, very active user) and he 100% agreed with me, you are extremely deep into nationalism, social conservatism and even some antisemitism. This is evident to anyone browsing old threads. I never claimed anyone “took over the sub”. Whether you changed your views or you were just hiding them before, only you know.

    2. You dont care about the Talibans policies huh? What kind of marxist are you then? You do know that Mao said “women hold up half the sky” right? And like him Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. I never said that the Taliban are worse than the compradors. I too am happy that the Taliban defeated the imperialists and liberated Afghanistan, and i offer very critical support to them for that. But i will not ignore their extremely reactionary views and history. Its not just about womens rights, although that alone should be a big nono. The Taliban came out of the mujahideen, an US puppet reactionary group that fought the USSR. The only difference between the Taliban and the mujahideen, is that the Taliban wanted a moral independent governance, free of US control and the brutal abuses against civilians that the mujahideen committed. Thats why Mullah Omar founded the Taliban.

    However, they dont disagree with them on their islamism, anticommunism and proAl Qaeda sentiment. Id remind you that it was the Taliban that captured Najibullah, the last leader of socialist Afghanistan, and tortured him to death in brutal ways. If you came out as a communist in Afghanistan, they would hang you in public. Do you realize that? The person i mentioned (frogsknecht) wasnt just saying “its good the Taliban liberated Afghanistan from the imperialists”, which i agree on. No, he was defending their social policies, going as far as saying that “actually, women like being segregated from men in society”, defending death sentences by stoning for adultery and saying that premarital sex is immoral and should be punished. Not even the most socially conservative socialist state ever defended those things. And yet, you act like this is okay. This is not ok! Womens rights have ALWAYS been an integral part of socialism, since Marx. This isnt like LGBT rights where there are disagreements. So theres no justifying this if you are a marxist.

    1. I never said dividing Kosovo was chauvinism, i support that if both serbs and albanians agree on it. I said alba was a chauvinist because he said that Enver Hoxha should have straight up invaded socialist Yugoslavia to take back Kosovo. How is this reasonable? This is not comparable to Israel, Israel is an imperialist regime actively committing genocide against palestinians, excluding them from political representation and imposing military law on them.

    Meanwhile, Yugoslavia and Albania were 2 socialist countries. In Yugoslavia, albanians had full political representation and the same rights as serbs. Albanian was an official language, Kosovo had wide autonomy under the 1970 Constitution, its government was dominated by albanians, albanians tended to be wealthier than serbs, and any type of serb nationalism was harshly suppressed by Tito. Tito never allowed serbs to come settle in Kosovo, in order to maintain an albanian majority. It is literally uncomparable. Albanians lived very well in socialist Yugoslavia, which is why there was pretty much no opposition to the system, despite Albania trying its best to fund and arm terrorists. It was only in the 1980s and onward, when the economic crisis began, that nationalism, both serb and albanian, reflourished.

    Also you think that i oppose antizionism or something? I literally have a baathist flag on my profile picture!
