I’ve seen this piece pop up as some counter in forums or elsewhere online. Its very bizarre, at least in my opinion.
At one point in the piece it says communist led world will still pollute earth like capitalist excesses already do. Down further says how the evil soviets did holodomor genocide or evil ccp great leap genocide and its a ecological destruction.
I don’t think most communists are unaware of climate catastrophe or urgency of tackling meat or fossil fuel industry. I don’t think those things come about by some divine stroke of shift popular beliefs overnight cause individuals one at a time will influence masses with their choices.
Also the beginning section is odd to me. I don’t know if communists or some nominal left leaning people say the ethical consumption line to write off and justify horrible state of the system.
As far as I understand the statement on no ethical consumption : its an indictment of this untenable system and how deeply entwined it is with all forms oppression in order to keep it going.
I don’t know overall I think this article is unproductive.
Imperialist propaganda = instantaneously dismissed.
The point of talking to anarchists is to find openings for movement building in the West, but if their “I trust no authority” implies “still trusting imperialist authority over non-imperialist” there will be no meaningful cooperation whatsoever
Yeah. It is wild to push whatever is pushed by imperialist networks. The whole holodomor campaign was pushed by literal waffen ss galicia high command. One of prominent high status nazis kubijovych who worked with canada to publish re written history of Ukraine. Most of those in the committee to determine holodomor by UCC are literally nazis. One of them from canada, Wasyl kushnir who literally wanted waffen ss veterans to be safely sent back to Canada.
Legit just buying nazi shit which was pushed cynically their participation in the Holocaust is very brazen.
