Whenever you criticize authoritarianism as practiced by groups or individuals that position themselves on the left, at least one person shows up to invalidate your criticism, without really engaging with what you brought up, and that not by mere logical reasoning, but by applying an ideological believe that thrives for some sort of unity, and just pushes that believe with what ever logical fallacy suits at the moment best.
I don’t get it. What’s the problem with criticism against authoritarianism in an anarchist forum?
I, too, am very bothered by this. I don’t mind to encounter differing viewpoints, but denial of reality (regarding the crimes of leninism against the people) as a community culture is mentally exhausting. To be fair, i’m equally annoyed by anarchist groupthink labeling any kind of liberal/marxist an enemy to freedom without taking into account they may not have sufficient information to make an informed decision on the matter, and may have been brought to marxism/liberalism (or the corresponding labels) for ideas/concerns of liberty.
Maybe the folks at !hispagatos@lemmy.ml (cc @rek2@lemmy.ml) or Disroot (or other suggestions?) would be interested in running an anarchist lemmy instance?
