My post on the “no red brown alliance” banner should not have been removed. I got a lot of smug and condescending responses and the site kept hanging when I tried to reply. You seem to think that because non-Marxists like Red Scare, Maupin, and Infrared (all weirdos into Heidegger who HAVE NEVER READ MARXIST WRITING! THEY ADMIT IT! EVERY SINGLE ONE! JUST LIKE ZIZEK! STOP ENTERTAINING THESE PEOPLE!), or the deranged Fourth Political Theory people exist that means there is some tendency for alliance between Marxists and fascists.

You are repurposing a club that was used to beat the CPUSA for its politics on Cuba and the USSR, & to slander the USSR for making a treaty with Hitler (Matt Christman did this recently btw he called it an alliance, you all have goopy brains). You’re repurposing it against people who are literally just brown-brown. There’s no red-brown. Goddamn

It’s like “no genocide denial” - sure it sounds nice to you in your imagination, but it has history. In reality it means banning everyone who denies Stalin & Mao killed 50 billion people, banning everyone who points out China isn’t sterilizing Uyghurs, wholeheartedly eating the Victims of Communism Foundation propaganda or you don’t get to speak.

Ironically the first time I heard this phrase was from Alexander Reid-Ross (before he got ousted from Portland State for sexual harassment) posting about the Chapo subreddit, using analytics to prove they were fascist by association. The same way he used dubious anonymous twitter account examples to pin guilt by association on things.

Also was used during the Iraq war & Syrian war as slander against antiwar communists, it’s the exact same kind of thing as “why do communists think russia is based??? It’s not communist silly!” thing but applied to Saddam Hussein and Assad.

Really just goes to show how well Twitch reality show politics trojan horses NATO bullshit into people’s minds

    I think it’s pretty straightforward. Go ahead and play dumb, pretend you can’t read, you’ll find out what “left unity” means soon first hand. You’ll realize these people are intractable manchildren.

      The most recent thing I saw on hexbear about “red-brown alliances” was when there was a bunch of astroturfing for the fascist led rage against the war machine rally going around the internet. They aren’t the kind to call MLs redfash.

      The most I can get from OP’s hysterical screed is that they made a post about the banner in pic related complaining about it on hexbear, got banned for being an insufferable prick, and made a post here to seeth about it. They’re also flipping shit at lemmygrad admins for reasons unclear.

      Edit: Found the post. Called it, @ICBM@lemmygrad.ml is a fucking dipshit who doesn’t know what words mean. Get a load of this:

      Hmm, could the website that regularly defends the USSR be addressing actual fascists? No, they must be using a dogwhistle to call the USSR fascist.

      What a headass.
