Seeing libs seethe about “too many tankies” is really funny. (lemmygrad.ml)

On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

you can’t possibly argue that his regime in the USSR was not authoritarian in nature

We don't. We recognize that the State is a tool of oppression for one class over another, and will always be "authoritarian".

So why do you promote the writings of a man who set up an oppressive State?

Why not e.g. Engels, who actively said the following:

A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon

Do you not agree that this description matches the Bolsheviks in 1918?

I'm not sure what you're arguing, Engels' quote supports my argument.
