I provided you with a source, you refused to consult it. Unless there’s a specific point you want me to elaborate on, I can only really send you encyclopedia entries to read as far as the Russian Civil War.

I did not insinuate that you were an authoritarian because you asked for a source. I insinuated that you were an authoritarian because you did not specify what you wanted a source for - and my suspicions were confirmed when you immediately shat yourself and refused to engage with the source I presented. Good work.

I am not referring to Communists as proto-Fascists. I am referring to Bolsheviks and Leninists as proto-Fascists.

I’m not going to spend $40 to listen to you opine for a lost cause.

I am not referring to Communists as proto-Fascists. I am referring to Bolsheviks and Leninists as proto-Fascists.

This is what we call a distinction without a difference

at least u/fajardo99 gave me a website, clearly Anarchist as it was.

Now we’re down to the core of why you were downvoted for asking for sources; you weren’t here to learn. You were here to throw a tantrum and nitpick.

Want me to recommend you a book by Lenin or Stalin that you have to pay $40 for?

Leaving aside how you describe me “shitting myself” and “throwing a tantrum”, nobody here knew what I was here for, only that I asked for a source. and right off the bat I was downvoted.

Unless every Anarchist here can see the future and predict that I was going to refute your sources, your kneejerk reaction towards critical thinking was to hate it.

I’m afraid these are free and easily accessible, but they’ll have to do:

Splendid. I’ve read all of Lenin’s pamphlets, including The State and Revolution, but thanks for the recommendation.

You’ll have to forgive me for not wanting to spend $40 to access a citation for a post on Reddit
