More posts discussing the fallout:
Dbzer0 admin claiming Uyghur genocide is ‘overblown and misrepresented’
Dbzer0 admin casually defending Uyghur genocide denial because “libs worse”, yikes
Banned from meanwhileongrad for “No db0 allowed”.
On Dbzer0, ‘harassing mods’ is when you criticize the top admin of .ml for responding to a Wiki link with a Lemmy search
Does lemmy.ml own db0? db0 denies the Uyghur genocide, begins to backtrack that maybe there are human rights abuses, and then immediately backs off as soon as lemmy.ml admin, Davel, steps in.
Tankie bar, db0, will remove your comments and ban you if you criticise lemmy.ml admin, Davel, for denying the Uyghur genocide
When the tankie bar, db0, is pushed about communists purging peasants, Davels swoops in with dehumanisation. Also, if you bring up the Holodomor then you’re a nazi.
Removed false allegations against goat from a post on db0
An anarchist tankie did a write-up of the constant use of ‘degenerate’ as an insult specifically in the MoG comm
Another anarchist tankie did a write-up of the situation

What are the alternatives to both? Not looking to debate-bro or anything, i’m honestly curious /gen
Not who you asked, but I’d say the closest outside Zapatismo is Nkruhmahism-Touréism, which draws heavy influence from Marxism-Leninism to my understanding but takes most of its influence specifically from Kwame Nkrumah and Ahmed Touré.
That’s… obscure :D I’ve never heard of it, but it looks very interesting. From a very surface-level analysis, it looks quite similar to Nasserism, but probably less anti-communist lol
Speaking of, while we’re talking about this, what are your thoughts about Nasser/Nasserism?
Nkrumahism-Touréism is gaining in popularity among pan-African socialists, but that’s about the extent of my knowledge on the subject. Quasi-socialist national liberation movements like Nasserism are generally progressive in moving against imperialism and towards self-determination, so in that frame it’s like a more progressive Baathism. In the context of imperialism as the primary obstacle to global socialism, those groups earn more critical support than comprador regimes.
That being said, I’m far from an expert on Nasser and Nasserism, the middle east is an area I’m quite undereducated on. Hoping to learn more about African struggles in the How Europe Underdeveloped Africa reading threads, but outside of Palestinian liberation and the various factions involved with it like the PFLP, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc, my knowledge for now is too low for me to really have an opinion beyond my general support for opposition to imperialism.
Understandable and respectable, thanks!
No problem!
