    You responded to people having positive opinions about Che Guevara with some “we need less authoritarianism, not more” style comments.

    But what was Cuba to do with the US right next door? How would they be able to defend their revolution by immediately dissolving the state? Is the situation currently in Cuba ideal, and was it ideal in the past? Of course not, but they made certain decisions for a reason. Usually a protectionist one that was a product of its time. Look at how many times the CIA tried to kill Castro for example. How can the state instantly be dismantled when under such a siege?

    Even then it’s can easily be argued that your average Cuban experiences less “authoritarianism” post revolution, even with all the struggles in the country.

    All I know is that Cuba, even when under seige, helped my country, South Africa, to fight apartheid, by sending their army to fight in the border wars. No one else did such. They may be a state at the end of the day, with the downsides all states have, but what they have achieved must be acknowledged and respected. A greater life expectancy than the US. Fighting injustice. An inclusive family code, making up for mistakes of the past.

    From its earliest days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orchestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution

          sectarianism is only something that a tankie cares about when we won’t bend the knee.

              yes, which is why anyone calling for “left unity” makes us suspicious.

            tankie

            Do you know the historical origins of the term, tankie, perchance?

                It specifically was a slander against Khruschev for putting down a “revolution” in Hungary. That revolution was a CIA-backed “color revolution.” where fascists were doing pogroms against Jews and Communists.

    You’re probably looking for raddle.me; this is a left unity site, so you gotta be friendly with the commies. Raddle is strictly anarchist, though not strictly left-anarchist as far as I can tell.

      If you mean it’s a much better echo chamber for anarcho-bidenists, then yes, it is. There are lots of open and happy anarchists here because this site actually cares about left unity and will ban sectarianism. Raddle is anti-left unity and bans anyone who hints at being of a tendency the creator doesn’t like. As for being “very active” :che-laugh: that place has been a ghost town for years. As opposed to hexbear that’s had consistently high engagement since it started.

          Not allowed to post :PIGPOOPBALLS: on raddle. And this guy has the gall to call us authoritarian. You wouldn’t know freedom if it showed up in your :post-hog:

Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.
