Aggregating copy/paste source effort posts. Specifically from Muad
I'm trying to go through Muad's comment history to find the link post he used to share about the CPC. He's had a couple of those that he'd pull out for specific situations, and it'd be nice to have them aggregated in one spot.
What's a source comment that you like to paste to stop specific arguments?
Do you have one of those comments that Muad would share to add here?
8 variations of “Jewish?” (Charlie Chaplin), “Polish Jew, (Tom Driberg)” “English Jew,” or “Jewess.”
Paul Robeson - "ROBESON, Paul (US Negro) ...Very anti-white. [Henry] Wallace supporter."
Paul Robeson wasn't anti-white, just look at the welsh coal miners for whom Robeson Campaigned.
The testimony of Paul Robeson (one of the people Orwell snitched on), to HUAC (House of Unamerican activities committee) during the red scare.
Stephen Spender - "Sentimental sympathiser... Tendency towards homosexuality"
Hugh MacDiarmid, Scottish nationalist poet, and anti-imperialist.
George Padmore, Trinidadian journalist and anti-imperialist campaigner.
His books Animal Farm and 1984 are used widely as anti-communist propaganda in schools in the US and UK. So much so that his animated animal farm film was funded by the CIA. There's a reason they teach George Orwell in schools and not Franz Fanon, Che, Huey P Newton, Malcolm X, Lenin, CLR James, etc.
need to make a bot for this post any time fascism gets mentioned.
The western left’s use of the term fascism, is borderline white-supremacist at this point. Fascism was a form of colonialism that died by the 1940s, and is only allowed to be demonized in public discourse, because it was a form of colonialism directed also against white europeans. It was defeated, and Germany / Italy / Japan reverted to the more stable form of government for colonialism: bourgeois parliamentarism.
British, european, and now US colonizers were doing the exact same thing, and killing far more people for hundreds of years in the global south, yet you don’t hear ppl scared of their countries potentially “becoming british colonialists.” This is why you have new leftists terrified that the UK or US or europe “might turn fascist!!”, betraying that the atrocities propagated by those empires against the global south was and is completely acceptable.
