Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations
57 readers

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

If someone said the same things but about Ukraine, the Bolsheviks, and Stalin, you all would rightfully be outraged at such dishonesty and propaganda. But since this is about a party you so staunchly disagree with, you'll swallow up bourgeois propaganda.

NOOOOOOO ILL DEFEND YOUR HONOR GONZOLO!
You seriously want to blame tens of thousands of rapes, infanticides, murders of prominent leftists and feminists, and countless other crimes on COINTELPRO?
For all I know, Stalin was never accused of fucking boiling babies alive.
Fuck off. How about you start defending Pol Pot next.
What evidence do you have of infanticide? Y'all take Reddit memes too seriously. This is the first time I'm seeing the accusation of rape against the PCP. Did the Bolsheviks not, in their conquest of state power, murder "prominent leftists" such as the anarchists or the right-opportunist Mensheviks and SRs? The PCP similarly had to fight the revisionist (and actually homophobic) MRTA, and it had to combat state-backed forces and groups siding with the genocidal state.
When did I mention COINTELPRO? Can you even read what I said? Are you willing to engage with me honestly? It seems the answer to those last two questions is clearly "no".
Every communist is accused of such heinous crimes without evidence. Lenin and Stalin are labelled "ruthless tyrants", and Mao was supposedly a "sex pest" according to his "private doctor", though many others close to Mao refuted that. Hell, Stalin is accused of deliberately causing a famine, resulting in infant cannibalism. You people are reasonably principled about those leaders and know to refute those lies, but once the same shit is hurled at the PCP, you capitulate.
Also, it astounds me that you'll trust Bad Empanada on the PCP, but his video on the Holodomor, while not calling Stalin genocidal, still calls it a fault of the government's mismanagement, and thus still Stalin's fault. Anti-Stalin propaganda is bad, but anti-Gonzalo propaganda is good.
Do you know any liberal refutations of what you call myths about the PCP in this thread like there were of "Private Life of Chairman Mao"?
