Theoretically Lemmy could open a pop-up or redirect to sign in through your instance.

It would be nice if you could sign-in/comment directly from the blog. But I’m guessing the Lemmy api doesn’t provide that without making the blog it’s own instance

On c/memes?

Are you doing that on Lemmy? In what communities?

From the comments I think people aren’t getting the joke that the left is a female character and the right is a male character.

I mentioned examples. I don’t know of any counter-examples.

Why what happened? As far as why Anarchists were attacked by communists, it is ppssible the USSR was more interested in developing a strategic ally than simply fighting Fascists. As far as why Franco won, I think the biggest reason was his much greater international support from Germany, Italy, and even American corporate powers.

I don’t know how the war would have gone if those events hadn’t taken place, but it seems to have undermined the strength of the popular front. And from what I’ve read the anarchists were sufficiently organized. The type of Anarchism popular amongst the Spanish was a syndicalist strain very different from the hyper-individualism people expect from anarchists today.

I’m not sure they did, at least not preemptively. Do you have examples?

USSR-aligned groups, where they had power in Spain, in many instances used that power to imprison, smear, and seize weapons from, and attack non-USSR-aligned groups. You can look up José Cazorla’s anti-subversion measures in Madrid, or PSUC’s attacks on POUM during the Barcelona May Days.

Are you referring to instances in which Anarchist groups in the Spanish Civil War took actions to hurt Communist groups? I won’t claim it didn’t happen, but I don’t know of examples.

My only goal was to push back on the notion that the Spanish Civil War was lost due to anarchist disorganization. I’m not sure what response the other commenter warrants, it’s just a quip.

The Spanish Civil War wasn’t anarchists vs fascists. There was a popular front that included anarchists, socialists, communists, liberals. The USSR-associated groups made a grab for power over the anarchist factions, which can’t have helped the war effort.

the Anarchists of the Spanish Civil War got absolutely rolled betrayed by the well organized and disciplined Fascists Communists

FTFY

She claimed to be super progressive left in 2016 and 2020 during the presidential elections. She then endorsed Biden then trashed Biden and endorsed Trump. She clearly just wants a cabinet position with someone.

She fully supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. She ran as a progressive in 2020 against Bernie with almost identical policies, and then suddenly endorsed Biden when she realized Bernie wasn’t going to win. She then started going on Fox etc. and trashing Biden, and now is endorsing Trump. She has run the entire political spectrum according to who she thinks is likely to win and give her a cabinet position without regard to policy. Also she is part of a Hawaiian cult that wants to take over the world.

Even if you are pro trump, politicians doing a 180 on their views should alarm you. It’s nice to be able to support a candidate with some assurance that they are what they say they are.

I mean it doesn’t seem like too big an ask to require the country you’re arming not to do slavery. If they want the weapons that badly I’m sure it will work.

I won’t argue against the idea of sending aid to Ukraine on principle, but I will just mention a few considerations:

1. Ukraine relies on conscription. Men are being arrested off the street to join the front lines. Millions of men have fled the country, and are now being hunted down in the places they fled to src. In supporting Ukraine’s military, the US and EU allies are inadvertently supporting military slavery.
2. The Ukrainian government has a corruption issue, and it is likely that a lot of the aid being sent is being embezzled. src 1 src 2

Point 1 could be rectified by conditioning aid on reversing the draft. Point 2 may be more difficult to address.
