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

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.

Just want to say here that regardless of the political benefits that can be obtained with violence, I do think all lives matter including Nazis, and I think most people can be convinced of this if they can be shown how similar all our experiences are. It seems like once you realize that a Nazi is essentially a version of yourself with slightly different psychological pressures, you can realize that, as painful as it may be, they are human, and your desire for humans not to suffer extends to them. Realizing this doesn’t preclude instrumental violence against them, but it can prevent the feeling of hatred.

I’ve never seen Haskell used, but it looks the most readable. I would consider using it if I didn’t think it would piss off other devs.
