  • The way I see it, genocide is exclusively advocated by fascistic authoritarians, and fascistic authoritarians are extreme right wing, so being against genocide is a left (of fascism) wing viewpoint. Directions are all relative, there is no political center. But on each issue there are sides in different directions. There’s left wing and right wing in regards to capitalism, left wing and right wing in regards to gender, and left wing and right wing in regards to genocide. On the issue of genocide I’m on the same side as 90% of the world, and tankies are over on the other side with Nazis, Taliban, and JK Rowling. Those are the left and right sides, respectively.



  • You could be fully into communism and think genocide is a stellar way to advance your goals

    Not really. Communism is stateless, and I just can’t see genocide being possible without a state apparatus to back it up. When power is truly in the hands of the people, the people have a moral compass that tells them no to such atrocities. The fact that responsibility was/is so concentrated in the hands of evil men that they could perpetrate genocides is part of why China and the USSR are/were not communist. State socialist at best, state capitalist at worst, and also probably most accurate.

    Valid point.

    Stalin were very very left

    Lies.
