It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
"Leftists" who never read theory and live in the Global North inevitably side with Empire and Colonialism, and see people pushing for national liberation and revolution as dangerous to them personally. Anansi is the premier example of this, to the point of death threats against Communists.
Let's analyze this.
Extremely serious claims (among the ridiculous like the idea that there could be a "left-wing fascism), let's see how they justify it.
Primarily "authoritarians?" Who forms their political ideology around supporting use of authority, and not based on analysis of material conditions and who modern structures serve? This claim is left unsupported as though it is natural and obvious, as though people decide to be "authoritarian" by siding against Imperialism and colonialism, seeking power from siding with the people with less power. It's nonsense.
Secondly, there is a claim of using the "same tools," as fascists, which is false. Communists are revolutionary, fascists work with the establishment. Communists support democracy via Democratic Centralism, fascists crush democracy. Communists are internationalists, fascists are nationalists. Communists support violence against oppressors as a tool of liberation, fascists support violence against the oppressed as a tool of submission. It's further nonsense.
Finally, the idea that it is the Communists siding with fascists, and not the liberals and Social Democrats siding with the facsists against the Communists, is entirely absurd and historically revisionist. From the SPD siding against the KPD and with the NSDAP, to any major historical current, Communists have sided against the fascists.
Anansi, read Blackshirts and Reds. You fundamentally have no idea what Communism and Fascism are, who the Communists and Fascists serve, and their adversarial relationship. This clouds your entire worldview.
Ending it with a call to violence against Communists, a time-honored tradition amongst fascists. In context, Anansi was projecting their own tendencies towards authoritarianism and fascism on the antifascist Communists. Shocker!
He is a disgrace to the name 'Anansi' frankly. I hope that's a white frenchman; because if there's even a lick of melanin on them? Here's what I see:
Standard frog, or comprador? A mystery for the ages. Would be fitting for the French to steal from the Akan people, as the British did.
My bet always sides on the latter there; nazi collaboration is in their blood.
I'm an American but every time I speak about decolonization people look at me like I just ate their baby in front of them. would rather side against victims of settler-colonialism and perpetuate the bloodthirsty cycle of parasitic violence than dare take a peak beyond the curtain to see where their spoils came from. The French are no different with this regard.
Even if they do see it, they then try to rationalize it and justify it. Just racism the whole way down.

I like how you called them Temu Pinochet, maybe that should be their official nickname so we won't be sullying the name Anansi any further by associating it with them.
I'm down with it
These gentlemen think that because they have changed the name of things, that they have changed things
