Oh, because of the flag I thought this was a satire of anarcho-communism, since commie states massacred anarchists
I think it is? The only other ideology would be anarcho-capitalism (lol), but a star on a gear as symbology would seem to preclude that. All in, it's not a very coherent comic.
I thought the obvious subject was National Socialism. The OP uses orange for fascists in their comics.
That would make perfect sense if it wasn't for the signs pointing in other directions: The star on a gear is very reminiscent of communist imagery, the green/orange flag is a reskin of the anarcho-communist flag (yes, there are other variants for other kinds of anarchist, but they're even less relevant than anarcho-communists), and the naming format (greenist-orangeite) is more reminiscent of "anarcho-communist" than the Nazi formulation of "National Socialist" or the anarcho-nazi formulation of "National Anarchist." I can only see this being about communists and anarcho-communists from a disgruntled anarchist of some type. Perhaps a solarpunk guy.
The symbolism gave me the same impression (and I was going to argue something about anarcho-communism having nothing to do with bolshevik bullshit), but then I checked the site and the author uses orange for fascism and has positive stuff about communism.
Fair enough, then
The "communism" in anarcho-communism much predates these states.
Anarchists massacre themselves more than communists massacre them by enabling fascists in power, see my homeland Spain in the Spanish civil war. I wish we had had communists instead of Anarchists...
Not sure if a troll or just incredible brainwashed... try to pick a history book some time, because in Spain you had communists, and they LITERALLY decided to fight the anarchists instead of the fascists. The bolsheviks simply decided to outlaw all Spanish socialist organizations (it wasn't the other way around) and sabotaged the antifascist resistance, and it's the anarchists that enabled the fascists!? Fuck off mate.
I was used to commies saying the Nazis were going to kill the anarchists in Ukraine eventually anyway, so there was nothing wrong with the Red Army killing them first (after selling them to the Germans in exchange of a train ticket), but this stupid and shameful historical revisionism about the Spanish civil war is new to me, what a fucking deranged cult those tankies.
ps: Don't bother coming back with walls of text. Not gonna read nor reply.
This is one of those widely repeated things that coincidentally is never backed up by any numerical evidence whatsoever. Bolsheviks, per modern historical analysis, killed a total of less than 20 anarchists in the entire Spanish Civil War, and at least some of those because a spy in Nazi Germany called Harro Schulze-Boysen confirmed a Nazi plot to generate an anarchist insurrection in Barcelona to weaken the Republic's defenses. You tell me to read a book: well, point me towards a historiographical analysis of the Spanish Civil War pointing out NUMERICALLY HOW MANY anarchists were actually repressed by the communists.
Then simply tell me: which book can I read that details a numerical analysis of this repression, because I've asked several anarchists and never got a response.
