Don’t want the next leftist revolution to take notes from North Korea.

Fortunately, no. But leftists really need to band together internationally, not divide along Nationalist lines. Blaming people for their government is the kind of logic that is used to justify the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

What country is that

I don’t understand why people frame hiking challenges as conquering nature. It’s clearly conquering your own internal limitations, not anything external. But framing aside, challenging yourself is a great thing to do.

I find that if I just eat less, I start to feel sickly and unhealthy. I learned recently that when you lose weight, like 25% of it ends up being from muscle loss. Started lifting weights and eating extra protein while I diet, and it feels great, much easier. I feel energetic and healthy and the lack of food doesn’t bother me so much.

Ok the wild thing is when I open this website in my Lemmy app it doesn’t display most of the text… There is a white background instead of black, so the white text doesn’t display.

I have successfully plugged my android into an Ethernet-usbc adapter, yes. A special Ethernet icon actually pops up in my icon bar when it’s using that connection.

I don’t know, can you make them out?

I visited a 17,000 year old cave painting site in France, and the whole walk into the cave there are modern day graffiti signatures like “Bob, 1992” etc. but then you start to notice that the years go back further and further…1827…1761…1597. Then you get to the old cave art and it kind of feels like a continuation of the same shit, just some people leaving their scribbles on a rock like they have been probably since they discovered how to do it.

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?

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.
