I’m simply asking this question because of Lemmygrad.ml existing, and that there isn’t a far-right equivalent of it yet. If Lemmygrad has any standing for its right to exist under free speech, where is the line drawn for other extremist political ideologies? If Holodomor skepticism is allowed, then what stops Holocaust skepticism? (as it is generally accepted the Holodomor was man-made). I’m simply wondering what gives far-left politics a right to promote such extremist views in the Fediverse, when their far-right counterparts would be Defederated in minutes.
I wasn’t really talking about lemmygrad, even though they have some VERY questionable defense of authoritarian policies. I have met far-leftists who were more than eager to call for the genocide of minorities under the guise of class revolution.
Personally, I draw the bar at the intolerance of other people regardless of whether that ideology is on the left or right. Hell, I’m sure there are some radical centrists who are extremely intolerant of [insert x people] as well.
I’m a leftist and consider myself moderately well-educated on the topic, but I don’t understand the connection between class revolution and genociding minorities.
Cambodian revolution is a perfect example of this. Killing of targeted minorities under the guise of class revolution.
Whenever someone advocates for violence against some group of people, it inevitably turns into some type of persecution thats colored by the prejudices of those in power and within the existing social norms.
Plenty of anti colonial militia groups turned against minority groups when they took power.
Genocidal people are always looking for ways to disguise their intentions.
