I don’t disagree in theory, but these same people’s kids were tortured murdered by the Tsar’s army for resisting conscription (I’m not searching through an entire Tolstoy book for a citation) so there’s kind of something to it.

So, for those keeping score, in the last day or so, this thread has advocated (a) lynch mobs and (b) murdering the Amish.

Guess it's the right thread for it.

How does this theory square with Native American land ownership? The real answer is obviously "nuance" but you brought this up in the context of the Amish getting murdered

You mean reserves? In the cases I'm familiar with, a band member may own a house, but the land it's on belongs to the tribe. Tribes are groups which claim not the right to privately own land, but to collectively govern themselves within a territory determined by historical occupation and use, was restricted and defined by treaties.

In the past, there was not conflict and agreements for ownership of territory, but rather use of specific resources within that territory. So a battle or negotiations might be engaged to secure the right to fish in a particular spot without being chased off by the those who already fish there.

Eh, ownership varied. Some cultures like the Hopi, had collective management of houses and fields under clans, others like the O'odham had corporate group field plots but collective water rights, and other groups in the Northwest Coast had straight up private property rights and you could be killed for picking camas bulbs or fishing in an area another group owned. Ancient Hohokam probably had some sort of Proudhonian possession sort of tenure system, while Chaco Canyon had priest-rulers controlling some of the means of production.

Turns out Native American cultural practices are extremely diverse, more so than like, the European Subcontinent. And that's not even getting into Mesoamerican and South American peoples, which is a whole other deal. But like, some groups very much did have territorial ownership and enforced it.

and of course by the time any Europeans saw any of this they were looking at the sub 10% of the original population that remained living in a Mad Max hellscape so in the vast majority of cases we really have no loving clue what things were like beforehand

Its extremely unfair that the kulak propaganda still persists but homosexuality being a counterrevolutionary fascist conspiracy doesnt even get the time of day anymore

one of the things that chafes me about the sanitization of stalin is that in a russian society in which homosexuality was decriminalized in 1917 after the october revolution, stalin recriminalized it as part of a political program to push people into nuclear families to produce more children. same reason he recriminalized abortion lol

Nobody in our time, post the turn of the millennium, who is a diehard Stalinist, wants the brutalization of LGBT people.

What they really want is the steadfast, ironfisted relentlessness to brutalize the crapitalist class.

And for that, I will accept any unifying figure that gives the people comfort to crush the cockroach crapitalist under their bootheel without an ounce of guilt as they crawl into bed at night. We should not forgive the bosses. The bosses should forgive us for forcing us to this untenable position.

Lots of Amish communities are super poor and we’re hitting a point where they’re having to accept more and more modernization in order to survive at all

In plenty of communities families can barely afford shoes so women end up shoeless because why would they need them

If the tankies thread is any indication a shitload of Stalinists (and tankies in general) are just fundamentalist Christians with different trappings.

Honestly happens a lot and is a common issue with progressives and even feminists; changing the names and themes of their ideology without actually changing the beliefs, tenets and prejudices.

If you're not an Expanse superfan, ah well, the end of the second episode of the second season is the gritty noir space detective played by Thomas Jane of Punisher fame is blowing the brains of the genius super-scientist out before he can fully convince the chaotic neutral main characters from signing onto his horrible alien weapon science project.
