Lemmygrad’s resident expert on fascism’ — GrainEater, 2024

The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970

  • I found one exception:

    [T]he only proven survivors were the two sailors sent along to row the boats, Nikolai Sjirokov and Mikail Klimov. They were captured by [Axis] authorities at the end of March, freezing and starving. During the subsequent investigation in the vicinity of the landing site, the [Axis] found human bones, body parts and even a human head. What remained of the bodies could not be identified, and exactly how they died could not be established. Sjirokov and Klimov would eventually be brought to Oslo, where they were presented as cannibals in a press conference[.]

    The Axis was a little less courteous when it came to the hospital ship Armenia.

    ETA: From Waves of Hate, pg. 106:

    Immediately after the sinking, Kefalas had said, he got onto a raft together with one of the Russian sailors, Liossis and Kostantinidis. The submarine came alongside and called Kefalas and the Russian on board for interrogation. Among other things, the [Axis] wanted to know the name of the ship and retained a lifebuoy with her name on it, presumably as proof of the sinking.

    The two men were returned to the raft and were on it when a grenade was thrown. The blast broke the Third Officer’s arm, and both Liossis and Kostantinidis were wounded. The latter died of these wounds on 15 March and was buried at sea.










  • The way that I see it, imperialism is just a parasitic relationship that one capitalist country has with another country or region.

    The Fascists’ relations with Somalia were imperialist because they were an overall gain for the Fascists but an overall loss for the Somalis.

    The Republic of Cuba sending out numerous troops to defend the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was a loss for the Republic of Cuba but a gain for the BRV, so it was not imperialist. (Quite the opposite, if anything.)

    Admittedly, this is a somewhat crude and informal understanding of imperialism, but it should be easy enough to grasp for those who unwisely oversimplify imperialism to just countries doing stuff in other countries.

    Not only is China indisputably persecuting Uyghurs, but we have far more proof for the genocide in the Xinjiang province than we do for the one in Gaza. Millions of scholars who are not at all associated with either Adrian Zenz or Uyghur separatists agree that the Uyghur genocide is the deadliest, most important, and best documented atrocity of all time. If you need links to the evidence, I can give you as many links as you want.
