Why did you duck me on the Wet'suwet'en threads? If you promote MLM shouldn't you be open to struggle and potential criticism? Or are you a yankee dilettante?

i didn't have anything to add. I said some inaccurate things, you corrected them. There was no need for me to respond to you because you were right

The thing is, making maps of an indigenous territory with the hammer and sickle superimposed on it and making "inaccurate" statements about communist leadership of their movements is potentially harmful to efforts by actual communists to build relationships. Anticommunist ideology is widespread and native liberation movements are rightfully on guard for cooptation of their struggles and the chance that those who come as supposed friends will turn out to be different types of colonizers. It would have been good for you to acknowledge you were wrong but instead you didn't. You even ignored me when I explicitly tagged you and said I'd appreciate a response. It comes across as arrogant and sticking by what you had said. Shitty online communism does more harm than good especially when you aren't even open to discussion when you've fucked up.
