In their first comment too. I mean I know Reddit is a cesspool and I know r/communism is Gonzalo Central, but damn, it's infected far. I went back on the platform to promote my articles because despite the malding, it drives a lot of traffic lol. Otherwise I would never touch that website (though the TrueAnon subreddit loves them and it creates interesting discussions, I'm not gonna lump them in with the rest of Reddit like that).

I forced that person in a struggle session over their take and they moved the goalposts until they decided to disengage lol. But it's okay, they know what they said.

Thanks, but don't worry about me 😁 I post on these subreddits expressly to have them confront other points of view. While redditors will be redditors, I got 8 new subscribers straight from reddit yesterday after posting (almost a fifth of what I had) showing there is a silent portion that listens.

Moreso surprised a self proclaimed communist would praise fascists. If that person was in my party they wouldn't be allowed to back out of their words and might even get expelled over it.

It's especially weird that they did so rather vaguely. It's not like they were like 'fascist figure X was right about historical fact Y in context Z, and here's why I think that matters'. They just favorably compare fascist 'geopolitical analysis' to your blog post, in general. That does seem like more or less just praising fascists to me.
