Not to defend cryptagion, but for added context, his claim is that he thought those were just Red Army deaths. Using this, though, the most charitable reading of his comment, we still see the following:
The millions of civilians that joined the Red Army to defend their homes and family from genocidal onslaught deserved it
The tortorous methods by which the Nazis executed prisoners was justified, because the victims were communists
The mass starvation inflicted on the soviets by the Nazis taking Ukraine, the USSR’s breadbasket, was justified because the Red Army retook Ukraine
And more. Harboring someone and protecting his mod powers in the name of “anarchist critique of the soviets” is just Holocaust trivialization, full-stop, and makes anarchists seem like Holocaust trivializers in general if this is what passes as “anarchist critique.”
dbzer0 has a lot of cool people, and some extremely terrible people that seem to be tolerated for their utility in attacking communists, to prevent dbzer0 from ever having a communist majority.
