Communism killed over 100 million people in the 20th century.

Especially when literal Nazis are the one committing these crimes. Like, literally self declared white supremacists…

I just became a member of red ink. Let's show them our support! https://www.redinkri.org/
Edit: Where they go, we go.

We're just gonna gloss over the 50,000,000 he let starve to death for the "good of China"?

A hero to over a billion people

Was recently inside there. I appreciate history and charm but the inside of that building is decrepit as far as working office space goes. Not to mention the boxes of records stacked in the hallways around the main staircase has an aesthetic straight from an episode of Hoarders. Ancient IT systems. You’d think with Providence’s outrageous property taxes they could clean the place up and modernize things.

I’m assuming the homophobic term was erased because the brick thrower realized that use of the term could turn this from a vandalism charge to a hate crime.
So they bought two bricks. Seriously - brand new bricks (actually, Holland concrete pavers sold by HD). And bought two, or else why erase the message and not just start over. And of course, the day is important, so they can’t just buy another brick tomorrow.
So they planned this out, poorly, had the clarity of mind to take action to reduce the severity of potential charges, planned it for a day that is very significant to the store and surely was at the front of their mind, and still went forward with the act? Pretty brazen - I hope the cops track down footage from the area and local HDs that sold 2 pavers and can piece this together.

This is actually super atypical for the area until maybe now. Source: lived here for a decade in rentals.
Be warned, I've heard of one situation where someone is shown a better apartment and then (nameless company-- Not Samson) suddenly doesn't have that unit available/someone else rented it and they won't return your check or cashed your check and "want to show you what else they have." So do be careful with who you pay upfront.

Zedong was in the mid-twentieth century, and communism has killed no less than 5x the number of people as Nasis/Fascism. Do some reading for yourself and learn which ideology has produced the higher body count.

Are we going to finally start talking about how the people who likely did this are headquartered in Massachusetts and start asking what is that state doing about this? NSC attacks libraries in both states and may even be part of the terrorizing of Boston Children's Hospital.

Bigots are feeling emboldened due to the political climate since 2016 and realizing that there aren't any consequences.
Groups like the Nationalist Social Club (who have been targeting Red Ink and posting their flyers all over Providence in the last year) literally just have people traveling around New England, posting their recruitment flyers, and stirring up trouble knowing they can get out of town before there's consequences.

Putting communism and nazis on the same level is really telling. Big yikes, bud

The "evil" communists at Red Ink don't do anything but community focused activism, Dungeons and Dragons, local band shows, and are a public library.
SO TERRIBLE

Fuck communists and their ideology every bit as hard as those hateful fucking Nazi douche bags. Let ANY of either of those ideologies flourish and before you know it we're making a "great leap forward" or staring down the barrel of genocide.

Yes, because nazis espousing the murder of many groups of people and threatening bodily harm are EXACTLY the same than some nerds reading Capital.

A name you'll undoubtedly drop to defend a false correlation between economic systems and likelihood to commit crimes against humanity.
