Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn’t been registering domains since Jan 1.
It’s seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.
They are the best example of why left unity is bullshit. Tankies are okay with literal fascism as long as it doesn’t involve a western country.
That is mighty wrong.
I’m all about left unity. If someone makes excuses for authoritarian governments, they’re not on the left. If they disagree with black lives matter, they’re not on the left. If they’re transphobic, they’re not on the left. We leftists need to stick together and protect the most marginalised members of our community, by kicking fascists and bigots out. That’s what left unity means. Good old paradox of tolerance.
Just because someone’s beliefs don’t align with yours doesn’t mean they “aren’t on the left”.
Leftism isn’t a catch all for good people.
In fact many anarchists became disillusioned with the idea of “the left”, hence post-leftism.

Congratulations, you have deduced that the “political compass” is nonsense
Just because it’s authoritarian doesn’t mean it’s fascist. The USSR murdered millions, and was an authoritarian shithole, but that doesn’t mean it was fascist. It was communist. Fascism is terrible, but so are other forms of authoritarianism.

The “a capitalist economy” bit is the very important distinction. Communist states share most or all of the other traits with fascism. But so do Feudal countries with merchantilist economies, modern dictatorships without government-driven economy, and all other strongly authoritarian systems eventually.
