Just imaging the folks going into such a bar
I sometimes go to a place that has Marxist symbols, doesn’t mean I’m a tankie. It’s just a nice place with chill people.
Does Marxist imply tankie? I was under the impression that some Leninism was needed for that.
Edit: yep. Marxists are not tankies
It’s 2026, everyone is either a Zionist, anti-semite, tankie, racist, misogynist or homophobe.
Let’s just say people see Marx and Engels and immediately jump to Stalinism.
It always amuse me how people think that just because someone go to a certain place then he should be a supporter of whatever the place represented in the past (for the present I might somewhat agree but still seems stupid most of the time).
Following your reasoning, we should demolish basically everything in Europe, almost everything could be linked to some not so nice past period or event.
No, but if you go to a fascist fan café, people will think that you are a fan of fascists. And there is a difference between historical monuments and businesses catering to fascists
Because it’s not a ban on private display. Bars don’t belong to the state, they can do whatever they want.
That’s not what the private part is about: it means private spaces, not privately-owned or -operated places.
Private place means your living room. A bar anyone can enter is a public place. An office all kinds of people work at but is not open to everyone is also not a private place. See what I mean?
Alright, the ban is on the administration, not on individuals. This is not a courtroom and it was clear from the context.
