If you are a communist, how do you identify yourself?

[Kibbutz Unions]

Ummmmmmmmm.... No.
Did communists ever use gas chambers? Ovens? Death Marches? Did Communists start a World War?
The majority of the people who died were either because of the civil wars between the Red and White forces (Such as in Russia and China) but blaming it entirely on the Reds is intellectually dishonest, others died in the rapid industrialization- but it was exactly that- for some while the allocation of resources failed because they were still in feudal countries, but after that basically nobody died from another famine and the situation became much better, but basically if there would have been a revolution right now outside your window no rapid industrialization would be needed- no deaths from that.
No group was targeted for any of their identities, nor was there any systematic slaughter. Stalin killed off opponents in his purges but this is a trait of dictators so it's pretty stupid to blame it on the ideology of communism.

Um the USSR definitely had death marches. The Polish can tell you that much.

How do you relate anarchism with Trotskyism?

Yes but left wing nationalism is real and an integral part of the communist movement.

Socialist patriotism: It is not about an ethnic/nationalist form but being proud in Socialism.

It's basically a form of nationalism. Ethnic nationalism isn't the only nationalism.

Brotherhood and unity: Actually it is a slogan that basically said that although there are different groups in Yugoslavia they are all united together in spite of the differences

Yes, pan-nationalism.

Rojava: Actually: "Like the KCK umbrella in general, and even more so, the PYD attempts to denounce the ideology of nationalism,[196] including Kurdish nationalism. They stand in stark contrast to Kurdish nationalist visions of the Iraqi Kurdish KDP sponsored Kurdish National Council in Syria.[197]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rojava#Kurdish_question

They've got this great gig where they're nationalists but also not at the same time. I really admire it tbh

Yup there's cultural, civic, and religious nationalism just to name a few

That was terrible, but this is not at all comparable with the crimes of Nazism and Fascism (And even just regular 'ol Mercantilism and Capitalism).

Well, I was talking about the ethnic kind of nationalism, I thought it was obvious.
It wasn't even really pan-slavic nationalism or anything, it included non-Slavic groups such as Jews...
About Rojava, at least officially they're not Kurdish nationalists, though I'm sure a lot of it's members are regardless of official policy.

Religious nationalism? You mean fundamentalism?

Religious nationalism is basically thinking that a religious group should have their own country.

So..... Fundamentalism, as state law.

No. Thinking that a religious group should have a country where they are independent. Like Bosnia for Muslim Serbs.

They're literally Serbs who converted to Islam during the Ottoman period.

They have been a distinct group since the 15th century. They have their own language, culture etc.

Also, according to that the Dutch are still German because they were originally part of the Germanic people.

Bosnian is just a dialect of Serbo-Croat. Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian are all just regional dialects of the same language, they are mutually intelligible, like Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarussian.

I said it was terrible, but I don't think that it is very fair to blame an economic platform for that.

It's one of many. Communism has a track record of mass death. China's Great Leap Forward? If you can blame death on capitalism then we can do the same for communism
