Y’all are the dorks writing novels instead of touching grass and organizing people in person.

Pushing people to the brink of homelessness is violence. We’re overdue to fight back.

I’ve said multiple times I’m not interested and you continue to bombard me with theory. I’m not reading it and I don’t care. Go mansplain leftism to someone else.

Marxists ain’t gonna do shit in the US.

I think of Maos Cultural Revolution, or all the Korean civilians caught up in the Korean War murdered for being seen as “collaborators”

I’m not a fan of centralized state power, period. Any time there’s a lot of concentrated power there’s abuse of that power.

Your argument is “anarchism has yet to really happen therefore it can’t”. My argument is “authoritarian communism has been tried and failed and a whole lot of people suffered in the process”.

I don’t even want to argue, I find leftists who post long books of theory like what you just did to be completely insufferable. It’s so off putting to the general public.

Meanwhile, we have the Kurds practicing anarchism, we’ve got some anarcho syndicalism going on with the mondragon corp, they’re small examples but they’re good examples not full of controversy.

Anarchists have yet to murder millions, unlike communists who seem to need a state to become stateless

I don’t really wish to debate this. Marxism so far has involved centralized power. Centralized power is easy to manipulate and corrupt. Anarchism at its core is decentralized power. Not impossible to manipulate and corrupt but more difficult.

Most people want to be left alone with the fruits of their labor. Anarchism is more likely to accomplish this.

Marxism already proved itself corruptable.

Anarchist. I lean somewhere between anarcho communist and libertarian socialist. In the most basic sense, I’m suspicious of power because I believe power corrupts and no system of economics or government is immune to this.

Yeah, meanwhile the only actual tankies are the ones who cheerlead the USSR and PRC.

As an anti authoritarian, while I can see some redeeming qualities in those countries, overall I’m not a fan. Though I do love me some propaganda art from the time.

But then those athletes go down to sea level for a competition and have an advantage

Oh yeah, it near perfectly captures where the mountains are. The green areas are mountains and cities. NH is interesting, the darkest part is where the ski areas are, the lighter part is the more populated area.

Today I learned….

Haha. What’s interesting is there’s other high country in the US but it’s not green in this map. Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho…

And with the exception of vermont and a small part of NY, most of the yellow in the northeast is low lying areas not very high above sea level. California has mountains too.

Oh yeah I forgot, also selling oil in any currency besides USD. That will get you some freedom! 🦅🦅🦅

High elevation makes the body work harder because there’s less oxygen. Elite athletes train in the high country for the effects.

Disagree, it’s if we find out about oil we need to liberate it

And if the people overthrew Hitler in 1933 would it be because they’re sore losers who lost? He went into power democratically elected. I think hindsight shows us that somebody should of tried to overthrow him to avoid all the horrible deaths caused by him.

Make no mistake. These christofascists will round up people like me. I’m a visibly queer woman and I can’t keep my mouth shut or try to feminize myself more to blend in. They’re gonna give me no choice but to defend myself. After reviewing history, I vote offense rather than defense this time around.

Oh my god, I’d have so much respect for them if they did that. They won’t. They’re going to gladly hand over power to fascists because taking the high road is always the right thing to do to liberals. That and tone policing anyone who suggests something stronger than marching around with signs ineffectually.

Don’t forget being called a tankie for daring to rightfully criticize the democrats for being the frauds they are.

Oh yeah. They’ve got their class interests to protect which is why they do absolutely nothing for us. Remember they’re gonna hand over power to fascists because politeness and protecting institutions matters more to them then fighting for the minorities they’ve manipulated for decades. They don’t give a fuck about us.

I’m not saying I support it, I’m saying that’s what’s going to happen. We’ve had numerous options for off ramps from this hot mess but the democrats block any kind of left wing legislation and improvement of people’s lives. They’re frauds who protect their class interests above all else. They’re not gonna do shit about fascism.
