This community got hijacked by liberals 😔
Just saw which instance this was. Apologies, I’ll take my anarchist self elsewhere.
Respect. Although I’m curious what problem you as an anarchist would have with calling democrats blue maga lol
Oh, they’re absolutely shit (even the furthest left of them) but, the system is rigged with FPTP and other “features” to give us either a neoliberal party or a fascist party. Neither is a good choice though I find equating them to be a false equivalency. My personal ethics require that I take what action that I can to reduce harm, especially to those must vulnerable and historically oppressed. Data shows anti-electoralism and third parties in FPTP to be functionally equivalent to voting for fascists, so, garbage neoliberals who at least aren’t trying to string up trans people while robbing the working class is my option.
I agree, although I would also argue that in the specific case of the US, the situation is a bit more drastic since in most (specially oppressed countries) the liberals/moderate fascists/national bourgeoisie have a somewhat “revolutionary” role since they generally oppose the international bourgeoisie and do win some concessions for the working class, as you mention, or help with industrialisation and so on. In the case of the US, though, both parties represent the international bourgeoisie, and the international political agenda of both countries is essentially the same, interventionism, imperialism, economic blockades, and so on, so the difference is radically different in that the number of concessions the liberals/moderate fascists can give the working class, specially the working class of oppressed countries, is much smaller than in other places. I too critically support the left wing liberals in my country because the option is total deindustrialisation and selling everything to the lowest bidder otherwise, so I totally get your point but wanted to make a small distinction.
By the way, I don’t know if you’ve heard of Hexbear, they’re a pan-leftists instance who will be federating with us and a couple of other instances by the end of the month luckily, they have a pretty active anarchist community so you might have a better time there than on a general purpose liberal instance.
So I’m guessing this instance is infested with MAGAts? Good to know; I’ll grab my bug spray.
Nope. Marxist-Leninists. We agree on some things, disagree on others, sometimes rather vehemently. Rather than stir up unnecessary internet drama, I edited my comment because I know that it’s something we’re unlikely to come to any agreement on. Plus, it’s their meme community - nothing positive for anyone to gain in bickering here.
no like seriously shout out to you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen an anarchist come in here on mistake and actually engage in good faith. Have you been to hexbear? it’s an instance you should check out if not, they’re a left unity instance, it is still mostly ML but the mods keep a tight grip on any sectarianism there
Hey, you are a fucking cool dude you know that? I know hexbear will more likely be your kind of space but with the very good comments you’ve made in this thread, I’ll say you are welcome here despite not being a Marxist–Leninist. Even if we will disagree on a lot of things xd
In that case, can you please explain how Marxism-Leninism leads to supporting Russia in the current war? Is Putin following Marx, Lenin, or any other socialist in any way?
LMAO at all the liberals from lemmy.world already upset at this meme in the comment section, just an hour after it was posted
Cope and seethe
You know what’s not cool, Jordan? Crying everytime someone says Marxist
Democrats will fight the hardest they have ever fought to avoid giving up their position as the polite, norms-respecting Republicans.
