They’re so wasteful. We have to save the climate and that means cutting this wasteful production

wants revenge and is willing to kill people just to satisfy that

Revenge is good and it is the right of colonized peoples to seek revenge for the atrocities the colonizers inflicted upon them.

Are we really going to Marxist critique a damn kids show for not killing the bad guy?

Sure, because we can have better stories. Iron Widow is a Young Adult novel that’s about fighting systemic oppression by brutally killing the bad guys.

Disclaimer I did enjoy Avatar quite a bit and that’s why the flaws rankle me so much. There’s a lot about it that’s good. I just wish it had committed harder to supporting revolutionary liberation then undermining its own framing by libbing it up.

Coming from the perspective of a former student who dealt with a lot of spoiled white racists: if one of your students punches the other for being racist to them, back up the student who was getting hate speech directed at them. I don’t think teachers can directly fix the problem, but it means a world of a difference to us if we’re supported when we defend ourselves as opposed to punished for it.

I still hate some of my old teachers for their complicity.

Yeah the political theater is just that-- theater. Aside from occasionally checking in to laugh/sob at how awful it all is, I’ll be devoting my energy to things that actually matter.

As for voting, I guess if something local pops up worth voting for I’ll vote in that. Nationally, the Democratic Party has shown its enthusiastic support for fascism and genocide so there’s nobody I can vote for except maybe Cornell West or whoever the Greens or the PSL run. The one thing I know is, I won’t vote for Biden or anyone like him. Arab and Muslim Americans are calling for a boycott of Biden, and it would be like breaking a picket line to vote for him, only 1000x worse becauase instead of exploitative work conditions it’s literal genocide.

Ok fair, yes. The issue of how to survive long term when there’s a hostile state threatening and surrounding you has genuinely been one of my biggest reservations about Anarchism as a whole and is why I come down in favor of having a state

Celebrating when our indigenous comrades suffer a setback in self-determination is not a good look. As MLs we should support their fight against Capital even if it doesn’t precisely follow doctrine. There’s much to be learned from Zapatismo.

The Zapatistas don’t even call themselves Anarchists or claim n Anarchist lineage. Don’t be smug against them just to own terminally online anarchists
