my take is that foreign policy differences won't matter until we have built more than 0.00000000001% of communism
and frankly anarchists are way better at local level shit than we are
i say this as an active member of a marxist-leninist party for the last 15 years
Smdh my dick head you'd think with all the fucking books the intellectual Marxists carry around they'd have the muscle to lob a brick once in a while. Put those arms to a better use in the present than jacking each other off about dreams of fighting anarchists in the future.
You'd think MLs would recognize the need to build a mass base but Western self-proclaimed ML parties tend to be like 4 people that alienate everyone around them or are PatSoc adjacent, lol. Not all of them by any means. PSL and some others do a better job, but none are really doing the work of building a mass base. There's some kind of inescapable drive to do weird out-of-touch shit, lol. They're all getting dunked on by DSA libs in that arena, lol.
I also have a great time organizing with several (not all, of course) orgs of various anarchist tendencies.
I come here out of love as someone that identifies with the ML tradition and keeps running headfirst into trying to get Western commies to actually organize.
Old Nicky got killed by Marxists, so you don't get to claim that.
All violence isn't propaganda of the deed - just purposeless, disorganized violence, done for no other purpose than to feel effective and ineffectively influence others to do the same. Anarchist violence, really.
What the shit is your problem? Seriously. You're making all of hexbear look bad with this childishness. Are you trying to wreck? Anyway, you get to be the first hexbearer we ban. Congratulations I guess, that'll give you more time to organise irl since online participation is haram. I was going to do 7 days originally in good faith but you're completely unhinged and your unban will probably never come.
having done extensive on the ground work, irl anarchists are nothing like internet anarchists in my experience
the worst you will get as an ML is a snide comment or a weird look, which if that bothers you, you are not suited to organizing
and frankly "supporting" china has no material impact whatsoever, and implies a very "posting is praxis" western marxist worldview
Supporting China in the form of creating anti-cold war coalitions can have a material impact. It can at least delay and disrupt the imperial machine while they figure out how to pass laws so that calling a Congressperson a loser now earns someone prison time, etc.
Also a great way to expose people to the police reaction that will occur when you organize anything in this vein of any importance. Gotta keep innoculating more and more people so that we don't get easily murdered when cool zones hit.
The imperial war machine is constantly lobbying for its interests and against sentiments that may disrupt its aims. It is virtually always successful on the national stage, but local organizing can and has massively disrupted supply chains and manufacturing centers. This is why a lot of environmentalism actions are now criminal, even treated as terrorism: they did and do actually force a response, and that sucks away resources from the top in a lose-lose material exchange but with the benefit of innoculating the public from the notion that things are going well, that those companies are on their side, etc. It also teaches your org members that there is no bottom to the depravity to which capital will respond to disruption. Gotta plan accordingly to ensure actions have informed consent, of course - and a clear-eyed goal.
Anyways, the war machine lobbies because they do actually perceive a need to "grease the wheels" to get things going. They don't throw money at think tanks and Senators and PR campaigns for nothing. And that can be undermined with several aforementioned benefits.
And no, I agree, most Americans are confused and easily led into fashy thinking and frothing for genocide. The actions I'm talking about don't have naive goals like, "we will convince everyone to oppose US imperialism on principle". Innoculation can be as simple as being tear gas seeping in your window while the cops beat protesters. The liberal inside may not join the protesters (yet), but they do see the lopsided reaction and a few gears start to turn.
These are the kinds of things we use to peel away libs person by person to build power. Especially younger people.
my point is that it doesn't matter at all
we are barely past the starting gun of communism
the generations before us (in the west) got complacent and dropped the fucking ball
at this moment, having anarchists as allies can only benefit the working class, they have better support networks, making a real difference to people's lives on the ground
we can deal with our differences when we aren't completely outnumbered and outgunned by the overt fascists who are trying to kill us, and the movement dead
and make no mistake, i will probably be in my sixties by the time that fucking happens, and you in your forties
it's 4am for me dipshit, you expect me to be organizing when everyone is asleep?
holy shit you fuckers are a complete joke
make a play at me being a furry next, that'll play well with the reactionaries you're deperate to tailism into joining our side
i'm literally trans you fucking shitbag
or do you not recognise the flag in my god damn avatar
i'm also poor as shit, but you don't care about that do you?
it's all fucking national essentialism to your kind
i'm literally trans you fucking shitbag
or do you not recognise the flag in my god damn avatar
Sorry, not as familiar with that flag. I didn't mean to offend in that way.
I don't think it's fair for you to critique organizing efforts in the U$ as scathingly as you have given the deficiencies in the UK movement. If there's a better way to phrase that, I'm happy to edit or change it.
i'm also poor as shit, but you don't care about that do you?
I'd very much like to point out that you're free with excuses for yourself, but basically spat on me earlier saying I should go outside.
Are you the only one with valid reasons?
it's all fucking national essentialism to your kind.
I can't tell China, or the UK, how to pursue their revolution, because I don't know the conditions there. You can't tell me, because you don't know.
We're clear that this is throwing stones from a glass house, right?
The UK and the U$ are intermingled in the same gross colonial-imperial mess. You being from the country that starved Inda isn't better than me being from the U$ with it's myriad crimes.
I do not give the tiniest shit about what you think about anything.
I know, that's why you ducked my points earlier. You're more interested in throwing insults than anything else.
my party is meh tbh, but better than having no party at all, larper
i also do work with mutual aid orgs that, you know, actually help people, as opposed to sniffing their own farts about foreign policy they will never be in a position to materially impact in any way.
And I've donated to local food bank charities, glad to see we're on the same page.
I dunno I think dismissively quoting 19th century political philosophical divisions in response to someone pointing to the importance of real-world on the ground mass organizing is firmly in the realm of idealism.
The science of revolution requires a grounding in the conditions of the working class and an aptitude for organizing a mass base. Many anarchists are far ahead of many Western MLs in this respect, as being a Western ML is unfortunately often treated more like an identity or club rather than an activity or life dedication or science.
Whether they're all-in on China or think that Xi is the anti-Christ, the end result is exactly the same: absolutely nothing whatsoever. There isn't a local left, much less a national left; certainly there isn't anything that anybody could seriously call an international movement. The opinions of random westerners mean absolutely nothing to the CCP. Fixating on what we have zero influence over is wholly unproductive.
Maybe in 20 years we'll have cobbled together a movement that Beijing thinks is even worth offering a nod to, but right now we're a bit too irrelevant to worry about our place on the global stage.

Propaganda of the deed was disproven by like 1910
Propaganda of the deez?
Also "eww no physical violence is so 1910" ah yeah that explains why the Russians rolled over for Tsar Nicholas for so long
Oh wait no he got owned
Old Nicky got killed by Marxists, so you don't get to claim that.

Bro you don't go stolen valoring the Russian revolution. I'm begging you to take your dick out of your hand and put a gun in it instead. And organize.
Propaganda of the deed, but with a weird sexual obsession
Yes this is literally my fetish
That's gross, I don't consent to whatever your thing is here.
I get it, it feels cute to try and deflect with humor when you're wrong, but it's an old joke, and you're not in Hexbear.
suck your mum larper

since when has the us imperial war machine gave the tiniest shit about what the people think?
and even if they did, the average american sees everyone outside of america as subhuman and worthy of scorn, you think they would oppose a war?

It is for you. What url are you on?
You'd only get banned for being an asshole, is that a win for you?
