      ^this "totalitarianism" is a CIA buzzword to try to put Nazism/Communism together and separate from the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that we commonly call "liberal democracy." The USA voted it's way to slavery and genocide which sounds pretty fucking totalitarian to me

      I´d agree, except for the part where they strawmaned Anarchism as not anti-capitalist. Like holy fuck, of course Anarchists oppose the accumulation of capital and want the abolishment of private property. I guess the commenters name is at least fitting as Lenin never had a good take on Anarchism either.

        Yeah, I should've noted the anti-anarchist bent at the end there. It is /r/genzedong so my brain just filters that out at this point.
