I used to assume this was just common leftist sense, but it seems I was mistaken, :the-more-you-know: so I'm posting this.

Fuck nazbols, no matter what LARPing they do and no matter how much they claim to be leftists. :sus-soviet:

I don't just mean one particular self-styled professional organizer that's likely currently working on their 5th "not an alt" alt account to continue sending me manifestos about how the "strong" (conveniently, and to their sick pleasure as a spectator) will surely crush the "weak" (presumably anyone that doesn't agree with them) and that "the mentally ill" (defined as anyone they don't like) must be despised, you know, for leftism. :silver-legion:

Both online and offline I don't recognize, accept, or tolerate any form of leftism that isn't intersectional and inclusive. By extension, because of the paradox of tolerance, that also means that nazbols can fuck right off. Any sort of so-called "leftist" future they dream of, where they jerk themselves off with self-serving power fantasies that exclude what they call the weak while goosestepping in Soviet military cosplay is not a future I want for myself or anyone I care about. :nyet:

It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway, that any organizing attempt that excludes "the mentally ill" as the aforementioned nazbol put it, or LGBTQIA+ people, or does any bigoted wrecker ideology under pretense of "removing divisiveness" :lmayo: :us-foreign-policy: can also fuck right off.

One more thing: "organize or die" becomes a destructive slogan if it is twisted into the nazbol belief that "the weak" must be ostracized for the sake of organization. Nothing of value will be organized if the organizers are grandiose hateful selfish assholes. :disgost:

Nazbols fuck off. :pit:

Edit: Removed some unintentionally ableist terms. The message is the same, and truly they weren't needed anyway.

    just curios but if your organizing is intersectional and includes "the mentally ill" and disabled, why make a post riddled with ableist slurs? as a disabled leftist, i keep seeing folks call themselves allies but wont change their language, make protests accessible, or even wear masks. i hope i dont get hate for pointing this out. we want to be included but if youre fighting for liberation and still use harmful language about us, are we really included? i hope you'll do better.

        I think they're referring to "stupid" and "idiocy", both of which are commonly identified by ND comrades as ableist terms.

        Unfortunately, they're so baked into our vernacular (same with "dumb", "moron", etc) that getting people to stop using them is difficult in the best of times. Even well-meaning comrades will use these terms without even thinking about it sometimes. But intersectionality means putting in the basic effort to change your language when it's harmful to your comrades and foster true solidarity, which is joanna's point.

          I think it's worth trying.

          I'll edit those terms out of the main post here.

            that's not how that works. how are you a leftist and defending the use of these words? do you use the nword against Black folks you hate? why is it so hard to use different words? why wont you include disabled people in your fight for liberation? youre just a liberal making liberal excuses because you dont really care or fight for liberation. you are the people you claim to hate. hope you have the day you deserve liberal

      I do apologize for using those terms that were pointed out in your later comment. I will strive to use less offensive language when describing willingly and deliberately bigoted people.
