    More like Galileo.

    Sorry to break it to all the boomers and redditors, but shouting "Blasphemy! BLASPHEMY!" is hardly an effective way to convince me that my critique of the private sector is flawed.

    If communism is so wrong of an ideology, why was there so much more military force to oppose it as an idea? The US never went to war with nazi Germany, we went to war when we got attacked, and fascism actually is a wrong ideology.

        If communism doesn't work why did we need like 4,000 nuclear missiles, 10 aircraft carriers, a six hundred ship navy, space lasers, thousands of fighters, and the united states marine corps to fight it?

          yep and it's one of the easier ones to explain. the only rebuttal you can get is some unhinged shit like "the communists were trying to conquer the world" or "defending western civilization/Christianity/etc". anyone who considers themselves "reasonable" only needs to think about it for a bit or even better just show them stuff from the soviet archives before their brain starts short circuiting

      Lol anarchists exist here, on your leftist unity website. Don't judge us all based on libs using the anarchist aesthetic.

          If 75% of anarchists you encounter are libs pretending then either you have impossible standards for what you consider real anarchists or you need to get off the timeline and spend more time in actual orgs.

          Anarchists have been the dominant tendency in everything from climate orgs, to anti-eviction and housing groups, to active antifa comrades in my experience.

          Love my anarchist comrades. :left-unity-4: Plenty out here getting the goods while some fellow commies I know have been stuck in their bookshelves for ten years.

            As extremely online individuals, we're all at risk of mistaking "internet anarchists" for real anarchists and should be more diligent about shielding our minds from the deep terrors of Twitter.

      Twitter anarchists aren't rl anarchists. There are also rl anarchists that are idiots, but not at a noticably higher level than communists

              I mean this guy doesn’t but most of the ones besides him.

              The ones that post these shit takes are libs dressing themselves in an aesthetic you basically just answered your own question.

              Yes they do in the pre-Marxist sense at least, and while there are as ever substantial disagreements because leftists can't have nice things, honestly at the margins the more structured variants of Anarchism and Council Communism sort of fade into each other.

    Silly twitter person, everyone knows all politics is oriented on a cartesian plane. No spheres involved.

    It's amazing people think like this, because Marxism and dialectical materialism is literally the only way to make sense of the world lmao. How else do you make sense of things?? Idealism?

              You can't hold anarchists responsible for random other anarchists. I mean the marxists have "maga communism" and patsocs and whatever the trots are up too lately. It's not fair to blame someone for everything going on under the whole umbrella of their tendency. I bet you half the food not bombs groups out there are still anarchists.

                  Isn't that mostly confirmation bias tho? You're only seeing whichever anarkiddie takes are being shared by MLs, so you assume that's the typical anarchist. Same as anarchists convinced that all MLs are reactionary boot-lickers because people keep sharing Haz and his ilk. It's the outrage economy babay!

                It's funny you said "Marxists", meaning you've also included the Leninless left, making this umbrella absurdly comically large.

                  Well, isn't grouping all Anarchists together an absurd umbrella? You can't reasonably hold all Anarchists responsible for what one collective in Ukraine is doing. Even more the Marxists and MLs and MLMs Anarchism is made up of small idiosyncratic groups. They share goals and theory and organizing strategies but it's not like there's an Anarchist central command giving everyone marching orders.
