    Looked at the comments and there's an anarchist shit talking Cuba and Nicaragua. I already spent yesterday railing against NATO leftists and spent today arguing with Guatemalan nationalists through a Whatsapp group chat.

    I'll just say that the DSA International Committee was based and shouldn't have been suspended.

      there’s an anarchist shit talking Cuba and Nicaragua.

      "anarchist".

      I am once again asking people to stop taking these dumb fucks as representatives of anarchism.

      That's like if I were to dunk on Haz and use him as a representative of all MLs.

      Just stop.

          First of all "sub" lol :reddit-logo:

          Second of all, most of the time someone posts stuff like what I replied to it's the most asinine lib brain shit imaginable being pegged to anarchism and usually has little to do with an actual anarchist critique of a state.

              Okay but the op was extremely vague and this just comes off as someone trying to shit on anarchism, your post included.

              I'm not calling anyone fake anarchist I am saying that unless you have a specific issue with a take, just saying "I saw anarchists talking shit" comes off as needless sectarianism.

              What "anarchist" what "shit" are they talking? Like without defining either of those two things it's just mindless sectarianism.

            I used to subscribe to the anarchist line but the more i thought about how states were criticised there wasnt a whole lot of substance there compared to the utility a functional state brings to the implementation of communism . Couple that with how often self proclaimed leftists who are either just calling themselves leftists or anarchists habitually and non-productively jeer at socialism that has actually existed and/or still exists and i am now fully with the ML tendency from delving down the theory rabbit hole. Not to say any of it actually matters until well into things getting hot in a revolution-shaped fashion, but it's painful seeing good hearted people not being principled about their ideology

      I like the one who thought Raul is still the president of Cuba. Like dude if you're going to talk shit at least do the bare minimum of research.
