    i don't deny that we anarchists cope and seethe about the Black Book nonsense, but I think this counter only works in meme form. in real life, communist militant capacity is negligible compared to the state, and the solution internet marxists seem to have found is projecting onto the Chinese national project.

    it's understandable, but manifests a problem that all radicals have, which is that our mouths write checks that our fists can't cash.

      Agreed, which is why that's my online response only and in person I stick to more leading questions that get people to acknowledge the contradictions

            no dialectics means it's a dialogue between two contradictory positions that ultimately results in an agreed upon new position

    Nah this is very sectarian and also just stupid.

    Western tankies you have no fucking revolution for anarchists to betray

    Anarchists have nothing to fear from people who have zero power and any assumption that these past historical beefs will inevitably play out exactly the same way as they did 100 years ago is non materialist and defeatist bullshit.

        Okay well it's still a dumb meme even in that context because it is unclear and also probably made by some white western teenager that thinks the act of defiantly hanging a Juche flag in their bedroom is revolutionary praxis against their capitalist pig parents.

            I agree and that was not the point I was trying to make.

            I was just pointing out that acting like Stalin is in charge and making pronouncements like you have a state when you merely want one is ridiculous.

    Communism did not kill 100 million people, and this meme is psychopathic. If it did kill that many people, it wouldn't be worth following. Communism is not a death cult.

      Look we all know Communism did not kill 100 million people and that the black book is nazi garbage, but you aren't going to convince nato freaks of anything. All you can do when confronted by one is to just say "Yes :gigachad-hd:, 100 million nazis" and move on

        That doesn't make you look like a chad, it makes you look actually evil. Memes aren't real life. IMO, It's better to use the truth- that socialist countries have uplifted the lives and raised the standard of living most places it's been tried.

            yeah, but you know that 100 million is a ludicrous number. It's also ludicrous to affirm that everyone who died in a socialist country was literally murdered by communists.

              "Look we all know Communism did not kill 100 million people and that the black book is nazi garbage, but you aren’t going to convince nato freaks of anything. "

              Did you even read my comment? You cant affirm anything to anti-communists, they already believe we are evil. When you correctly identify those killed by the USSR were fascist dogs you flip the script on them. The number is irrelevant, everyone knows it's made up fascist propoganda, swap it for "Eleventy gorillion" if you're so inclined.

                I think it's a mistake to believe that everyone who believes the narratives they've been told all their lives is unsalvagable, so you might as well play act as an anime villain to them. That's not how building a mass movement works. Countering lies with the truth does work sometimes, even if it can be difficult and frustrating.

          Libs think anyone who doesn't support unlimited genocide of the third world is evil, not looking evil to them was never on the table

          as my mom always used to say it's not big and it's not clever

          chad memes are not a good model of how to behave and talk to people in real life. And it's silly to play along with a lie rather than tell the truth

            I agree. "And you're next" is only useful when you're in a situation where you're throwing insults at eachother and why would you want to be in that situation in the first place.

          In most real life situations the best answer is a boring two-pronged one of "1. Where did you get that number from? 2. Communist government lifted countless hundreds of millions out of abject poverty and turned miserable backwards hell-holes like Russia and China into modern industrialised superpowers."

      Nah OP deserves to get dunked on for posting a meme that could have very well been made by a literal Nazi.

      The meme assumes you accept the premise that communists killed 100 million people and is dunking on strawman anarchist for debunking that fact.

    • Nakoichi [they/them]

      Also accepting the premise that communists killed 100 million people is just Nazi shit. OP should be ashamed.
