Twitter thread continued:
Sometimes people will say "You made me an anarchist" and like... buddy, I don't even think it matters that I myself am an anarchist.
And I regret that that sort of "we're fighting the good fight" mentality has allowed some of the worst grifters on the platform to flourish by manipulating people's passions for their own weird petty reasons.
I think what I do has a lot of value, I'm just saying that what I perceive that value to BE is a lot different than what I thought a few years ago.
To be fair I'm pretty sure Breht from refleft is actually involved in leftist orgs, and I think that his show has gotten more people to get involved in orgs. Something I think needs talking about more is that when communist ideas exist in your head but not in your actions or relationship with your community then you aren't a communist, just a class conscious worker, being a communist should mean more than convincing people of this or that tenet of Marxism on the internet, but being an anarchist is not the same. If your anarchism exists only in your head it's just as valid as any anarchism because it's individualist , and freeing your own mind is the extent of its liberation.
Breht is one of those 'on-the-cusp' guys. Definitely better than basically everybody else. Shame that I enjoy Chapo, TF and the Deprogram more as shows, but Breht is the most directly involved with actual political organizing.
