    You don't know shit about my political opinions

    Neither do you it seems. I'm going to assume a couple of things here, correct me if I'm wrong.

    • You live in a western country
    • you're no older than 25
    • you've never read any theory. No Engels, no Marx, no Lenin, no Luxembourg, nothing.
    • you spend a lot of time watching streamers. probably v*ush, which is the only one I've heard of so far and god do I wish I didn't.
    • your political and ideological views are pretty much a direct representation of the views of said streamers.
    • anything to the left of you, you consider 'wrongthink', and attempt to shut down your own learning process by calling everyone who says things you don't like a tankie.
    • you don't like tankies because they are 'authoritarian' but refuse to learn what the question of authority actually entails. I'll link Engels' 'On authority' so you can read that and see where we're coming from (https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm). There are also audiobooks because I'm assuming you won't read this either.
    • you can't spell 'bourgeoisie' without looking it up on the internet.

      • You believe that communists stabbed Makhnovia in the back

      • You believe that Makhnovia was an example of anarchist principals put into practice

      • You have no idea that the Makhnovists had a secret police, that they engaged in the summary execution of political rivals, and that committed genocidal acts against German settlers and especially Mennonites in Ukraine

      • You believe that communists stabbed the Spanish Republic in the back

      • You believe that major parts of the Spanish Republic are an example of anarchism put into practice

      • You have no idea that the Spanish Republic had forced labour camps, extreme levels of control over labourers and the movement and spending habits of the people, zero desire to lose their colonial holdings over the part of Morocco that was their colony because they aspired to colonise more of Africa and that they rejected overtures from the Moroccan people who sued for independence with very favourable conditions for the Spanish Republic, and all the apparatuses of state that you would expect from a typical government

      • You are unable to provide a functional definition of fascism without looking it up

        That’s a pretty big assumption that they’d have enough historical knowledge to even know these were a thing.
