Rosa in reality: I don't approve of the Bolshevik's methods, but I recognize they are currently fighting for their lives, so I will withhold my criticisms until a more stable time.
Rosa in online anarchists's mind: Lenin was a stinky poopoo head and I love anarchism
"Hey, you know how the culture of different countries influences their strains of socialism?"
"Yeah, what's your point?"
"So do you think how western culture glorifies martyr's may have something to do with the fact that most of the revolutions we glorify have failed?"
"Nahhhh"
left infighting and hate for anarchists is weird because communism is literally a classes, stateless, society. That's what these people fought for and what they fought for sounds like communism and anarchism to me. What you call the ideal society seems to depend on what lens you put on your camera.
I agree with that. I think the trap too many people fall into is leaning on old theorists for their prescriptions for America. Like any other country it has its own unique set of material and social conditions and as such needs a political program built around that.
It's not just internet points, though I am sure most users internalize upvotes at least somewhat. In this site you get pop up notifications of replies if you're browsing. Default setting is active, so you see comment chains going back and forth rise. Which isn't bad, I come here for the discussion, but reddit format has its downsides.
Right but if you don't have a historical or material framework within which to achieve these things, you're just a kid imagining a different world without any means of getting there. For a lot of the online dork anarchists they take industrialization completely for granted.

These people actually like Rosa because:
They don't read her
She was killed and didnt succeed in creating anything lasting
It's just a harry potter house aesthetic for them, gotta dig up shit to sling around to own the tankies
Liberal brain worms. They've infected online only anarchists to loving losers.

They hate actual socialists that succeed because they were not killed soon enough (bias towards martyrs).

Internet chats just get notoriously spicy. Reddits format also encourages performative debates.
