But if anarchists were able to get a project off the ground a la Catalonia in the 30s, then I would not only lend my uncritical support, but I would look to become an active part of it (and no, I wouldn't try and turn it into an ML thing either).
Nothing but love and respect for my anarchist comrades. Death to factionalism and of course, death to America.
To work half-heartedly without a definite plan or direction; to work perfunctorily and muddle along--"So long as one remains a monk, one goes on tolling the bell." This is a ninth type.
To create division within our ranks, to post quotes online, this is a 69th type.
We must use Marxism, which is positive in spirit, to overcome liberalism, which is negative. A Communist should have largeness of mind and he should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as his very life and subordinating his personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere he should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; he should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about himself. Only thus can he be considered a Communist.
To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and even to hear counter-revolutionary remarks without reporting them, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened. This is a sixth type.
To be among the masses and fail to conduct propaganda and agitation or speak at meetings or conduct investigations and inquiries among them, and instead to be indifferent to them and show no concern for their well-being, forgetting that one is a Communist and behaving as if one were an ordinary non-Communist. This is a seventh type.
To work half-heartedly without a definite plan or direction; to work perfunctorily and muddle along–“So long as one remains a monk, one goes on tolling the bell.” This is a ninth type.
r/COMPLETEANARCHY tilted at a lot of fake ML windmills in their heads saying that tankies didn't support CHAZ/CHOP but we all supported it a fuckload more than that grifter Vaush did
So fuck yeah comrade
I also got perma banned from there for telling them that gloating over the chapo ban was stupid.
If anarchists actually got a revolution off the ground I could stop reading all these fat books and just vibe with revolutionaries
I mean communism is inherently anarchistic, so you have to be an anarchist at heart to be any kind of communist, right?
All the left says is "Anarchist, Ancom, Socialist, ML"
I just wanna destroy Capitalism for God's sake!
(For real though I agree)
Same, if a Marxist or ML revolution in my area (Like Thomas Sankara's one) has an actual chance of succeeding in my area I will offer my support and participate in it as an AnCom
Huh, I really? I assumed it was a bunch of anarchists with the rest being hippy radlibs trying to have a cool time.
Sort of, but Seattle's leftist politics has a surprisingly large contingent of trots. I know socialist alternative is one of the most vocal orgs there and I'm pretty sure they're trot.
anarchist here, we’re all comrades here. This place is amazingly wholesome, I love you all
:gui-better: the bourgeoise
I got some good news for you... This sort of exists already in Jackson MS, and is relatively successful so far: https://cooperationjackson.org/
I just saw this video about Cooperation Jackson. Seems pretty sus. Peter Buffet is involved.
So, just watched the video. It doesn’t seem like taking the money has changed their ideology in any way, since they are still very much anti-capitalist. It does seem like there might be a risk of dependency, but they appear to be pretty aware of that.
What I thought was interesting about the video is that Peter Buffett appears to be vocally anti-capitalist, which is a little strange. This article talks about it in more detail:
Unlike his billionaire father, Buffett is pessimistic about American capitalism. “We are in the midst of a collapse,” he says. He favors the small and local over the big and global, quoting Belgian designer Thomas Lommée, who says “the next big thing is a lot of small things.” NoVo funds think tanks like the Schumacher Center for a New Economics, named after the economist E. F. Schumacher, the author of the 1973 classic, Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered. “We’re trying to knit back together the community and the land that feeds us,” Buffett says. “If we can provide a non-prescriptive model, we can spread the word and likewise learn from other communities as well.”
Call me crazy, but I'm pretty skeptical that Peter Buffet is really anti-capitalist, whatever he may be saying
Yeah, I'm skeptical too, but it does seem strange. He also doesn't seem to be trying to appeal to leftists, so I wonder what his intended audience is.
Interesting. I haven't seen this. I'll have to watch it and get back to you.
Hell yeah. If I differ with an Anarchist it is because I differ with their solution, not their conception of the problem. We share the same goal of toppling Capitalism and the other unjust hierarchies of the world. We're trying to build a new world, of course there will be disagreements: we haven't done it yet, so of course a variety of solutions are vying to be the one that works.
and us mls and anarchists would both end up at the same eventual solution of communism, it’s just the difference in our interpretation of socialism
Fuck yeah. And speaking as an anarchist, I'd be right on board with a successful ML project. I love you all and I hope that when the time comes, even those who speak against it will work with us and take this shit system down.
Wow so clever I wish I had as big a brain as you so I could make high quality effortposts like this
