Yeah Chomsky,an anarchist that regularly tells you to vote Democrats.
Liberal gives a shitty opinion, reddit mod: "no attack on anarchist", for the action proves that anarchists are liberal.
pathetic behavior from shit liberals say, they very much fucking know many western anarchists are just radlib idiot pieces of shit
This mod has been consistently banning MLs off of SLS for a while now. SLS has been taken over by feds...or worse, radlibs.
Yep. Now GenZedong sub in on that way too, i have been banned there yesterday, with absolutely identical reason as from SLS. Not much lose to be honest, not after the utterly shameful mod post and their capitulation to nazis.
That one after quarantine, where they said new mod team is on and they forbid talking about Ukraine conflict because the admins could even.... ban the sub (oh the horror!)
Ok, but that's what a quarantine does. You get the sub back only if you agree to the conditions the admins set.
I dont agree with it either, but it doesnt mean the mods are nazis.
No it don't, you DON'T get your sub back, no one ever did, certainly not a single left sub get unquarantined, it's a one-way to either ban or slow death*. And i didn't said mods ARE nazis, just they capitulated to the reddit admins, which are open nazi apologists.
My point is that it is not worth it, we all always knew one day GZD will get banned anyways, just as every too based sub before.
*Look at fullcommunism which is quarantined for years and it is nearly dead ruin now, last when i went there the only activity was some guys trying to top one another in proukrainian propaganda.
I genuinely had no idea Chomsky was an anarchist. I thought he was one of those postmodern post-marxists who write takedowns of Stalin in university libraries.
Chomsky is what zero materialism does to an MFer. Here he is, literally arguing for MLism in a completely different context:
I'm not in favor of people being in cages.
On the other hand I think people ought to be in cages if there's a saber-toothed tiger wandering around outside and if they go out of the cage the saber-toothed tiger will kill them. So sometimes there's a justification for cages. That doesn't mean cages are good things.
State power is a good example of a necessary cage. There are saber-toothed tigers outside; they are called transnational corporations which are among the most tyrannical totalitarian institutions that human society has devised. And there is a cage, namely the state, which to some extent is under popular control. The cage is protecting people from predatory tyrannies so there is a temporary need to maintain the cage, and even to extend the cage.
🥴
Is this an argument for neolib governments? Lmao. As long as no hammer and sickle it's fine.
Who knows? Who cares to find out? Chomsky is an ideological windvane.
He's... fine when he's criticizing the US empire but there are much better sources out there and Chomsky is only useful for his prominence but much like Richard Wolff he's got some really trash takes (barely) below the surface.
Is it because he's an op? Is he a reflection of the ideological hangover from the New Left era? Is he just an opportunist? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
