        I am kinda curious how anarchist communities find these radlib-that-call-themselves-anarchist communities that are often a lot larger than them

          I mean you guys helped me think better of anarchists. Otherwise I would've considered all anarchists to be just liberals with an aesthetic.

          But let's be honest we're all :lib:s here.

      it's really fucking stomach churning. the greatest contribution of the anarchist tradition is an inoculation against false pragmatism and an undying urge to bite the hand that feeds. if you can't get a grasp on that, then anarchism offers you literally nothing but the aesthetics.

      For an anarchist, they also really seem to like voting in bourgeoisie elections. Rejecting state power and the false dichotomy of US politics? Nah that's not anarchist, vote is...

      they don't know, they just know they have to angrily defend whatever rich guy is running their nation, so tankies must be doing the exact same thing

        this they claim we support Xi and Putin. (And by support Xi they mean in a weird cult of personality way, not like the normal support we have for the CPC). They also claim to not support Biden, but insist we all vote for him or the fascists win or something

      Xi and Putin

      Another reply they sent today, where they explain their vote evangelizism, and claim we've been misled into supporting Xi (as an individual) and Putin

        People learn about atrocities and lies in U.S. history and that seems to make them think that enemies of the U.S. must be good, but that's a fallacy.

        It's always projection to the point of shadowboxing lmfao

      I am guessing they are using the same logic as the article during the cold war that states that Stalin was the richest man to ever live because his dictatorial control of the USSR was so strong, we can attribute all property and economic activity in the USSR as his personal wealth.

    Imagine being so anti-Marxist as a self-titled anarchist that you start riding for ancaps he-laughed

      That's what happens to your brain on political compass bullshit. It flattens their understanding of politics to a place where they think they have some sort of shared beliefs with right wing ghouls if they place themselves on that side of the "authoritarianism axis." The same way it lets them do nazi apologia by calling us "red fash"

      Imagine being an anarchist that participates in bourgeoisie liberal democracy. Literally one of the core principles of anarchism is the rejection of that.

    An anarchist that participates in bourgeoisie liberal democracy? What kind of anarchist is that? One of the core principles of anarchism is the rejection of liberal democracy. Have they actually read any anarchist theory? Why do they think the black bloc participates in riots and direct action after every presidential election in the USA?

    And they participate in liberal democracy to vote democrat to protect trans rights. When pressed with evidence of denocrats vetoing a pro trans bill, they proceeded to defend that action by the democrats. I honestly can't imagine having that little of a backbone.

    The liberal brainpan is incapable of conceiving people taking action without the directions of a rich person or evil dictator. Actions that go against liberal views, that is.
