dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Sectarianism, fed by fanaticism, is always castrating. Radicalization, nourished by a critical spirit, is always creative. Sectarianism mythicizes and thereby alienates; radicalization criticizes and thereby liberates. Sectarianism in any quarter is an obstacle to emancipation of mankind.

Most other communities: It gets difficult NOW

Also I find the whole "remember that infighting that happened in the 50s? We can't be friends" thing to be fed-coded.

Anything is preferable to fascism and capitalism.

I'm chill afterwards too. I don't think any anarchist not-a-state can exist without a neighbouring communist state without getting eaten by neighbouring capitalist states. Therefore remaining friends post-revolution is essential for that entity.

It really depends on how you want to look at "revolution". Most people seem to be thinking in a nationalist way, that the revolution is done only in one country. But I don't think that's right, the revolution isn't finished until it's done in all countries, and no anarchist space can be safe until that's achieved.

Once ALL capitalist states are gone then it gets pretty ropey with the communist states, but also the communists should theoretically start to become anti-state themselves at that point.

Revisionist rats! I did nothing but good for your project, yet you banned me for my ideology in haste! I gave you many chances to unban me, I could have made thousands of edits, yet you rejected me. Now… you have forced me to go THERMONUCLEAR!

quote from WisconCom...

seriously, though, imagine if WisCom boy was here (context: extremely anti-revisionist anti-Dengist Hoxhaist bunkerboy)

This is a real question I'm asking and I'm not being sectarian I hope. Are there any current socialist states that make a big deal about anarchists? I haven't heard anything.

I know that there are anarchist communes in Venezuela, but their socialist party is cool with them and works together. I know that Thomas Sankara went after "anarcho-syndicalists" but I think that's because they were attached to French labor unions, or something like that.

I don't know anything about anarchists in Cuba, the PRC, or the DPRK. I used to know an anarchist comrade who lived in Vietnam but most of his political animosity was pointed at America, as it should be. It didn't seem like Vietnam cared much about him being an anarchist.

Beehaw, Lemmy.world, Blahaj, and all the lovely liberal ilk of Lemmy, who think themselves supremely to be left-leaning, but in actuality, are the most pathetic social-chauvinistic philistines of the West that they dearly clung onto...

Has there been secretarian arguing in AES? That was the issue underlying Trotsky, right?

There was also quite a bit in the 80s... gorby-sad
