Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

The sectarianism is annoying (inshallah for Hexbear federation to bully the sectarians), but the narrative about MLs regularly teaming up with anarchists only to stab them in the back turns out to be bullshit when investigated.
Btw an anarchist from blahaj coming here and complaining about sectarianism is mighty rich when a 80% of entire lemmy modlog bans are people banned from there for being "tankie" - specifically interesting since their comments for which they are banned are not specified, that is, they haven't been banned for anything concrete.
Also preempive fishing for a ban, lol, how old they even are?
Can you just spare yourself an utter embarrasment and block us or better yet, create an account on instance which have defederated from us if that's so important to you?
That's incredibly hypocritical of you to say after what you wrote in this thread.
"NOOOO, LENIN JUST LET THESE SAILORS BREAK AWAY IN THE MOST STRATEGICALLY VALUBLE NAVAL LAND WHILE THERE'S CURRENTLY 13 FOREIGN NATIONS INVADING YOU. THEYRE MORE IDEOLOGICALLY PURE!!!!"
i dont want left unity. also, "misinformation?" you're telling me that no anarchists praise the black panthers? that no anarchist praises rosa luxemburg and sankara?
where are these 'anarchist territories' that are here today?
the zapatistas do not claim to be, nor have they ever claimed to be, anarchist.
Cracker take: "these native people don't get to choose what they are. I do"
they do have a state, though.
and they use this state to enforce their laws, such as their total ban on alcohol and smoking, which (correct me if im wrong) is not usually considered an anarchist principle
edit: bruh did they edit all their comments?
Left unity isn't real, and we don't share a common cause
The final battlecry of the faux-"leftist" who refuses to actually engage with revolutionaries who actually do things.
If you engaged with us in good faith whatsoever you would realize that a disproportionate percentage of us are LGBT+. We're also scientific socialists and believe in something called nuance.
I am certain that you believe RFA nonsense regarding LGBT rights in AES nations. You should have seen the resolute joy permeating this site when Cuba passed the new family code. Vietnam will hold a similar referendum in 2024 and I have a ton of hope the Vietnamese people will make the correct choice. Being a worker's democracy, I believe they will.
How does it feel knowing the AES world is progressing at 10x speed the capitalist world ever has? How does it feel to see successful socialism in action while you can't even name a successful anarchist territory, yet claim the Zapatistas do not have the right to differentiate themselves from western "anarchism"?
I respectfully await Blahaj's self-inflicted demise, and for you to study.
Yes. Retreat and have le epic last word. We will continue to fight for LGBT+ liberation in reality while you waste time owning the tankies online. Enjoy.
u forgot somethin homie
nah because you're a troll lol. We have anarchists here who act like adults, believe it or not!
Which is something that has been covered by Cuba's free healthcare program since 2008 while governments in the West are passing legislation to undermine trans people's rights.
I hear you. I still disagree. Congratulations on the surgery and I am sorry for the side effects.
We do not pretend to trust anarchists. They are at best temporary allies to Marxism-Leninism, or better yet they cease to call themselves anarchists and pursue an actual, practiced method of achieving socialism.
I recommend Stalin's writings on anarchism and why "left unity" is a myth that Marxist-Leninists do not adhere to.
No Marxism-Leninist would turn their guns on anarchists unless it was in self-defense, like Makhno's band of pillagers devastating rural communities under the guise of "liberation" (basically setting them up for slaughter) or the Kronstadt sailors violent antisemitism.
Anarchists joined Mao in droves. They ceased being anarchists and in many cases simply joined the 'left' wing of the party. There are constantly debates about how and when the state should begin to be dismantled. It's usually a far longer process than anyone would like, but at least there's a means and an end, rather than an end with no means, as is common in anarchist thinking.
I used to consider myself an anarchist but then I read about the Red Guards in China and how many abuses they got away with... because lack of technology and reach made party oversight basically impossible. This is always the effect of too much decentralization too quickly, violent ambitious people weaponizing revolutionary facades to garner power and commit violence. There must be some form of centralized power structure to ensure the rights of the people are being properly maintained and their needs properly met.
As a parting recommendation, I suggest Engels' On Authority, assuming you have not read it. Personally, it shattered much of my anarchist thinking.
Best of luck with what you're going through!
Diabetics dying without insulin after the dissolution of industrial society is apparently good for the working class.
I'm always curious about this when I talk to argumentive anarchists. When was the last time you read a book? Like, any book?
