  • Are they truly Democratic though. Anarchism is an extreme form of democracy BTW. Not anti democratic. Coming at it from an American perspective, even many of our founding father’s figured by now we’d have majorly overhauled our governing system nearly 10 or more times. They knew their system was flawed. Instead institutional inertia has caused it to become progressively less democratic by many measures. And people turned the founders into infallible deities.

    I have less issue with those advocating to rework or abolish institutions. Than those that as a blanket say we can’t question or modify them. Criticism etc should be couched in actually making those institutions more democratic and equitable of course. Not like the economic liberals that like to pretend that they are Libertarians advocating for tax cut and end to regulations that reign in the avarice of Corporations And the wealthy.


  • You might be reading too much into this. Now if you can link to that same user praising Marxist leninism or any of the countries still based on that ideology. Then you have a hypocrisy to critique. But in the absence of that. Those are valid critiques of both Western democracy and Marxist leninist governments. And it’s probably based on their lived experience in a western democracy that they are criticizing it. I’m sure you can find many in China who would have similar criticisms about their own system.

    And just to make sure it gets said. Anarchists have no more love for the Chinese Communist Party than you do. So if you think they’re honestly using Anarchist as an attack Vector of the west. They’re going to need all the luck they can get with it.




  • And this is why we lefties will never achieve our goals. Too many focused on hyperbolic virtue signaling shit posts. And not enough focus on pragmatic policies or candidates to actually improve anything. More focused on tearing everything down and being useful tools to their enemies. Than building anything regardless of it being imperfect.

    I agree. Biden sucks when it comes to his Israel policy. He’s done too little too late and only after massive amounts of pressure at that. But realistically what other option do we have? Can someone show me a plausible way to elect someone other than Trump, RFK(lol) or Biden? And can anyone explain to me. Despite being the best of a bad bunch; what we have to gain right now by boosting his enemies in tearing him down.

    I’d love to have seen a president Sanders. Single-payer healthcare. Large works of public housing being erected etc. I’m sure self righteous shit posting will achieve much of that. And that surely liberals don’t have a valid point that we are facing fascism and the end of democracy. Despite many of their own politicians having enabled it. Failing to learn the lessons of 1930s Germany. I’m sure phyric infighting will end well. Yup, this is fine.
