You can guess who they are talking about.
Also for those not in the know AES = “actually existing socialism” i.e. state capitalist dictatorships that are socialist in name only
call myself a communist so people don’t get the wrong idea about me
So…you a pro-authoritarian?
Basically, it feels like 99% of USeans think communist means ML including MLs themselves.
That’s 100% by design from both ends. ML call themselves communist despite all the evidence to the contrary. And then they don’t actually teach what communism is here. Just re assert ML claims that they somehow are as they attack them. China etc aren’t any more AES in any meaningfully way than the west.
Nah, communism can exist without marxism-leninism
It can but there’s 99% chance that this person is ML
Oh definitely! That I didn’t doubt haha
Still totalitarianism, which is a current that doesn’t have much differentiation from ML Stalinism.
Just because MLs claim they are communist, doesn’t mean it’s true. Or do you naively believe the DPRK to be democratic just because it is in the name?
Anarcho-Communism is not totalitarian friend.
But it is based on weird assumptions. Like, “your family doesnt have hierarchies and it works, why wouldn’t you run the country in the same way”. Uh um did you see some families? Things can get really fucked up. And I’m not even taking about the scaling issue.
This sounds like ypu might have some misconceptions about anarchy, that’s ok :)
I can recommend Peter Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid” or this quick overview: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/bob-black-anarchy-101
But besides that, this comment thread was about whether communism is always authorotarian/totalitarian and I think I have shown that it is not.
The shit I’m talking about is literally from Kropotkin’s book.
How is a classless stateless society a totalitarian state? If there’s a totalitarian state it isn’t communist because it’s a state. Not just totalitarian.

These people use far too much jargon. Especially liberal, nobody really seems to know what one is exactly, but they call each other and everyone they interact with one.

It’s very intentional, it allows them to change the meanings of words on the fly, then claim that the problem is your ignorance of what they really meant.
You just don’t read enough theory.
posts 100 emojis, stickers, and gifs as you can see from the gigs, I have won now.
To them, liberal is everyone who isn’t a ML who isn’t a straight up neonazi.
I’m not so sure about that. Hexbear called me a fascist and a lib in the same thread. 😆
Communist is still the wrong word if they want people not to get the wrong idea.
Omg
