We have what we have through protest and direct action. The 8 hour day and other worker’s rights were won by unions fighting back. Votes don’t matter till the people you voted for are afraid. Cut out the middleman and we don’t have to keep fighting for our rights.
Nah yeah you right
Maine has red hotdogs, we call them red snappers
We sure it doesn’t mean Georgia the country?
No one WANTS to play that game. I get it can be frustrating to deal with, but you also need to understand how frustrating it is for your wife. Maybe talk about what both of you should do when the need to play the game arises so its less stressful for both of you.
These are all from 2020
Yeah they are reactionary christians. A radical christian would be like the Catholic Workers and Dorothy Day, or the Fasci Siciliani, or Leo Tolstoy
Anarcho-nihilists and insurrectionary anarchists are the ones typically using the symbol, and they don’t usually care if its the Moorcock one or the Games Workshop one. Won’t deny, yeah this one’s the Games Workshop version. But I also think its basically arguing semantics whether they’re using the Moorcock one, an anarcho-nihilist one, or a GW one. Whether its the GW one or not is sorta irrelevant (I was just trying to provide some history and context, won’t deny I missed the circle which does make it the GW version), as its clearly being used in an anarchist context. All I was saying was Moorcock is credited with the original, and Games Workshop were directly inspired by Moorcock and also used it. However I do not feel its fair to equate op or anyone that uses the symbol to fascists. Yes some use the chaos star but it is a very specific and niche version of it.
I also don’t think its a good idea to just give up the symbol because a couple irrelevant basement dwelling fascists try to use a niche version of the chaos star. I’m tired of leftists just letting fascists take symbols away without a fight. I don’t see Marxists dropping the hammer and sickle cause NazBols use it.
Lastly, anarchists are certainly beefing with tankies. And they are going to use their symbols to do it. Chaos star included because it is an anarchist symbol whether you agree with its use or not. I have it on my punk jacket, I am a very clear anarchist, and I very much have beef with tankies because I see them as fascists with a red coat of paint.
I like it here cause they just made rules against tankie behavior. Yes this has kicked up a lot of dirt as the tankies are kicking and sealioning like they usually do when pushed against. But as an anarchist, I like that they have taken this stance as it makes me feel welcome. They also are cracking down on any sort of bigotry in general which I like that they are making it a safe and welcoming place. Lastly, I think the posts are better (although you might be seeing a lot of pro and anti-tankie posting till the dust settles). I just blocked the lemmy.ml instance cause I am fed up with their bullshit
Its used by a lot. In your case (anarchism) its the symbol for anarcho-nihilism. Originates from a Michael Moorcock book series
The chaos star comes from before Warhammer. It comes from the Elric of Malniboné books by Michael Moorcock (unfortunate last name lol). The symbol has been adopted by anarcho-nihilists, which is the context for this usage
Anyone who thinks Tankies and anarchists can get along should look up the CNT-FAI, the Ukrainoan Black Army, the Kronstadt Rebellion, and the Korean People’s Association in Manchuria and see what happened when they all worked with tankies. And if anyone wants to see how tankies compare today heres some fucked up shit about the largest ML party in the US.

PSL has defended abusers and harassed victims for speaking up, have policed and harassed the members for liking and sharing things that don’t follow the party’s strict platform, and have ruined actions that could have made real change all because they care more about public image than actual effective action. PSL is a cult, your friends are in a cult, and you are advocating for a cult.

Fuck ML’s, they are tankies. They are literally what the term tankie was invented to describe. Tankie is an authoritarian leftist. Specifically referring to the use of tanks by the USSR to suppress the Hungarian revolution (and can be extend to include China using tanks at Tiananmen Square). Fascists with red characteristics is what they are. If space is made for tankie behavior to be welcome here, then I, as an anarchist, am not welcome here. Anti-sectarian talk is only ever used as an excuse by tankies to force anarchists to toe the lone.
Liberals learning about the term tankie was a trajedy. But I say we continue to use it (rules should clearly define it though) so we can try to maintain its original meaning rather than let them misuse and coopt it
Thats as best of a why as we got. Sometimes things don’t have clear reasons or origins
Here’s a video full of them. I am done and fulfilled my end of this interaction. I will not fall victim to tankie sealioning.
Engels was a bourgeoisie cunt that doesn’t understand what the word “authority” means.
