The author of the black book of communism tended to write include even people who stubbed their toe as “victims of communism” yea.

I appreciate what other leftists are doing for the cause. As an anarchist, though, I have to interject.
The idea that a revolution needs to be carried out by a central authority is dangerous, as I’m sure plenty of you know. It doesn’t matter how red your new flag is. We leftists shouldn’t think of our state becoming a “better” state, but rather the abolition of the state altogether. Power concentrated in any form, no matter how well intentioned, inevitably reproduces hierarchy and domination. Our goal shouldn’t be to seize the machine, but to dismantle it and build something radically different: decentralized, cooperative, and rooted in mutual aid. Something we all can get behind.
I’d love to hear a marxist pov on this. <3
Lmao, the irony in that statement.
Let’s fucking go. This is why I love Blonde Redhead.
Or don’t partake in our democracy and kneel down when unions get busted without a fight. Glad to have you on our team 👍
Acknowledging that the majority of politicians don’t care about everyday people in the US as “bothsideism” is so fucking stupid. Don’t get it fucked up, it’s the poor vs the rich. And if it isn’t obvious, they want more money. More power.
If you actively stand there and say “yea shut up, bothsideist” (whatever the fuck that means) then you are contributing exactly nothing to the conversation.
This system is supposed to be for the people, right? For all the people? Not for the select few that gamed the system? So if it’s between a totalitarian state that silences dissent in order to keep workers rights or one that lets our politicians be corrupted and look the other way when rich people test the waters and try and take more and more with time, I’d prefer the first option.
Capitalism is a right-wing ideology. There is no center. The political spectrum is not a gradient. It’s either left or right. You either believe people should be above others or you believe in true equality. If you want a better future, elect people who understand this properly and fight for workers rights.
Fuck all of that.
FUCK CORPORATIONS.
Man what a great read, we really need more people like Emma Goldman these days.
Sounds more like a centrist to me.
Americans, take notes. The US government will use these tactics to disrupt protest, no doubt about it.
What an absolute coward. Bowing down to the USA because Trump told him to. Fucking coward.
