Visited a book store in the city today because I have been on a reading streak and I want to keep it up.
There was a whole table dedicated to anarchist books so I figured they are anarchist leaning. That’s okay with me. I usually shop at our commie store but I can spice things up I guess.
What confused me, though, was that the table also had books on Navalny for some reason. I know we make fun of anarchist takes sometimes but this just genuinely confused me. They know he was a far right racist piece of shit, right?
Anyway I got some books. Testaments by Atwood, Walden by Thoreau and Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto.
Anarchism and supporting Navalny are both a result of what no theory does to a MF.
Idea for a tv show that’s never going to be made. A Tankie’s Curb your Enthusiasm.
In this episode the character confronted the staff. It starts with him screaming “Islamophobic hate speech” as they shove him out into the street.
I was at a demonstration yesterday and there were anarchists flying the Palestinian and Ukrainian flags side by side.
This is another episode of the show where a tankie makes everyone hate him.
The Tankie Protagonist goes up to the guys flying the Ukraine and Palestine flags and says “ukraine is a nazi state.” and one of them says aggressively “They can’t be nazis, they elected a Jewish president.”
