You’ll see anarchists praising Rosa Luxemburg, who if they had actually read her writings – they would see that she was very clearly one of the “authoritarian” socialists that they rail against so much.

You see them praise the Black Panthers, who were supported financially by the DPRK and aligned themselves with the Juche ideology of Kim Il Sung.

They even praise Thomas Sankara, who purged anarchists and arrested syndicalists.

If these people had succeeded, i have no doubt in my mind that anarchists would call them “tankies,” they would call their experiments “capitalism with a red flag.” And I also have no doubt in my mind that if the October Revolution, Chinese Revolution had been crushed, they would hail Lenin and Mao as proletarian heroes.

    I’m 26 years old. And I’m used to being banned from spaces like this. Honestly talking here at all is extremely depressing, I was legitimately hoping that I would be banned, so I could easily differentiate in the future leftist communities that will not spread misinformation about my political beliefs from ones that will.

      Can you just spare yourself an utter embarrasment and block us or better yet, create an account on instance which have defederated from us if that’s so important to you?

      that will not spread misinformation about my political beliefs from ones that will.

      That’s incredibly hypocritical of you to say after what you wrote in this thread.

        I have blocked this place, but i keep coming back for more lol. We’re on a post spreading misinformation about my political beliefs 😂

        I’m also not embarrassed about anything I’ve said. I stand by what I’ve said, I just do not have the energy or the desire to argue with several people at the same time about it. This thread blew up pretty fast so, it got pretty quickly out of hand. And I’m just an impoverished trans woman by myself against an entire server of people rearing to have a go at telling me I’m stupid for being an anarchist.

        All in all id rather argue with people who pretend to care about my rights than conservatives who actively hate me
