you either in the huddle or you out the huddle
(lemmygrad.ml)
Either you ridin' or we pass you, flyin' by sayin' fuck you
having done extensive on the ground work, irl anarchists are nothing like internet anarchists in my experience
the worst you will get as an ML is a snide comment or a weird look, which if that bothers you, you are not suited to organizing
and frankly "supporting" china has no material impact whatsoever, and implies a very "posting is praxis" western marxist worldview
Supporting China in the form of creating anti-cold war coalitions can have a material impact. It can at least delay and disrupt the imperial machine while they figure out how to pass laws so that calling a Congressperson a loser now earns someone prison time, etc.
Also a great way to expose people to the police reaction that will occur when you organize anything in this vein of any importance. Gotta keep innoculating more and more people so that we don't get easily murdered when cool zones hit.
are you fucking high?
since when has the us imperial war machine gave the tiniest shit about what the people think?
and even if they did, the average american sees everyone outside of america as subhuman and worthy of scorn, you think they would oppose a war?
my point is that it doesn't matter at all
we are barely past the starting gun of communism
the generations before us (in the west) got complacent and dropped the fucking ball
at this moment, having anarchists as allies can only benefit the working class, they have better support networks, making a real difference to people's lives on the ground
we can deal with our differences when we aren't completely outnumbered and outgunned by the overt fascists who are trying to kill us, and the movement dead
and make no mistake, i will probably be in my sixties by the time that fucking happens, and you in your forties
you know what, fuck it, i'm done being nice to you larpers
GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE AND DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR FUCKING LIFE YOU WORTHLESS FUCKING PRICK
shut the fuck up larper, you live in a suburb in wisconsin, no one fucking cares
you really suck at this don't you larper
go the fuck outside and do something with your life
I dunno I think dismissively quoting 19th century political philosophical divisions in response to someone pointing to the importance of real-world on the ground mass organizing is firmly in the realm of idealism.
The science of revolution requires a grounding in the conditions of the working class and an aptitude for organizing a mass base. Many anarchists are far ahead of many Western MLs in this respect, as being a Western ML is unfortunately often treated more like an identity or club rather than an activity or life dedication or science.
Whether they're all-in on China or think that Xi is the anti-Christ, the end result is exactly the same: absolutely nothing whatsoever. There isn't a local left, much less a national left; certainly there isn't anything that anybody could seriously call an international movement. The opinions of random westerners mean absolutely nothing to the CCP. Fixating on what we have zero influence over is wholly unproductive.
Maybe in 20 years we'll have cobbled together a movement that Beijing thinks is even worth offering a nod to, but right now we're a bit too irrelevant to worry about our place on the global stage.
Smdh my dick head you'd think with all the fucking books the intellectual Marxists carry around they'd have the muscle to lob a brick once in a while. Put those arms to a better use in the present than jacking each other off about dreams of fighting anarchists in the future.
You'd think MLs would recognize the need to build a mass base but Western self-proclaimed ML parties tend to be like 4 people that alienate everyone around them or are PatSoc adjacent, lol. Not all of them by any means. PSL and some others do a better job, but none are really doing the work of building a mass base. There's some kind of inescapable drive to do weird out-of-touch shit, lol. They're all getting dunked on by DSA libs in that arena, lol.
I also have a great time organizing with several (not all, of course) orgs of various anarchist tendencies.
I come here out of love as someone that identifies with the ML tradition and keeps running headfirst into trying to get Western commies to actually organize.
Propaganda of the deed was disproven by like 1910
Propaganda of the deez?
Also "eww no physical violence is so 1910" ah yeah that explains why the Russians rolled over for Tsar Nicholas for so long
Oh wait no he got owned
Old Nicky got killed by Marxists, so you don't get to claim that.
All violence isn't propaganda of the deed - just purposeless, disorganized violence, done for no other purpose than to feel effective and ineffectively influence others to do the same. Anarchist violence, really.
Bro you don't go stolen valoring the Russian revolution. I'm begging you to take your dick out of your hand and put a gun in it instead. And organize.
Propaganda of the deed, but with a weird sexual obsession
Yes this is literally my fetish
