Through coordination with the communities of others. Militias have and are very effective at fighting conventional standing armies. Look at the viet kongs, the anarchist militias in the Spanish Civil War, and the Ukrainian Black Army. Or the slave rebellion of Haiti. Even modern day, the Zapatistas hold their own against both the Cartels and the Mexican government.

Militias are a thing. We mean standing armies. No one is saying we just let the imperialists walk in and conquer us. It means people should be able to live and work wherever they want, unhindered by borders. An invasion is something else, and would be defended against by community defense and militias

Yeah, a pretty popular twitch streamer.

This is probably a hot take (apparently my previous one was also a hot take so who cares), I blame Hasan. He is no more than a spicy liberal, basically a social democrat. But he calls himself a socialist. So people watch him, feel radical and call themselves socialist when all they really want is a welfare state.

You're right, I was putting words in your mouth. Sorry. I do feel my comment is more or less still relevant

You are picking a fight with someone who does more than the bare minimum? Can you honestly say that you put this kind of energy to people who won't do anything but the bare minimum? People who vote but do nothing else to help others? No I'm probably not better than someone who votes and does other stuff to help people. But I am certainly better than the people who all they do is vote. So how about you put your "lesser of the two evils" perspective to work and go agitate people who aren't out there in their communities and helping people in need.

Yeah youre right. The person who doesnt vote does use their free time to help those in need. Personally I feel like thats better than the people who do the opposite. People who all they do is vote and then moral grand stand as if they did anything impactful. Cause I run into a lot more of those than I do of people like me. Too many people who feel like voting is enough and they can just vote and forget. How about you go pick fights with them, rather than bitching about people who are doing work but just dont want to play the voting game?

I ain't waiting for society to collapse. I practice prefiguration, meaning I build the infrasture and systems needed now to both take power away from the capitalists and politicians. This shows people we do not need these systems of oppression and lays the foundation needed for systemic and social change. Most anarchists are not twiddling their thumbs waiting for shit to hit the fan, they are out providing mutual aid and trying to build this foundation. We are not opportunists.

I do harm reduction in the streets. You do harm reduction by sucking politicians dicks. Don't act like the anti-trans shit Trump does doesnt affect me.

This guy's playing both sides so he always comes out on top
