@yrysbryd Yes a system is more authoritarian the more the implementation of people's power is monopolized

@FreedomFlaming0 Particular community . It’s not as black and white as it seems it’s more like a spectrum really and I think we shouldn’t judge a movement silly by whether we consider it authoritarian or not different contexts have deffiring needs

No matter how many times Marxists try to make authoritarianism sound good it never will. You are the ball and chain of revolutionary consciousness

“Communist nations are ALWAYS authoritarian”

@yrysbryd I use power simply as the ability to enact one's will. It's neutral. The power to extract obedience from others is the problem
English
@FreedomFlaming0 And that’s certainly a definition for sure though really power is a lot more complicated than that regardless even under that definition authoritarian actions and praxis has its use particularly in community resistance movements where it is spread out among members of

This is correct in one direction: historically Anarchists have worked alongside or in conjunction with Marxist-Leninists, only to then have the results of their efforts co-opted by others, their roles erased from history, and them even being eradicated at some turns.

Anarchists are our allies. We both want the same end goal, a world where no human being exploits another. We naturally have more in common with them than liberals, it's just a question of how we get there. Historically, Marxism-Leninism was what was proved to work better, through
English
@yrysbryd The way I use authoritarianism is the monopolization of the social implementation of power within a structure.
English
@FreedomFlaming0 The principle difference comes in the democratization of authority the more I think about it . You have a united front built on that authority of each individual

@roger_s_84 Rojava is a region and zapitismo is an ideology. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
English
@FreedomFlaming0 "ML projects haven't worked." Anarchism is *nothing*. I'm being generous by including Rojava and Zapatismo.
English
ML projects haven't worked. Most repressed worker self organization instead placing the under the weight of state bureaucracy and state firms. History has shown we are not allies, as our methods are completely different and your projects betray the revolution and anarchists.

@FreedomFlaming0 You're just a moralfag then with no sense of pragmatism, and definitely no material analysis other than "state = bad"
English
I see more critique towards anarchist for being "pro west" for simply rejecting all states and all forms of imperialism than I do for the ACP who has "Promotion of American Civilization" as point 17 of their party platform

@EclecticRadShow Eldctorialism is deadend in a bourgeoise system because candidates are always going to be limited between what they can do and what capital allows them to do
English
@grimmmnm I save my condemnation for all practices and structures that deserve condemnation. The enemy of your enemy can still easily be your enemy
English
@FreedomFlaming0 And? That deserves my condemnation? I only reserve my condemnation for imperialists. Not for culturally backwards countries who have never been given the opportunity to peacefully develop

Conservatives be like "pride is a sin unless it's pride for your country"
English
@grimmmnm No and that was never the argument. Iran is a repressive state, especially towards ethnic minorities and women
English
@FreedomFlaming0 In times like this it really is that black and white. Do you seriously think Iran is anywhere near equivalent to Israel and the US in depravity and brutality?
English
This overnight strawman is by far the most laughable one but it's annoying how often it is used. It's a clear marker that one hasn't engaged at all in even the most basic anarchist theory
“Professor” GNN@DrLeoMarvin5
Yeah just abolish government overnight (actually an imperialists wet dream) to keep the status quo The economy is the important factor here and how is regulated

The Republic's first leader was a liberal that praised the black shirt's suppression of communists and anarchists btw

Italy became a republic during pride month btw… coincidences? i dont think so

@komiikatze Anarchists are against the monopolization of the social implementation of power within structures and the power to extract obedience from others. We are not allergic to power in any way. We are against Hierarchical power. Equality and expansion of structural power is a must
English
We need Marxists because Anarchists are allergic to power. We need Anarchists because Marxists become addicted to power.

"Killing children is (morally) bad"

@cull_trade Try to explain without resorting to moralism or idealism
English
@roger_s_84 It's completely unrelated to what I said at all btw
English
@FreedomFlaming0 Odd thing to say, given that without Rojava "Actually Existing Anarchism" is down to 1/3 of Chiapas and a few squats in Greece.

@roger_s_84 The PYD and zapatistas are explicitly not anarchist. They are libertarian socialist
