Thankfully those of us on world have not had to deal with them for the better part of a year. There's so much wrong there it's kind of hard to know where to begin.
All I will really say for now is that they are perfect anti advocates for the things at the surface level they advocate for.
You would think having a healthy discourse and talking to each other, exchanging ideas would be better to proliferate a certain ideology.
All they do is try to insult or demand one is an all knowing being. Some read my comment and assume I’m from us and have to know every agency there is.
If they want to bring their ideologies out there they should stop trying to be destructive. All they accomplish is a negative image of their movement.
It’s like a 14 yo has learned about communism and is now super edgy towards everybody because he thinks he’s hacked the system.
Certain authoritarian ideologies and well, ideologies in general. Depend on rejecting ideas and evidence. Ideologies are ideal, but not real. So it tends to devolve into shouting and name calling. Leninists hypocritically haranguing liberals and vice versa etc.
I would definitely be down for some anarco communism. But I think it's offensive to repeat the misnomer that ML is communism. Or ever has, ever will lead to communism. Anyone who looks to enact change through brutal, murderous suppression via a vanguard party. Could hardly exude a more juvenile thinking vibe. That "it's okay/good when we do it" BS.
I learned something from your comment. Thank you.
Explains a lot of things that happen rn. Gaza, Ukraine, harsh cut between right/left.
Weird how an ideology that depends on rejecting ideas and evidence keeps adapting to new evidence and contexts.
I wonder why Cuban marxism is so different than Chinese marxism which is different from Soviet marxism, which is different from every south american country's marxisms.
One might even think they're taking a Scientific approach to Socialism.
Interesting how in every case, they betray their anarchist allies as soon as they get even a feeble hold of state power. There must be a really good peer reviewed paper that conclusively suggests that must be done. Scientifically.
