    No worries. But making a movement into a farce of itself and encouraging infighting is right out of the 1970s cointel playbook.

    Even better if you can do the above to the point that the original ideology is no longer decently reflected in the current discourse

    (Note this is consistent with most online leftists spaces, so not throwing specific shade on ML, and gets into a whole greater problem with the role social tech platforms play in shaping discourse)




  • Cool guy you are. Your “guarantee” isn’t worth the bits in your text given we don’t know each other - neither is your disrespect.

    But hey keep feeling better than someone else you don’t know if that helps you.

    I’m happy as is with my knowledge and political orientation. Was just trying to widen your lens - to understand why someone may support a political doctrine: anarchy, ghat comes from theory and practice which contributed to many positive changes across societies.

    … also still waiting for your alternate frame



  • So you’re saying human civilization always operated under a hierarchical body politic without decentralized decision making?

    Serious ahistorical claim.

    By the way “anarchy” in the sense of childish movie plot stuff is not what any adherent of the ideology is about. Anarchy is a spectrum and set of guiding principles (like any political belief system), and one can argue that forms of what I might identify as anarchistic political structures have and do exist in many political systems. Just like socialism exists in neoconservative governments, and fascism in democracy ect…






  • I don’t fundamentally disagree with the principle, but it’s easier to police malignant behavior if nudity is confined to limited social spaces (eg. beaches, gyms, saunas, ect…)

    Otherwise you give creepos the ability to ruin random public spaces randomly with very little enforcement potential - but I guess it depends on what of the two restricted scenarios is the lesser evil.

    I am somewhat ambivalent FWIW

    Cowbee, I disagree almost entirely with what you posted. But with respect for you clearly articulating your position I will share my response.

    To your “But Russia is not imperialist” , please reflect on the following and to what extent you must stretch a rationalization:

    First and Second Chechen Wars (1994, 2000) Puppet Leader in Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko (1996) Puppet leader in Ukraine Victor Yanukovych (2010) Georgian War (2008) Annexation of Crimea (2014) Role in Syria conflict (2000 onwards) Role in African dictatorships in Burma Faso and Niger (2010s- present)

    … global south / US bad too / old Soviet vassal states must kneel ect… I get it. But the above conflicts are evidence of state capitalism exerting itself militarily for geopolitical and economic aims

    I doubt this will influence you much as you are pretty invested in your world view. But from my vantage point and reading of theory (likely some overlap if you are ML) - you are wrong *respectfully
