Shoutout to all the leftists who can’t do this and can’t do that and can’t do the things that leftists are “supposed” to do. No one person is perfect.

You aren’t a fake leftist for not being able to do these things. All that matters is that you put in the effort, in whatever way that you can.

It’s not about your abilities as an individual. It’s about our power as a collective.

Porn and prostitution being claimed by the left is sickening. As a leftie, the narrative around porn and prostitution bans from others on the left rejecting it is so strange. Porn is sexist and racist. But these people are either in on it (watching it or making it) or stupid. The sex trade industry is misogyny on its face, it has been rebranded as “liberating” by lefties and pornographers.

Middle class liberal feminists make this argument all the time: “I am being sexualised anyway, so I may as well make money from it” this is a terrible argument, why are you not fighting sexualisation, harassment and rape? We all have to fight it. Do not give in to patriarchy. Do not be its tool!

What does the picture tell us or what does it want to tell us?

Incidentally, the cool-looking fighter all in black alone against a system is somehow already a romantic narrative in which you like yourself. A transfiguration of good versus evil without shades of grey, but unfortunately the world is not good or evil in many shades.

The black bloc is anarchy is it, does not belong to the youth the anarchy just to destroy any symbols that symbolise capitalism.

The romance of the street fight and then the athletic, the hormonal extasy that makes the hunt or rather the cat and mouse game with the executive even better.

Is it perhaps just to escape from his conformist everyday life or really the expression of a philosophy!

What does the black block look like in private, does he live what he strives for?

Or are they just wealthy people who like to riot and loot the shops of people who work hard to survive in the kind of capitalism they have so favoured?

In reality, anarchy is mostly a disappointment everything is so self-organising, beautiful from the smallest to the largest. How explains it to everyone and shows how you can realise it and live in it.

But if that's not your ambition, it's probably not worth living it.

The French Revolution failed because some wanted to decide everything, not with the commune that organises itself.

It was about eliminating the classes in the sense of killing them on the scaffold and taking their position.

Whoever shows us how to live with an entire society should have a plan to convince us. Throwing stones and setting cars on fire is anything but anarchism.

Anarchy (ancient Greek ἀναρχία anarchía "rulelessness", from ἀρχία archía "rule" with negating alpha privativum) refers to a state of absence of rule. It is mainly used in political philosophy, where anarchism advocates such a social order.

Anarchists want society to regulate itself, for example through councils, free agreement or purely functional decisions, in the words of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon: "Anarchy is order without domination." A central figure of modern anarchism in German-speaking countries, Horst Stowasser, also referred to Proudhon's programmatic definition.

Anarchy is also commonly associated with a state of social disorder, tyranny and lawlessness caused by the absence of the state and institutionalised violence, and is often used in many media outlets to distort the actual meaning of the term "chaos and anarchy". However, the actual term for such a state is anomie.

Show us an old anarchist who has not been eaten by the system and has renounced an easy life, then the dream is alive.

Quick PSA for anyone who needs to shoplift to survive: walmart has undercover rent-a-cops walking around trying to catch people stealing so they can crack down next time. So be careful, that guy watching you is actually watching, and might start shit next time you walk in

“Generations” are bad actually we are all on the same team (except for the capitalists)

Whenever I'm studying Marxism (and that's quite a lot of times actually) I remember Marx's idea that Revolution can only take form through hate.

Of course, I know now it's a very specific form of hate and that it's pointed to a specific community of people but when I started learning about it, I often found myself rebelling at the notion of hatred as a conductive to Revolution.

I thought hate was too volatile, too savage to be trustworthy but as I grow older and see the world as it is I see myself tasting that hate — and it's hard to actually put into words but this hatred is not ugly and unpredictable.

This hatred is actually quite beautiful, it's not a firing blaze scorching down the earth but a burning fire cleansing a wound, it's born out of indignation and love for humankind. It's there because I love humanity so much I can't help but feel the indignation for what happens to us to my very core and I can't help but turn this into anger, into hatred against those I know are responsible for this.

I really think Marx was onto something with this besides the whole political and economic points he usually made.
