I’m an anarchist, and my take is that anarchism isn’t pacifism, and “no coercion” is a bad summary. It’s more about the absence of hierarchical coercion and instead distribution of power to all people and communities.

If you’re going around burning down houses, your anarchist neighbors are going to use force to take away your matches and gasoline if you don’t stop.

I love my stream of Star Trek shitpost.

Left libertarianism was first… But nowadays it only exists to “well actually” people with, at least in the US.

Genocide is not an appropriate response to an attack.

It’s all bullshit, and you’ve hit the nail on the head.

The only way out is through each other: change your workplace to be less bullshit. Demand dignity. Maybe bring your friends and make a co-op.

You good, man? You good?

Cigarette butts, the thing op is complaining about, are not mostly ash. They’re mostly plastic. Not cool to litter.

Constant capitalist and corporatist propaganda: I sleep

A single anticapitalist idea: real shit?

This is true today but for a while in the 20th century 伊 was used for “she”

Ok but in writing you do, at least if you’re my college professors and want to make your students sad

他 third person singular, neutral 她 she 它 it (non-human, especially inanimate) 牠 it (animal) 祂 third person singular (divine)

Came here to post this. Sure seems like states are the problem here…

Down with states and stature
Strive instead to ready
Through direct radical action
Root changes grow fruitful
Refreshed from old ashes
Our society rises
We sow personal power
To free all the people

If we assume portals obey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_invariance, then there’s no difference between “the tram|portal is moving and the people are stationary” and “the tram|portal is stationary and the people are moving.” The outcome should be the same.

There’s a lot of space in the left that isn’t stalinism. You can be a communist and have a deep critique of how 20th century communism worked, a learning from it and not wanting to repeat the bad parts.

In leftist circles in the US, weird Stalin and Lenin fans are loud, but ultimately not that common.

Socialism is not inherently authoritarian. Yes, 20th century socialism following Lenin’s example was. But it’s not inherent.

Socialism is about workers controlling economic production - at it’s core. That’s a democratic, anti-authoritarian idea.

Libertarian socialist like me are extremely salty at the leninists and others like them for giving the rest of us a bad name.

One way you might resolve this is to get everybody talking about it without the boss there. I bet nobody likes the policy. Maybe everyone would agree to not give a reason, or to give the same reason that is an obvious lie?
