Oof, such a good album. “All my little words” is one of the best songs ever written.
Your comment moderation history is full of racist “Found the russian!” comments.
If you wield force to protect your class interests (which is inevitable while there is a capitalist and a working class), then there is nothing that prevents the accusation of “authoritarian” against you, regardless of how “decentralized” you create your structures.
Not only will capitalists call you authoritarian for fighting to defend your interests, its extremely common for anarchists to accuse even other anarchist groups of being more “authoritarian” than their own. Its a meaningless term in a world with irreconcilable classes and class conflict.
Its basically just “any leftist I don’t like” at this point. Not really any different from “woke”.
Some arrogant western supremacist ultralefts use it to distance themselves from existing socialist states / attempts, but nowadays liberals will call even these ultralefts “tankies” for having the temerity to stand against Israel’s genocide. Its just a term to punch left.
I’m simply saying that giving one man absolute power whether it be political
This is standard anti-communist propaganda that unfortunately happens to work on gullible people. It’s related to medieval era witch hunting, where you:
Its a really effective tactic that lets you blame a single entity, encourages conformity and intentional ignorance, lets westerners ignore the functioning democracies of socialist states, and the mass movements that supported these various leaders.
Go back to reddit.


A “cease fire” is when Israel just continues to murder as many civilians as they were before without repercussions.
Damn. The pedophile elite were probably workshopping how to take advantage of its success in their campaigns for weeks then.


Adding /s is always a good idea. No matter how wild we think a statement sounds, there’s someone on the internet who believes it 100%.
Plus it helps a lot of groups who you might not think about get your tone: ppl with cognitive disabilities, ppl learning english, or ppl who tend to take everything at face value.
Capitalist dictatorship (IE liberal / bourgeios “democracy”) by definition is corrupt, in that it is a form of goverment where propertied and rich interests control the country, to the detriment of its exploited workers, who have no say or representation in their government. You’re “free” to yell into the void as long as your complaints don’t affect anything, at which point your movement will be crushed violently.
Its pure projection that liberals call every other form of government that challenges their rule a “dictatorship”, and rely on decades of ingrained anti-communist cold-war propaganda to cement it.
Unfortunately many people accept their propaganda willingly without challenging the cold-war dogma, or looking into how actually or previously existing socialist states had functional, substantive democracy, not the fake “democracy in name only” that liberal countries are selling you.
One of the best US history books. Some links and a one line review:
J. Sakai - Settlers: the Mythology of the White Proletariat, audiobook. The most important US history book. Analyzes the US’s settler-colonialist foundations, its history of genocide, exploitation, social bribery, and the spoils that went to those who willingly absorbed into whiteness and the murican dream (even if they had to kill indians to get some cheap land to do so.) Excellent and unique analysis of FDR’s new deal as the bribery and absorption of the labor movement into the murican dream.
Use the ProxyAllImages mode for that.
This feature of pictrs didn’t used to exist, but in the next version of lemmy, it should be the default.


Don’t take the precious! Smeagol wants it!
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Not a nation of immigrants, but a settler colony based on indigenous eviction and genocide.
Like 15 years behind much of the world.
They’re already torrent audiobooks with links, the youtube is just a backup for ease of use. Uploading all of them (it’s hundreds of files) to peertube wouldn’t be worth it.
