The country with over 20% of the world's prison population and a highly militarised police force that routinely carries out extrajudicial killings of ethnic minorities is not ever described as "authoritarian". Somehow.

Show me anywhere in the world that has open Nazi units serving in the military.

Show me anywhere in the world that openly celebrates Nazis as national holidays.

Show me anywhere in the world that renames streets, shopping malls, stadiums after Nazis.

Show me anywhere in the world that runs Nazi indoctrination camps for children.

I can show you all of these for Ukraine.

Over to you. Darling.

Ukraine has a serious Nazi problem. You're going to have to grow up and learn to deal with the real world.

My experience with anarchists since the start of this war has completely destroyed any faith I had in it being any kind of honestly held or principled ideology. It's simply a set of excuses for liberals to pretend they're progressives and nothing much more. Jumping from one American imperialist propaganda point to the next seamlessly, from Libya to Xinjiang, Taiwan to Ukraine. It's just a right wing Libertarian's idea of what a leftist is.

Average 9gagger? Average liberal Westerner more like.

Basically, can anybody give me a resource for the anarchist perspective that debunks why, with still a class society, it’s fine to do smash the state day 1 after the revolution?

Nobody can give you this because it's an idealistic nonsense. But you're asking the wrong people anyway. You should ask in an anarchist lemmy. I predict that they won't be able to respond except with dishonesty and self delusion.

BUT AT WHAT COST!?!? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

Thanks, wasn't aware.

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

As a means, it's good. As an end, it's bad.

It's a nothing argument really. Some people are just making blog posts pretending that those who "support multipolarity" are going to claim Mission Accomplished once it's there and never be active again.

The wording could be better, it's meant that they're not liable for hiring kids since they can say that they didn't know, are not responsible for knowing.

I watched this in the cinema with about 5 or 6 friends when it came out. All of them thought it was terrible because it was "praising of militarism" or something. None of them got the satire dripping from every frame. I was dumbfounded.

In later years I found out that this is a phenomenon with not only the movie, but the book too. There's some kind of cognitive disconnect, some inability to see, for what is glaringly obvious to others, the bald fact of the sarcasm and parody of the USA and fascism going on here.

Look at the top review on goodreads!

Here is a perfect example of us fucking up like this.

We have to be calm and mature and assume good faith until it's clearly been demonstrated that there's none. Even those people are not beyond saving. We're the adults in the room after all.

Good catch, I should have posted some.

Which is which?

Or normies show up and take over?

This is actually OC. (not the comic itself, just the VoCMF text...)

A holocaust denial comic from a far right website called forxfordcomics. I thought I'd turn it around and use it for good.

Yeah that is a surprise. I guess there's going to be a lot of libs around for the coming period. We'll have to just bear through it.
