when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

So if I have this right. The reason for the ML transition to communism is to have a force that keeps the bourgeoisie from taking back control. That may not be exactly what happened in the USSR, but what about Cuba?
Anarchism is preparing for the inevitable death of capitalism. Do we have time for that with where our climate is at? How do we stop atrocities like Palestine within that framework?
What made you realise that tankies and Marxism Leninism wasn't actually pro working class?
Mainly the use of an oppressive authoritarian state, as well as the overwhelming evidence of some messed up things some ML nations have done. I know some evidence has been skewed by propaganda, but my point still stands. I've never liked the state, and I believe you can't actually be for the working class when you set up a new state and ruling class
#i agree with the anti hierarchical principals of anarchism#but I'm currently still of the belief that we need to meet the world where it's at#which unfortunately includes some leadership to set up the institutions that communities will control

Perhaps this will be thought of as being too woke but it's really discouraging that people are constantly inventing new reasons to think of people with slow reaction times or who misunderstand instructions as evil or idiotic or soulless. Like complaining about older people having a blank stare while they try to process what the barista said or whatever. Oh, they have the evil bad people lead poisoning. They're brain damaged. They have Facebook brainrot. They're NPCs, whatever, etc. As someone with bad sensory processing from psychosis and ADHD (you people can't do anything haha I know omg disabled person is disabled) I so often end up lagging there trying to understand what I'm supposed to do. I have trouble reading the instructions on the keypad, I have trouble processing the push or pull on the door, I have trouble processing the words being said to me and following instructions. You can still think I'm a piece of shit customer and that's fine but going online and seeing people act like this behavior makes you subhuman and non-concious is soooo depressing
