He sucks

Any particular reason why you think this?

Just asking about him because I was listening to the Rev Left episode on Salvador Allende and the history professor that got brought on mentioned his name as one of the thinkers that Juan De Marchi introduced Allende to at when he was starting to develop his political identity

Bakunin was essentially an inconsistent anarchist whose entire worldview was constructed out of hating Jews

Preciate this a lot, one thinker I can for sure sidestep

Everyday I become more and more anti "populist"

Anarchist’s who “just want a peaceful collaborative economy” when they see right wing populists 😍😍😍

This is more for the "not right not left but forward" crowd.

Read your aunties whatsapp group chats and tell me you believe in democracy

Real

Welcome to the s***ty 20s

I'm a right wing monarchist now we must retvrn

Even just listen to your coworkers tbh... everyone talks about the whatsapp uncles but they were young at some point

Brazilian integralists won

i mean yeah, but at the same time idk how ppl can be presented certain information and not be critical of the systems in place

at least at my uni there’s quite a few teaching staff that encourage these conversations

then again most of the people i’ve met in this degree aren’t the brightest so…

Often for me it comes back to it being painful to actually embrace reality and grapple with it.

Let's take war for example if you don't dehumanize your enemy and paint them as the greatest evil the world has ever seen and your side as the valiant soldiers defending your loved ones and ideals,

you're just killing another one of you out there for some government that doesn't give a s*** about you so an economic arrangement can be closer to what said govt wants etc...

And that's not a compelling reason to fight lmao

I'm generalizing here but I feel like most people are like, I want to: 1. go to college 2. get a degree in something i can get a job in that will pay my bills 3. go out for drinks 4. find someone so im not alone

type s***... politics and economics (as far as how it affects populations where it matters) isn't really something ppl dig into

Look at my liberals dog

what is it with Canadians and Ukrainian nazis

anticommunist try not to champion nazism challenge

Bunch of Ukrainian nazis moved here after world War 2 and the government helped them take control of the existing community

yeah I heard that's where the whole post-war holodomor narrative first started

It's older than that but yeah they had a big hand in spreading it with the world anti communist league and all those freaks

This guy is like Bolsonaro on speed lol

if your implication is the holodomor as a whole is nazi fabrication then you can f*** off- it was a brutal man made famine by a bunch of lunatics. i don’t understand what you personally have to gain from spouting this vile nonsense. you can oppose any and all crimes against humanity and be consistent. belief in holodomor occurs all across ukrainian politics, the party of regions upheld its validity

if you’re saying that there’s a certain spin on it that’s nazi then ok fair enough

Damn you're spittin

F*** stalin 100 million dead

i’m sure there’s a lot of exaggeration but that doesn’t mean he was good

he was an incompetent lunatic who got bailed out by Zhukov
