AES and history continue to exist in a world with the external pressure of capitalism, which is why it bounces back. You can’t know if it’s inherent until capitalism is removed. If it is the case that it is inherent, you will find yourself with significantly more allies than now, but the only way to gain those allies is through defeating capitalism.
I’m sorry you are unable to see outside of this binary. I am a communist in that I work towards communism, I recognize that I don’t know what the end form looks like and it may very well look like anarchism, but I also have the ability to recognize that there needs to be a transitionary phase where we end capitalism first and that may require slightly more centralization for a short time. It’s quite easy to see that while capitalism still exists, the most continually successful resistance at scale requires centralization to be sure to can be rooted out. No one likes the symptoms of an antibiotic, but it’s the only way to rid us of some pathogens, and you don’t keep taking antibiotics after the pathogen is gone because it can hurt the body.
Libertarianism has been broadly shaped by liberal ideas.
From your article.
As far as I understand, right wingers do like liberals because they are liberals. They just don’t like the (minimally) more progressive liberals that recognize more humans as people that also get those rights.
You dropped this
What’s your review of the book? I think this is a great format to promote reading theory!

I was about to recommend a Linus Torvalds Prayer candle but they dont exist T.T
If they didn’t say “not a single one,” then I couldn’t break their argument with a very simple example of how that’s not true. Maybe we instead recognize that it wouldn’t be at the same pace of acceleration, but she had no interest in dismantling ICE as far as she stated. Even if she kept it at the same level as before means she’d’ve been keeping it at the level that Trump left it with.
She promised to continue what Biden was doing, which included continuing to run ICE, so no, not “not a single one.”
1·4 days agoI appreciate the thought put into this :)
every mind that is now a fascist is a mind that could have become a socialist if we had gotten to them first.
I struggle to believe that every fascist can no longer become a socialist because they weren’t turned onto it first, though I guess that can depend where one defines the “is a fascist” line.
And I don’t care about perfect movements; better to have tried than not. The only reason AES states are celebrated at all is because they continue to exist. I’d love some actual examples of how they continue to “smother” other organizations. Show me some AEA locations/movements/orgs that have successfully resisted, at the very least, western imperialist influence. And yes I am going to celebrate China moving nearly ¾bil out of poverty, if you’re refusing to appreciate the small wins of AES, then you don’t really care about material improvements to peoples lives.
