It’s Volkish
Hey!
Edit: This guy’s cool, I can vouch for him
I’ve already doxxed myself like 100 times here
Yes, but have you considered that these dangerous bikes might make that necessary suffering caused by cars even worse? Think about the drivers!
I was just summarizing for the people who are too lazy to go read anything and will just stop here
The conversation was you linking a Wikipedia article, I was at least hoping you’d link like a book or something. Like we could have a discussion if you were trying to argue against authoritarianiam as defined by say Bakunin or some other anarchist thinker.
Then I could respond with On Authority which argues that authority is a natural consequence of any organization and calling something authoritarian just means you’re saying that it’s a system that is able to successfully reproduce itself.
You could also try to link “authoritarianism” to fascism, but again that is pointless because there’s already a term for fascism, which is Fascism.
POTUS -> TUSP (The United States President)
CIA -> CAI (Central Agency of Intelligence)
FBI -> BFI (Bureau of Federal Investigation)
It’s fun to just change around acronyms for official governing bodies. I’m gonna go edit Wikipedia to include these as common abbreviations too
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is required reading for any communist
All states are authoritarian. Where do you think all the authority comes from?
A state having authority isn’t always a bad thing though, the current state is really great if you’re a white male property owner!
And those guys won’t be too happy if you take that state away from them, so whatever comes next would need the authority to resist that counter-revolution.
But that’s authoritarian, so we should just let them take back over and keep doing the authoritarianism that supports their interests.
I have yet to actually see a big emote, as the hex bear frontend keeps them small, but this comment out of context is great
Primitive accumulation is a bad term. It works if you’ve read the theory behind it, but otherwise it sounds like someone saving up a bunch of money then starting a successful business compared to what it is which was colonial genocide, enclosure of the commons, and mass starvation as people were ripped from agricultural labor and cast into the factories and mines to work for feudal lords turned industrial capitalists.
I think it’s someone who does a lot of nitrous oxide at Phish concerts
There are many of them!
I’m also very interested in a more clear definition of what this instance considers “Kremlin propaganda”
Is posting Russian music Kremlin Propaganda? Is linking an RT news article Kremlin propaganda? Is Al Jazeera Kremlin propaganda? Is there a list of allowed/non-Kremlin propaganda news sources we need to use?
Is the Kremlin propaganda limited to the past 20 years or is posting old Soviet art and literature also considered Kremlin propaganda? Is posting articles from Seymour Hersch Kremlin propaganda? Is posting Blowback podcast episodes Kremlin propaganda?
Can I share opinions on the works of Lenin and Marx or is socialist literature that came out of the Russian revolution also considered Kremlin propaganda?
This term is incredibly broad and not very useful unless you’re being explicitly anti-communist or are being xenophobic towards Russians.
I understand the sentiment “no propaganda”, but you also never clarified if posting Western propaganda is also taboo. Can I post NPR and Federalist articles? Can I share stuff from BBC and the Economist? Am I allowed to share an NBC story sponsored by Lockheed Martin about the new high tech MANPADS the US is sending to Ukraine?
I just want some clear examples of what is considered propaganda and what the lines on this are.

An absolute disgrace can you believe it? They’re coming for me because I’m the best they’re scared of me. Who wouldn’t be scared of me I’m a scary guy not as scary as those North Korean boarder guards but I’m a scary guy
The video is just dumb. She mentions Marx, and fails to even understand that the whole academic concept of Capitalism actually derives from his work and instead acts like Capitalism is just a basic term for an economic system that uses an exchange medium.
She’s good with physics, but holy shit does this make her look bad. She needs to actually read something about this topic before opening her mouth.
The whole video is just capitalism == money and buying a banana with money is easier than buying it with the products of your labor. Which again just comes off as incredibly uninformed because that whole argument is addressed and picked apart in the first chapter of Capital.
