I 'am' an anarcho-communist and I don't like libtards. Libtards to me are 'progressive capitalists' that have no systemic insight what so ever and think all it takes to bring upon heaven on earth is to try and be nice.

I mean, you should try and be nice obviously but you are not going to soy latte your way outta this my dudes.

Friend I'm not a friend of liberals myself but can we please not use ableistic terms that end with "-tard"?

Reserve that shit for the right wing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Ok, even though I know this will make no difference to 'you people' (sorry just cannot help myself xD).

In this case I choose to use this specific word because it's so obviously a dogwhistle for right wing extremists that in the context of this meme I think it's funny, since my actual stance is neither authoritarian or rightwing.

I don't seriously mean to perpetuate negative stereotypes with regards to people with mental handicaps.

Just as a curiosity, are you by any chance from the US? I just cannot imagine anyone from Europe making such a big deal about a joke like this, let alone use the term ableist.

I guess my brain has just rotted as a result of a few decades of being on the internet. Inside i'm still an edgy teen apparently. No actual offense meant :)

I am the only true leftist. The rest of you are posers and/or feds.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

look, tankies aren't leftists, they are fascists wearing the skin of the lefties they killed

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fascism isn't just authoritarianism. It is a certain set of conditions that can essentially be boiled down to as "colonial violence against the imperial core" but it is incredibly more complicated than that.

Words have meaning, and you should look up those meanings before you start just throwing them around.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Words DO have meaning, and you just butchered so many of them it's not even funny.

fundamentally, fascism is the belief that social hierarchies are not only natural but preferable to any other social system that attempts to disrupt said natural order, all other aspects of fascism stem from this one line of understanding

Do you know what the word 'liberal' actually means

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Open-minded, permissive, tolerant

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It means you support capitalism, hence why "liberalization of the economy" means selling off public utilities, land, housing, and resources.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You cannot be open minded, tolerant and support human rights and freedoms while opposing capitalism. If you oppose capitalism - you're pretty much an authoritarian shill.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Care to elaborate? Why is wanting to democratize production more authoritarian than wanting many competing dictators?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because capitalism is what allows to democratize production.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Definitionally, it cannot. Capitalism is individual ownership, Socialism is collective ownership. By definition, workers in Capitalism have no real say.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Capitalism is individual ownership, That's the key! It gives you all the rights and freedoms to create your own business and lead it the way YOU see fit. By definition, Capitalism doesn't have workers or other classes, everyone is equal. Socialism is an authoritarian ideology, which puts the needs of a social construct (a virtual entity, if you prefer) over the needs, rights and freedoms of an individual. One must be very delusional to support authoritarian socialist ideas in any way, shape or form.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Individual rights to become a Capital Owner and exploit the majority of society is by definition class society. In Socialism, there are no classes, because ownership is shared. There are no Capitalists exploiting workers.

You don't know enough about Socialism or Capitalism to discuss either.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

No, you don't know enough if you think that equal freedoms and rights lead to "exploitation" and "classes" while inherently authoritarian ideology means there are no classes. Like, lol, what kind of lunacy is that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Workers do not have equal rights with Owners.

How is democratic ownership of Capital "inherently authoritarian?"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Once again, there are no workers. Learn some basics first.

Who do Capitalists employ? Fairies?

...what? Do you know what a "job" is?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mate, are you really 13 years old or something?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You outright stated that nobody is employed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, I've never said that. You're actually 13, omg...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You did, lol. Can't be employed if there'a nobody employing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mate, once again, there are NO workers. Let that sink in. Then we can continue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What do you call someone who works a job? A jobber?

You have a fundamentally entirely different definition of terms from the rest of Humanity.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

can't be bothered to argue with tankies that had an anvil dropped on their head as a baby.
