Thats not really a cogent definition of fascism, you’ve got to look at the material changes as liberalism moves into fascism not just the rhetoric

It isnt first past the post. It is bourgeois democracy. Things would be the same if there was one party or twenty so long as the bourgeoisie own the state.

What are you talking about? Liberals are bigots. https://youtu.be/3cdqQ2BdgOA?si=6cbhpxi0iegbDmJJ

Reminder that the OUN, which helped do the holocaust, used the phrase “Slava Ukraini” as their motto

Reality. bourgeois hegemony

Well, what happens when the guy doing physical assault wants you on his side vs the verbal abuse guy? Thats the US running propaganda on China.

Not being threatened with homelessmess would have helped me infinitely more than the right to be married.

tankie seeing everything as a power struggle

Anarchists are also rightfully obsessed with criticizing hierarchy and power what are you talking about? What do you think being an anarchist means?

Breaking news: White gay man doesn’t recognize his privilege within the broader queer community, and now the weather

I’m not aware of any queer anarchist critiques that don’t acknowledge that marriage, especially as recognized by the state, is a patriarchal institution, they just go on to elaborate how that can be subverted within queer culture. Do you have any links or recommendations for writings that argue that marriage recognized by the state isn’t a patriarchal institution at all?

The critique of marriage as a patriarchal institution was invented by anarchists lmao. I’m just a “tankie” but I’m well read on anarchist lit, why aren’t you as an anarchist?

Yeah lmao

As a transbian, fuck no it isnt, that is liberal bullshit. Marriage is a patriarchal institution.

Oh, the country where after ww2 a waffen ss tattoo would get you in.

Are you really suggesting the DPRK is worse than Qatar? Lmao.

Only the US will kill 20 percent of a population, establish a right wing military dictatorship in the south, and paint the democratic and progressive north as an evil regime worse than an absolute monarchy.

I’d argue you’re just describing vulgar idealist(as opposed to materialism, not cynicism) philosophy.

What I meant was that if we didn’t have it to start with, things would’ve likely still developed albeit much more slowly.

I dont think we will ever know, but Im not sure I agree. I dont know what the landscape would look like without relying on open source and patent theft. A lot of the stuff would probably not be financially viable.

I work in software development. Almost all modern architecture would collapse without the open source ecosystem.

:gulp:

I have no formal training in philosophy maybe I need to read less philosophy if philosophy undergrads aren’t being exposed to it

suppose you could make an argument that a non-communist dialectical materialist is also a Marxist

That’s my argument

though I’ve never seen it used that way in practice.

Sometimes capitalists spout marxist shit and it is recorded. Marxist capitalists are the worst because they have an understanding of the contradictions their counterparts dont. More commonly there are non communist Marxists in philosophy.

I agree that almost all Marxists are communists, I just felt your initial response was a simplification that lost more meaning in the simplification than it necessarily needed to.
