Not surprising at all tbh

The community does not get to authoritarianily decide what someone can and can not do with their own body, and what they can and can’t consume. If it is allowed this will inevitably become the new form of oppression

Pretty good. Although not very anarchist to go about banning people from drinking alcohol

America is just too car centric

I seriously never ever see a liberal consider reproductive labor as a form of work that should never compensated. Pretty disturbing tbh

This is pretty accurate

Maybe, I’ll look into it.

Because not everyone in the group is on this site. And also we’re going to do a voice call to discuss it

Not everyone in this group is on lemmy. And also we’re planning on getting on a voice call to discuss the text

The reason it’s on signal is because a lot of the people that use it aren’t on lemmy at all. They come from mastodon and raddle and places like that. Also we usually discuss the texts over a voice call instead of just on a forum

Because fuck authority. Governments have always existed to oppress the masses, and and also take away power from people so they don’t govern themselves

Instead of saying I’m an anarchist I talk about things from an anarchist perspective without mentioning the word “anarchy”. I usually will defend communism because I consider myself communist, but if you mean socalled “communist” states, I’ll usually point out that none of them were actually communist

It is CBS news though so not like anyone should actually watch them anyways

Debate it, already got a decent idea about what it is

ML is goo difficult for me to engage in because there’s too much defense of stalin I find tbh. Maybe I’ll check out hexbear though

“Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation” this describes the USSR pretty well. The US is also bordering on fascism, but that has little to do with the USSR. Those weren’t really labor camps so much as they were POW camps for fascist opponents. Also what’s your opinion on north korea?

Fascism is about power not private property. Not sure where you got that Spanish anarchists operated labor camps as I can’t see any evidence for that online but even if that was true, a system can’t be said not to be fascist because someone else did it. Having forced labor camps is fascist regardless. Also you say that they sought to repress those critical of socialism or communism, but it was usually used to repress basic forms of expression and those critical of the leaders.

How was the gulag system not fascist? Along with it’s heavy surveillance and censorship state?

The soviet union and north korea are the most obvious examples as both of them followed ML

You could look up the anarchist front in iran and Afghanistan. That’s not Iraq obviously but might interest you
