      yes, which is why anyone calling for “left unity” makes us suspicious.

        all authoritarianism is bad, all hierarchies are bad. not sure how you plan to get anything accomplished being nice to capitalists but good luck! no hierarchies going to get you crushed by a semi modern army. so many anarchists want to skip the work and get right to utopia.

          I mean they're right about that though, the institutions we build in struggle need to prefigure the institutions we want to have when we win.

            I don't think prefigurative politics really makes sense, it's utopian almost by definition. A DotP is not prefigurative in any meaningful sense.

              I mean I don't believe in the Marxist progression of history, it doesn't stand up with modern evidence. It's more of a practical matter: if you want something to be a certain way you've got to make it happen. You'll of course have to compromise at points, but don't start with the compromise

                    I forgot the comm this was in. Alright, the Paris Commune is an example of the manner in which prefigurative communism fails, as the communal society was not able to resist capitalist encirclement even remotely. It's the classic example of the problem with utopian projects.

              I keep accounts on a lot of other right wing extremist websites too. It lets me keep track of dangerous groups.

              For instance, I was active on kiwifarms for years. That obviously doesn’t mean I support them.

                  I’ve helped take a lot of authoritarians off of the internet and I will keep doing that. You all eventually self-doxx.

                    So I interpret this as a threat to dox hexbear users?

                    In the spectrum of political action you could take outside of organizations (which I would suggest, go into some collectives) you decide to dox people creating and participating safe spaces for trans people online (since you label their brand of political action as authoritarian or as tolerant of authoritarianism you see in pretty much any ML form).

                    This means you are purging leftist elements instead of trying to broaden or create bases of power or free spaces for anti hierarchical ideologies. Sounds pretty authoritarian to me.

                Ron DeSantis and Jeff Bezos thank you for your vigilance. Cops and landlords too.

                I'd love to hear who or what group you imagine we're a danger to that you consider in need of your protection.

                  they seem to genuinely think that everyone on this site wants to genocide trans people even though over half the admin and mod team are trans and so is much of the userbase 🙄

                  those evil fascist trans people, so scary! indistinguishable from a random chud in a swamp

                    They really gotta step up their game. Gotta hustlegrind for some real actionable threats of violence to report to the FBI if they wanna get that sweet sweet wooden medal.

                Ah, active, not lurking. Doesn't surprise me that an anticommunist also shares other fascist views.
