And all these people think Israel are the good guys? I wonder what their opinions about apartheid South Africa were at the time.

Israel was explicitly founded as a settler-colonial project, you can look up quotes from famous founding zionists.

“You are being invited to help make history ... it doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews ... How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.”

The guys doing the genocide and the guys fighting the genocide and for a secular democracy are the same actually /s

If she is okay with things you should leave it alone, lest you put pressure on her to orgasm which is like, one of the least sexy things I can think of.

You can enjoy sex without orgasming. Sometimes my partner or I will opt for strap sex even though it is harder for both of us to orgasm because it feels nice/scratches a different itch. If she wanted to orgasm during sex she'd probably start masturbating to make it easier to do.

Talk to your partner about it

Are the real qualifications a caliper set and an unwillingness to talk about what they used to do before they got a position in the west German military?

Contentment is easier to find than happiness

It is incel/manosphere shit

We decided that our ‘Northern Star’ or guiding principle would culminate as ‘Be Nice’ with purposefully vague/flexible interpretations. Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons.

Oh look, someone failed to absorb one of the lessons of Letter from Birmingham jail

https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html

Sex work is work, and work (tying your capacity for labor to your continued survival) is bad. Sex workers should be supported like any member of the proletariat

Sex labor on the other hand? Sure as long as you have removed the exploitive element that comes with work.

That is what I try to communicate to folks who are freaking out about Trump. You have to worry about the next guy, and the next guy, and the next guy. You can't just keep voting Democrat, you actually have to get organized if you want to stop fascism, because Trump isn't the font that fascism springs from, he is an inept conman who is riding the wave.

"No homo" immediately after having sex for the first time, we have been together for 8 years now

(We are lesbians this isn't homophobia)

Going a step further, the idea of authoritarian. Every ideology with a state relies on some type of authority to function, as a term it is an attempt at equating fascism and communism and serves as holocaust trivialization.

You can't educate your way out of the logic of capitalism. These folks are optimizing return on investment, not human utility. The system is working as intended, why would they change it?

About negative peace and the white moderate

Equating Hitler and Stalin or Nazi Germany and the USSR is holocaust trivialization, according to Jewish holocaust scholars. Dovid Katz did a popular article on it that you can probably search.

As someone who's read Marx and lenin, and Bakunin and Goldman... not to mention kroptikin(god damn that guy bullshat his way through conquest of bread)

The anarchists always decry practical steps that are needed for the transition, but they have a poverty of ideas when it comes to propose better alternative solutions to the problems faced by actual revolutions. And frankly, reading their literature I understand why. They're still hung up on ideas and values and not material analysis much more than MLs. They're still trapped within liberal hegemonic thought though they are against liberal capitalism.

Marxist organizating and running a political education program. I swear to God I'm going to (redacted) when we have the resources to expand into adult literacy.

And slutting about I suppose.

You're more likely to get a socialist revolution than democrats and Republicans getting rid of FPTP at a significant enough level to matter.

Socialism requires that the workers have democratic control over the means of production. Nordic countries are not socialist, the working class isn't in control there.

Underdeveloped take from Dessalines: the bourgeoisie love to promote bigotry while covering themselves in a cloak of progressivism

Undialectical take, people are constantly changing. Now it may take a lot of quantitative changes for the qualitative affect of not having their head in their ass to come about given how far in there it is, but..

I hate it when threads like this make me have to repeatedly post the mainstream Jewish holocaust historian "stop conflating fascism and communism" article

https://jewishcurrents.org/the-double-genocide-theory

so even though it’s fallen into fascist oligarchy,

You know any left wing project after being overthrown by the US would also end up a fascist oligarchy right? As was the case with the illegal and undemocratic dissolution of the Soviet Union brought about by the US.

Highlights include

Funny how we constantly get told we support capitalist Russia, yet they never actually provide evidence for that.

I'm not surprised tho as lying about communists seems to be second nature to Western bootlickers

And

i love how that dude makes an absolutely ridiculous assumption, as i've never seen a "tankie" deny that current russia is reactionary as fuck, but since he's saying Bad Thing about The Tankies everyone just goes "hmm yea those tankies amirite? smh"

liberals are fucking idiots, they never have any idea of what they're actually talking about and just throw around concepts and categories with the level of understanding of a monkey playing with a power tool

And

"We support the Russian Federation's opposition to US imperialism. We oppose their reactionary government including the state suppression of lgbtq+ people, minority nationalities and ethnic groups, etc. Using these issues as cudgels for US/NATO imperialism hurts all people in Russia, including oppressed minorities, and undermines the progressive nature of those liberation struggles in that country."

"Smdh tankies are pro-russia homophobes"

If you want to say you like how I look compliment one of the grooming, fashion, or accessory choices, and I'll get the hint.

Hell, compliment my muscles. Literally just compliment anything I have agency over.

They don't, you've fallen for anti-communist disinfo

The Nazis couldn't have done the holocaust without IBM, yeah.

To add a disclaimer, I am specifically talking about the largest and more stable projects, anarchosyndicalism during the Spanish civil war and the free ukrainian state during the Russian Revolution

They absolutely did, their inability to coordinate and make compromises during wartime absolutely led to their failures as revolutions.

I mean are you looking for theory or actual anarchist practice?

Because in practice the best anarchism has done is war communism but less organized, less democratic, and less efficient than the communists, and the worst they've done is basically a military dictatorship that accidentally empowered kulaks to do pogroms, and if you ask modern anarchists the takeaways from these programs and what to do better in the future, 9/10 times(being generous) they'll just repeat a "stabbed in the back by tankies" narrative which shows they really haven't learned from their history.

But hey… bring it on.

It is a self dunk to get combative when someone asks you what books you've read on a subject you're opining about

It is antisemitic to equate valid criticism of the apartheid state of Israel with antisemitism.

Yeah, what is next, "down with south Africa!" during apartheid?

Here is a shitty little secret: as long as you are clean and look clean your physical appearance isn't the problem.

You either haven't had time to interact with enough people to find someone compatible, you dont know how to treat the people you're interested in dating like they're normal people, or you don't have the spaces to meet people in.

Yes, the Spanish anarchists were unsuccessful because Stalin, and not because they refused to be integrated with the popular front(which even the fucking liberals joined), including militarily until the war was already well lost, which made coordinated actions against the fascists with the popular front impossible

The lessons of the Spanish civil war dont reflect well on the anarchist movement there.

nothing to do with profit margins, it’s just pure greed

???

Based on a survey done of four people by literally a German fascist who believes God gave him a mission to destroy China, sure.

I’m less worried about that, not because there aren’t evil people among the Democrats, but because the Democrats are positioning themselves as the anti-fascist party at the moment. Starting up a fascist movement of their own at the moment would be bad business.

Their rhetoric sure is, but if you look at their actual policies they're continuing and escalating some of the worst things Trump did. Migrant concentration camps, massive police funding increases, worsening security and surveillance laws, the whole nine yards.

Also, fascism is the reassertion of the dominance of financial capital over the system and the democrats take money from the banks just as much as the Republicans.

Hey, just cause I disagree with their analysis doesn't mean I haven't read it.

For example, forming a secret vanguard party isn't the way to anarchism, and the Kronstadt rebellion wasn't the pinnacle of revolution, even though the Soviets fucked up their response to it.

And you would know what I'm referring to if you've read some of their main works.
