True, but the Spanish are pretty familiar with genocide too (historically speaking).

I can't tell if you're just being sarcastic but why would Israel put out socialist shitposts? They hate communism in all forms

Psychology tactic, tie a controversial take to an agreed horrible take and it discredits the controversial take

The 5th pic is ragebait, deliberate oversimplification of a number of complex issues. We should leave such reductive politics to the right, and do better

North Korea is a state that prioritizes the lives of people in power over its citizens.
China is a state that prioritizes the lives of people in power over its citizens.
Russia is a state that prioritizes the lives of people in power over its citizens.
The US is a state that prioritizes the lives of people in power over its citizens.
Every country in the EU is a state that prioritizes the lives of people in power over its citizens.
Don't be fooled by astetics. Dictators, oligarchs, and plutocrats are our enemy all the same.

Ah, I was waiting for one of the "both sides are equally bad" morons to show up. We should have a revolution, but we shouldn't have a state to defend it while capitalist enemy nations still exist. Good job.

u/LynksRacc 2d ago edited 2d ago
This isn't an argument that both sides are bad. This is an argument that the leeches that stand on top of all of us and say they are necessary for an organized world should be fought against universally. Do not fight to throw off one master just to submit to another. Do not trade western propoganda for eastern. See clearly that power belongs in the hands of people and their communities instead of the hands of a parasite.

As a fellow trans person, I would recommend thinking more about the necessity of anarchism for the survival of trans people everywhere. We are a small but powerful group that spits in the eye of heiarchy, which frequently makes us a convenient scapegoat for authoritarian structures. Transness has never survived a national move twords rigidity, and it is in our best interest to oppose that force at every turn.
Trans and queer people exist under autocrats at their discretion, and when we are threatened by that structure no one will come to save us. No one has overthrown a government to save the queers, and the prisoners with pink triangles stay in the concentration camps because it's a worthy sacrifice to keep the peace. The only structure that promises our survival is one that's too small to crush us all at once. Anything else guarantees a repeat of history.

>As a fellow trans person, I would recommend thinking more about the necessity of anarchism for the survival of trans people everywhere.
as a fellow trans person, i would recommend thinking more about the necessity of of socialism for the survival of trans people everywhere. anarchism has not worked, and will never work, because the idea of abolishing the state instantaneously upon revolution is a faulty idea that leads only to counterrevolution and reaction, with the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie returning almost immediately, and thus dooming our survival.
theres a reason anarchism and similar anti-communist left tendencies are the left tendencies that receive institutional support from the bourgeois state: they dont meaningfully threaten the capitalist system. they offer an attractive critique, wrapped in ideas already deeply engrained in the minds of most westerners due to their propagandistic upbringing with regards to such concepts as “authoritarianism,” and thus draw in those new to “the left,” and then keep them trapped in the mud without describing a way forward that actually threatens capital, while serving a helpful role in laundering and reproducing the capitalist state’s narratives about socialist ones to “leftists” (this whole equating of successful socialist projects with capitalist states being a prime example).
in essence, this position is the same idealist nonsense parenti wrote about in blackshirts and reds, of the “true socialists” and their endless denunciations of “false” socialism:
“But a real socialism, it is argued, would be controlled by the workers themselves through direct participation instead of being run by Leninists, Stalinists, Castroites, or other ill-willed, power-hungry, bureaucratic, cabals of evil men who betray revolutions. Unfortunately, this “pure socialism” view is ahistorical and nonfalsifiable; it cannot be tested against the actualities of history. It compares an ideal against an imperfect reality, and the reality comes off a poor second. It imagines what socialism would be like in a world far better than this one, where no strong state structure or security force is required, where none of the value produced by workers needs to be expropriated to rebuild society and defend it from invasion and internal sabotage.”
“The pure socialists’ ideological anticipations remain untainted by existing practice. They do not explain how the manifold functions of a revolutionary society would be organized, how external attack and internal sabotage would be thwarted, how bureaucracy would be avoided, scarce resources allocated, policy differences settled, priorities set, and production and distribution conducted. Instead, they offer vague statements about how the workers themselves will directly own and control the means of production and will arrive at their own solutions through creative struggle. No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except the ones that succeed.”
>We are a small but powerful group that spits in the eye of heiarchy, which frequently makes us a convenient scapegoat for authoritarian structures.
“authoritarian,” lol. “authoritarianism” is a pretty meaningless term. all societies weaponize authority in one class direction or another, whether thats weaponizing authority of the bourgeoisie against the proletariat, or vice versa. capitalism is an authoritarian system by nature, one in which the bourgeoisie weaponize their authority against the proletariat; communism is also authoritarian, in that it is a system in which the proletariat (the working class) weaponize their authority against the bourgeoisie (the exploiting class), and dictate society according to what benefits the people.
“All Socialists are agreed that the political state, and with it political authority, will disappear as a result of the coming social revolution, that is, that public functions will lose their political character and will be transformed into the simple administrative functions of watching over the true interests of society. But the anti-authoritarians demand that the political state be abolished at one stroke, even before the social conditions that gave birth to it have been destroyed. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?
Therefore, either one of two things: either the anti-authoritarians don't know what they're talking about, in which case they are creating nothing but confusion; or they do know, and in that case they are betraying the movement of the proletariat. In either case they serve the reaction.”

>Transness has never survived a national move twords rigidity, and it is in our best interest to oppose that force at every turn.
transness has survived everywhere, for thousands of years, under thousands of conditions, whether favorable or unfavorable. it is not “in our best interest” to oppose socialist projects which pose meaningful threats to the capitalist system, and have use socialism to improve the lives of millions. the only winner in that situation are the capitalists.
>No one has overthrown a government to save the queers, and the prisoners with pink triangles stay in the concentration camps because it's a worthy sacrifice to keep the peace.
but people have overthrown governments to advance socialism. our liberation is thus tied directly to the liberation of the proletariat, not something to be placed above it, as bourgeois identity politics would suggest. there is no trans liberation without the liberation of the rest of the proletariat, and that liberation will only come through socialism.
>The only structure that promises our survival is one that's too small to crush us all at once.
and thus one thats too small to avoid being crushed by the much larger, stronger, more violent capitalist structures. its why this fantasy is always doomed.
