A cis man calling himself "feminist" makes about as much sense as a capitalist calling himself "communist/anarchist"

In a nutshell, this is why (along w/ how strongly it is rooted in class, patriarchal, racial, imperial relations of domination) liberalism is completely BS

Good opportunity to bring back this banger from Marcuse, probably one of my favorite critiques/quotes/remarks on the nature of liberalism

The numbers of feminicides are horrible everywhere, but let's not fail to highlight how fucking disastrous it is in Latin America. It's by definition undercounts ofc, but for comparison as of right now in France they've counted 152...

Btw this existential/continuous precarity and disposability are what defines "proletariat", aka the class of the dispossessed. It's not reducible to wage labour, although many Marxists (incl. Marx, partly - in his "ideal/pure model" of the capitalist system) still do it

Following on what @miawong.bsky.social and @riotlinguist.bsky.social and others have said, it's worth repeating that the majority of rape is committed against kids and teenagers (<20yo) obviously mainly girls + mostly by adult/teen cis men. Rape culture is inherently CSA culture!

This testimony below was about Croatian border guards, I remember yesterday when someone mentioned all three Afghan guys visibly reacted. They told us it's even worse than what they're able to say calmly (without completely breaking)

I mean putting aside this aspect/point which I don't have a problem with, it's funny/pathetic how boring and uninsipred criticisms of anarchism still are.
Oh I'm sorry you're angry anarchists are critical of electoralism and reformism? Get new material, we've been over this many times...

Anarchist theory stays undefeated
Apparently authoritarian policing is not up for debate nor should it be dismantled, according to Zohran Mamdani

It's crucial to understand that most of the political, intellectual and media establishment - people who make careers out of it - see the public as ungrateful, irrational, and dangerous rabble that must be governed by an enlightened elite or else it's chaos

Participating in a state army will never be "anarchist", it's not that complicated. It's fine to not be an anarchist, it's ridiculous people want anarchists to support this. Might as well ask us to join the police...

It's exactly this... Instead of pushing its humanitarian/egalitarian ideals to its their logical but radical conclusions (abolishing borders and states), the UN's whole (lib) approach from the start actually legitimized/globalized the nation-state and its absolute sovereignty as a model

Reminder that Churchill deliberately starved and forced Indians to give England their resources in 1943, it was arguably (like for the Holodomor ... or the genocidal famine in Ireland manufactured by England as well) a GENOCIDE to support England in the war...

I appreciate the sentiment/intention, but you might as well say "if I was running the DNC I would push to arm workers, black people and trans people to fight back and overthrow the U.S. state, police capital and empire"...
It's fundamentally the opposite of what a bourgeois party is for lol

This is the logical endpoint of social democracy (and this case also of the whiteness of the U.S. left) by the way.
What socdems ultimately want is a strong state + capitalist economy with some welfare/redistribution esp. for non-foreigners/non-immigrants

Famously, there's no nazi problem in Russia and Ukraine right?????
"Marxist-Leninists" are the dumbest (and most reactionary/authoritarian) mfers on the left, it's also quite funny this person says they're for landback if you know what the USSR was... (an empire)

This is such a great quote from The Matrix about revolution (e.g. anarchism, transfeminism)...except for the last sentence: why would you be so (rightly) antagonistic against those who embody tyranny only to say to them at the end "it's up to you"?

This is literally all it takes to get some "anti-imperialist" IDIOTS on board. This guy is a fucking military dictator, I don't care what he says about capitalism or revolution. But a lot of leftists' brains are completely cooked, and we can thank the likes of Chomsky, Parenti and the Grayzone
