I would love to see what this person has to say but 2 hours is absurd lol.
Do they have transcripts? Video is the least accessible thing ever.
I feel like responding to BadEmpanada is just a trap and anyone who doesn’t know it by now is just feeding into it. He’s just going to keep trying to sow and reap controversy.
Real talk (the video is in my to-watch queue): I am completely convinced by anarchism tenets, but the apparent lack of a path towards total liberation kinda frightens me. Where can I lear more about said strategy ? (Not about anarchism in general)
This is what no-purpose flour will spend two hours on, and then complain that minorities are “taking up all the air in the conversation”.
Crazy that merging everything within the state so nothing can be against the state would do that huh
has this person read The Jakarta Method?
This is gonna ruffle some feathers
They’re already here being salty
It’s a shame there’s so much infighting on the left of the political spectrum. There is strength in a union.
Which is why we need to stop thinking in terms of left vs right and more on people vs power.
I would be happy to work with other leftists towards a common goal but every time we tried that we ended up getting betrayed
Which is a shame.
There’s in-fighting everywhere.
You think brownshirts seized power cooperatively?the kkk and the nazis used to hate each other
It’s not even that, @souvenir@lemmy.dbzer0.com is completely aware fascists are turning on their führers as we type, yet one of us stomps on the powerless and the other empowers.
Which coin of in-fighting does souvenir want to face?

I think you’ll find they form a circle, hold the man to their right’s penis, release their alpha male energy into the middle of the circle, and summon Mecha-Hitler. That’s what the black sun/ sun wheel swastika symbol represents.
There is strength in a union.
Great song. There is power - there is power - in a band of working folks - when we stand - hand in hand!
The ML cry under their pillows at night so the cameras don’t see them.
MLs don’t cry at night because bedtimes are authoritarian. We cry whenever we feel like it.
big talk from anarkkkists

Capitalism is an advancement from feudal, colonial and slave economies, and will continue advancing into socialism and then global communism, which is what so called “non authoritarian” leftists claim to desire but have no roadmap to get there nor any achievements of their own to claim
Anarchists are the only ones ones with a roadmap. Authcoms only have dreams and hope that they’ll lead a revolution.
Communists are the only ones to have modern revolutions which have successfully overthrown colonizers and ruling classes and immediately ushered in societies that materially improved the lives of the masses. Infant mortality rates down, life expectancy up, literacy rates up, access to food and medicine up, etc etc. You can deny history and statistics all day but no one else has turned an illiterate backwater where people live an average of 35 years into the most advanced societies on the planet except for communists. The only “roadmap” anarchists have is being hedonists until capitalism makes most of the earth unlivable, which will certainly bring a type of anarchism to the last survivors of the earth, but will unfortunately be the mad max kind
why are you even here if you havent watched the video?
I don’t need to watch a 2 hr video of a white man with a trust fund filming himself talk from his estate to refute the blatantly false title that appeared on my timeline. Ive already spent years working with anarchists so I am intimately familiar with white people with trust funds making stupid arguments to justify doing nothing to stop the system them benefit from
The guy in the video has been a community organizer for 15 years and you’re whining on the internet. Who’s justifying doing nothing, again?
So you just came here to try to start an argument. Yet you have the audacity to call us immature 🙄
No I came here to refute the blatantly false and reactionary idea proposed in the video title. Read every book I’ve ever read or else you can’t critique communists.
I think you didnt get the message the first time. Unless you want to discuss the contents of that video please fuck off.
If you think argument is inherently bad, then yeah, you are definitely immature.
how is going into an anarchist space to throw around insults a mature thing to do?
Absolute ahistorical nonsense
Yet you have nothing to refute it besides a dogmatic commitment to an ideology. My commitment is to liberation of all people and the earth and I understand that the only way to get there is through evidence based and material analysis. If you could provide that I would be forced to update my analysis but all you can do is deny deny deny
Why would I do any effort for someone who doesn’t even watch to linked video? Anyway we’re not here to enable your debate pervertry.
No you are just here to perpetuate reactionary ideologies that are inherently bourgeois
I’m not the one supporting capitalist nations. Now fuck off. This is not the comm for the your ML propaganda.
when was the last time a society was established according to someones blueprint?
There have been many communist revolutions utilizing dialectical materialist analysis to manufacture an overthrow of the ruling class and build new societies.
build new ruling classes*
FTFY!
Yet neither side in this can even define what capitalism is and are both absolute brain dumps deattached from reality (materialism)
Farce vs farce
Edit: now that’s how you really ruffle some feathers, by calling a school yard fight that takes place within realm of imagination a farce
If you mean “materialism” as defined by Marx, then yes that is an “absolute brain dump deattached from reality” as several modern anarchists and anthropologists have pointed out with ample of evidence.
Curious to see what this evidence is then, since every time this kind of a claim gets dropped there’s 0 elaboration or if there is elaboration, it’s always some metaphysics brimstone
“Everyone is wrong except me”
Yeah you’re right, I should have picked a sports team and brainlessly attacked the other in this youtube beef where each side is yelling “noo actually my ideology is better than yours!”
I can absolutely define what capitalism is at its core
How about defining what it fundamentally is at an economic level instead, given how it is a mode of production
Also the irony of responding to this by saying “yeah I can define it” then proceeding to not define it
