Then how can you not understand saving someone's life, someone whose material circumstances makes them a likely socialist, is not part of a grand process?

Did I say mutual aid wasn't part of the process? You made assumption about my "standard" not resulting in "conquest of state power" and I corrected you by calling it a process and now you're talking about how I don't include mutual aid in that process, which is another assumption???

You're shadow boxing with a phantom in your head and I'm catching strays, all because I called out your over-the-top expectation for other people, I wasn't making a value judgment on the concept of mutual aid itself

I was explaining the basis of what good mutual aid looks like, and it is rarely about the money

Again, I understand what you're saying, but I'm not an anarchist, under a capitalist system it's always about the money, I'm disagreeing with your theory and I said didn't want to get into it because I didn't want to make this sectarian

It is best to directly house people if you want to use a lot of money efficiently and effect people in the most profound ways.

The state can do that better than idealistic social expectations

This is a skill issue on your part and on the part of society

It's a skill issue because you don't have state power, that's my point

And you don't have one oh my fucking god thurston im not expecting the whole of society to suddenly decide this is the way to go, but you can hinge on the idea if you save the lives of 30 fucking people who will go on to say communist shit, that does in fact change something. like i get it, you personally are a sack of shit and will continue to be a sack of shit! have fun!

Hi comrade, just stepping in to say that I agree with your points throughout this thread, esp about reach/audience/impact vs. the idealism of being ideologically pure. Also you've been posting for several hours now. At this point don't worry about idealist and armchair leftists in the thread, there's better things to focus your frustrations on.

Yeah I'm done now, people are looking at upvotes instead of arguments, no point in continuing

Mildly critique someone's unrealistic expectations while describing what they do as valiant, and you still get called a "sack of shit" lmao

I've tried to cure this site of it's Hasan derangement syndrome before, and dogpiles tend to follow when I do, but it's important to combat misinformation about one of the genuine left figures out there
