Anarcho-Maoism

someone with a serious disdain for abandoned bicycles

Your first part is kind of why they've become known as anarchist tactics though, because it seems to me, and this might come off some type of way, that anarchists are the ones who are willing to take that kind of risk. And sometimes you just gotta take that risk, I feel. I mean, it's putting benches up. You can make them with wood, and you could probably do a bunch in the afternoon. And maybe they get taken away, but you just build new ones. I mean, hell, in LA there was a group of people who were doing crosswalks, and the city started removing them, and it caused a bunch of problems in the media, because people were like, why are you removing these crosswalks? Why didn't you build them in the first place? And then it became a propaganda win, which is what we need.

I'm also really glad that you guys are doing that GED stuff. I think that that is a winning strategy, a winning move. You know, I think about my own father, who had to get his GED when he was like 23. And, you know, he's kind of like an apathetic Gen X conservative, and I wonder if that could have been, way back then, a kind of starting point to make him not that.

Lets not get hung up on semantics though!

The PSL’s prohibition on “horizontal”, viz., free communication between party members clearly has nothing at all to do with Leninist democratic centralism and everything to do with **Trotskyist **distortions of the very concept. Imagine if Lenin himself was not allowed correspondence with members of his own party regarding matters of the party except if his local leadership had allowed it. In the present day, imagine a scenario in which one party member was suffering abuse from another and, rather than help that member to safety and immediately launch an investigation into the matter, the instance was dismissed and covered-up under the guise of “horizontal communications”; this second scenario doesn’t need to be imagined, as it has actually happened to myself and others within the party.

Marcyist, Trotskyist, what's the difference comrade, we have newspapers to sell. Please know that I won't bad-mouth a communist party publicly, here I am among fellow Marxists (and some Anarchists), so its different.

Check your stories, and see who's viewing them. I've done this type of thing before, and you'll notice that you'll have a lot of people who you don't follow start watching your stories.

Thanks for this comrade. Things have hard lately, these words mean a lot to me.

I start a new job within the next three weeks of just getting trained up and getting licensed. My concern went from, I'm not going to be able to pay my rent, to this job is going to make me more money than I've ever made in my life and potentially break the cycle of poverty before me, going back as far as my family can remember. I'm kind of weighing that. It's not like a DOD thing, I'm not contributing to that, but, you know.

There's that idea of, am I a class traitor for making this money or trying to make this money? Which is not the goal, you know, of course. Like, I sell t-shirts online with art on them and stuff, but I wouldn't consider myself petite bourgeoisie because I don't own the means to produce those shirts. I mean, I make like 200 bucks a month just to help cover rent, you know. Hell I try to give away profits when I can, friends need healthcare. So, it's just... Trying not to moralize my place as an individual within the system, I mean, I got out of tech because basically every tech company is complicit with this genocide, and even the ones that are removed Not like I worked for Raytheon or something, but still. So, just trying to not betray my own principles while paying my rent, you know.

I know communism isn't a cult of poverty but being from.that background, and then becoming a Marxist, it can feel like it on a personal level.

Cope + boulder is not rolling itself

"Why are you a commie?" I like winning.

Noooo not my heckin' McDonalds! Those poor orcs simply cant handle such greasy, genocidal pleasures!

I can only hope that this accelerates the collapse of these Post-WW2 American companies.

sometimes I think about using that phrase to describe myself lol. We gotta make the culture marxist fam, the circuses aren't circusing and the bread is too expensive.

Yeah this just sounds entirely too /x/ brained for my tastes. The men in black did show up to Second Thought's house as a threat. It's simple, follow the money. iirc there's a good video taking down Kurgesagt and it follows a similar logic to my post.
