    I will not be mad if Parenti TikToks are what finally brings revolutionary consciousness to America.

    Lol this got crossposted to /r/anarchism and I’m currently arguing with a guy who thinks parenti is the “Ben Shapiro of tankies” and that “tankies should engage with their own theory more and anarchist theory as well” while two sentences before he said “I don’t care enough to read parenti”. Fucjing hate reddit omg

      Now lets say, hypothetically, Nicaragua was being attacked. Now lets also say, for the sake of argument, that the US was funding these attacks. So it would make sense that the Sandinistas would set up a , lets say, a security force to prevent these attacks am I not correct? Now this could be considered authoritarian by some, but these libtards don't consider what would happen if they let their guard down now do they? Facts don't care about you're feelings

      My whole life I’ve seen the definition of “socialist” slide more and more liberal, but anarcho-bidenist reddit is actually the most liberal community I’ve ever seen consider themselves socialist. Not a single anarchist I’ve met irl has ever been as hostile to socialism or other leftists as reddit “anarchists”.

      I genuinely believe the average reddit/twitter anarchist would shoot Fred Hampton had they been alive in his time.

      That's what I hate the most about random anti-parenti comments on reddit. I don't particularly like Parenti's writing very much because it's kind of pop history for socialists and sacrifices scholarship by polemicizing too much, but come on, if you actually read it you could at least criticize it properly. I doubt that "anarchist" has even read much anarchism (not to say you have to read a bunch of theory, but if you're gonna spout stuff about said theory you probably should).

      The most upvoted post (by gothlaw) is trying to deflect to the leaders of 'those countries' and just posted to commiespam on reddit saying they are getting mauled, arguing that result for a left wing problem

        some good laughs in their post history too

        I still think a Federal marshal will be waiting on him as he exits the WH, with an arrest warrant and extradition writ to remand him to the State of New York pursuant to a series of indictments that have been held under wraps to date.
