There's no way Blumenthal's ever done actual work. He rode his rich daddy's coattails used his connections to get where he's at.

I think as a baseline we should all accept these people need to get the wall. They should HOPE for prison.

"For us, it is truly the very existence of the army that we want to destroy, however it is organized. It is loathing for the role of soldier—the role of slave and cop combined—that we must inspire in the spirit of the people and especially of the youth." -Malatesta

Painting of the clashes on 1st of May, 1909. Large banners and a crowd of people in a tree lined street can be seen.

The Minister of Security of Argentina's "libertarian" gvmnt, Patricia Bullrich, announced the Federal Police Academy will once again carry the name of Coronel Falcon--infamous anti-worker & anti-anarchist coronel who ordered his troops to open fire on an anarchist 1st of May demo in 1909.

"And my heart goes out to him in deep sympathy, and to all the victims of a system of inequality, and the many who will die the forerunners of a better, nobler, grander life."

'Obama did this really evil thing, but he did it nicely' is a wild argument I see made constantly and without irony.

Our friends' kids call us "aunt" and "uncle" because that's the sort of relationship we have with them, not because of some blood connection. That's completely normal, these people are just looking for reasons to whine about him.

Zizek is such an irritating fraud.

Saw a communist defending AI, claiming, among other things, that 'anything can be done sustainably if it weren't for the profit motive' (paraphrasing). These people are dumb as shit.

Physically hurt watching this

People who write about radical movements love using the word "milieu"

I bring this up anytime he comes up. It was reported briefly then everyone essentially ignored the accusation.

I don't mean to sound like a dullard, I just really don't see how this is appreciably different or original.

"Communist revolution does not separate its means from its ends. Consequently, it will not firstly take over (or dispense with) political power, and then only secondly change society. Both will proceed at the same time and reinforce each other, or both will be doomed." -Dauvé

Communization is weird to me because it seems like there's this attempt to differentiate it from Anarchism while just re-articulating anarchist positions:

Extremely bleak that supposed leftists are defending both nazi tattoos and the use of "ZOG".

Still funny lol

I remember thinking it was spooky, but I also don't think I could really appreciate it because it made me very motion sick lol

Every Jacobin article is worse than the last lol

Everything else aside, the totenkopf looks dumb as shit. Stupid ass design. No way someone looks at that and says 'Yeah, that looks cool, I want that tattoo over any other generic skull tattoo.' That doesn't happen. People only like the design because they like nazi shit.

Love it. I can hear the cheesy theme music lol.

Look, he just got really drunk and happened to pick the very specific SS symbol instead of any other generic skull tattoo.

Leftists and their impossible purity tests* 🙄

*not having nazi tattoos

If he wouldn't recognize the nazi totenkopf he's an idiot.

It's very much an SS emblem. It's like the most immediately recognizable symbol of the SS.

The difference is the first wasn't used by the SS, which is the issue lol

Whomst among us hasn't accidentally got an obvious nazi tattoo?

I've met a lot of people with shitty skull tattoos and the only ones with totenkopfs were white supremacists with other white supremacist tattoos. Isn't that weird?
