"negative peace "

toxic positivity/ negative peace aside, I would imagine that not being represented within the established political hegemony could foster some negative emotional response.

who were they doing it for, an-crap?

itt: those in the priveledged position to rely on the state for defense of self and community would rob others of the ability to enforce their bodily autonomy and community defense.

‘only the [fascist] cops should be armed’ brain worms,

enforcing the capital owning class’ monopoly of violence (against ourselves),

a negative peace at the expense of justice.

you know-- bootlickers.

your position presupposes that capitalism can serve to improve our collective wellbeing, when it is fundamentally an oppressive heirarchy enforced through violence.

news flash: if you do not own capital, capitalism’s essential function is not to improve your material condition, but that of the capital owning class.

edit: civility

argument through analogy is a logical fallacy, I’m not going to engage that.

you’ve yet to convince me that further entrenching capitalism (which requires scarcity to the extent that it will create it where there need be none, and demands endless quarterly growth within a limited system) is a solution to the environmental destruction to which it contributes.

it seems to me as though you would like to eat your cake and have it too.

private ownership of capital is a race to the bottom, leading inevitably to unsustainable extraction of natural resources. The latter won’t be halted or reversed without abolishing the former.

we need power to be distributed horizontally, not continue to be concentrated in fewer and fewer actors.

the non profit industrial complex serves to launder the reputations of the ownership class without meaningfully addressing oppressive systems or threatening the status quo.

the practice you are claiming as essential to communism is just the result of authoritarians and self-proclaimed vanguardists placing party above people in a self-perpetuating class-based heirarchy antithetical to communism (see: Marxist/leninism under Stalin)

“…frustrated at Britain’s attempts to help Ireland during the Irish famine…”

lol. was this written by an English aristocrat?

what is generational wealth?

not enough imo

I’m an anarchist.

Lenin coined the term state capitalism, replacing private ownership of the means with a new class heirarchy in the form of an inequitable and unjust beaurocratic state apparatus.

No state has ever liberated the working class.

you’re not entirely wrong, I’m just not interested in performing the emotional labor of handholding.

incredibly simplistic perspective, and intellectually dishonest; we traded monarchy for a dictatorship of the capital owning class.

muh glorious people’s boot

reactionary recuperation of revolutionary aesthetic-- shallow, reductive simulacrum of class analysis, stripped of systemic critique, intersectionality, and radical solidarity.

conservative pandering. lame af.

scrub the influencer brainworms from your gray matter for one moment and produce a critical thought–

engagement with what, exactly?

the signal which carries no message is white noise.

meaningless engagement is distraction, wasted bandwidth.

an emoji is not a meaningful improvement to the material condition of the working class, or a threat to the status quo. It’s not even relevant to the abolition of work.

thank goodness internet tough guys exist to defend limp-dick slacktivism.

petitioning for a fucking emoji epitomizes the criticism that social media is a vehicle for diverting action into impotent dialogue.

since we’re on the subject

retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems, and should not eclipse the important work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.
