Yes, that’s why we should stop capitalist violence by tossing them into the sea 🏴🏴🏴

IMO the capitalists, the politicians, and the cops broke whatever social contract ever existed. Your neighbors, as much assholes as they might be, whatever box they ticked on the ballot box, were caught up in the breakage. You don’t have to like them, hell you don’t even need to forgive them, but please understand that it is the systems that need to be destroyed. And if we have to destroy any people, let them be the monsters who drive the system (capitalists and politicians) and the people who inflict that violence upon us (cops, ICE).

I’m assuming that’s a firework?

I feel you. Hope you feel better in a few hours when all this Independence Day crap is over ♥️.

Wait so you’re a laptop? I thought you were the corgi 😆

Solution: just poop in the car/on the bike/on the sidewalk.

…

What? I said “Solution”, not “Good Solution” 😆

Oof. You’re a good dog owner, comrade ♥️

Capitalists and the rulers who do their bidding

Nah. I’m pissed at the Trumpets too, but voting ain’t worth shit.

Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.

Maybe try this?

Perfectly reasonable. I don’t disagree with that. But we still need to prepare for the day when disclosing that coherent worldview is needed. And more importantly: a coherent anarchist worldview can inform what you give to the movements you contribute to, and you can give an honest justification for why.

I can still work with people i disagree with.

Me too 1000%. All the more reason why we need to come up with our own coherent worldview 😁

They’re the same picture

But i can work with pretty much any if it, if the foundation is ‘i care about people and/or the planet’.

For sure I can work with them too, but we have to be ready to have these debates and work through these issues. My point is that good vibes are not enough to do good politics. Of course, people with good vibes are going to be much more agreeable to anarchist ideas, and any debates we do have will be more productive than people with bad vibes. But we still need to have clear ideas and good praxis with a solid logical and historical basis.

Ppl my take is basically “good vibes ≠ good politics”, why is this controversial?

I want to believe

I 100% support a general strike, but (1) I think that’s a lot more difficult to organize than revolt, which can be spontaneous, and (2) I don’t think a general strike and a revolt are mutually exclusive tactics.

While we all fight over HOW to make the same goals we share happen and not much gets done, the ones who don’t care about what their actions do make their own progress because it’s easier for them to agree on how to take and destroy.

I very carefully picked social democrats and not someone closer to anarchists like council communists because I would argue that, except for the really broad strokes, we actually don’t have the same goals as social democrats. Like okay, if I gave you and a social democrat a survey with the question “Do you support an equitable and just society?” I’m sure you’d both check “Yes”, but you and the social democrat are going to have wildly different views on what constitutes “equitable”, “just”, or even “society”.

IMO the bottleneck comes from the fact that the various non-right-wing movements have organic differences that will result in different material realities depending on which groups succeed.

Yeah I’m with you there.

I like the spirit of this meme, but I don’t think that caring about people and the planet is sufficient to define a political philosophy? (IMO it is necessary though!) I.e. there are lots of social democrats who care about people and the planet just as much as we do but there’s still a massive difference between our politics.

I mean again, yeah, I’m an anarchist, and obviously not just any revolt is gonna cut it. Although instead of an election system to elect representatives in a “representative” liberal “democracy”, I think we can do a lot better than that.
