You’ve probably noticed the increase in posts of upwards of 50 comments in the last few days. All the trolls are out on watch.

  • As long as you’re an anarchist who acknowledges that the Soviets were better than the US I can respect that perspective. I’ve met too many who just do “authority bad” without analysis on themselves as an alleged authority on authority.

      There’s a handful of Anarchist books I plan to read at some point. It’s not necessarily a disqualifier for me, but their presence online could not be worse.

      • I’ve met too many who also immediately go “I don’t think we’d ever achieve a [stateless classless society] with anarchism”, but it makes them feel better than supporting places like the USSR. It’s exhausting to deal with those types.

          I can sympathize with it slightly. I briefly identified as an anarchist. It’s really drilled into you from birth that USSR and communism are evil. Then I actually read some stuff and realized I had been lied to and kept in the dark.
