It is the communist movements that you decry as 'replacing oppressors of yesterday with the oppressors of today' that have managed to massively improve people's lives. They are the ones that fought against colonialism and capitalism and achieved some success. Not the people who whine about how bad we are and then just side with the colonial metropoles that exterminate and enslave the rest of the world.
The sort of actions and policies that we support have been proven to work for the liberation of humanity. You have been proven to work for the world's enslavement.
Well, we are going to have to disagree a bit. I don’t accept any oppressor as a step forward.
If you are against the dictatorship of the proletariat as a necessary step, then you are not a communist. I don't know if that's what you are saying though, since you are still saying practically nothing at all.
This is idealistic liberal bullshit.
Strange that a self-proclaimed anarchist would be so in love with the idea of an oppressor.
I want to oppress you so bad actually, when the Dictatorship of The Queer is a reality I will personally find you so I can transify you
hell yeah call me authoritarian, red fash and all the rest of the meaningless buzzwords, you're still going to put on the cat ears and the thigh highs
Im actually kinda into thigh highs, I don’t have the cat ears though but I bet I would look cute. And since I’m gay already, it’s only a matter of time.
let me guess, you're white?
Mixed.
Damn, almost had you clocked as a Cis White Gay. You're definitely acting like one, anyway have a nice day vagueposting about bad shit the most trans-friendly space on the internet is up to and is bad actually.
Sorry. I’m just more peace and love than dictatorship. 🤷♂️
WHICH ONE? YOU ARE SAYING YOU'RE AGAINST DICTATORSHIP AND YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE FOR IT SO NAME THE DICTATORSHIP YOU THINK USERS SUPPORT HERE YOU ABSOLUTE CHAMPION OF A MORON
'Peace and love' is when you claim that the anti-colonjal liberation movements of Asia, Africa, etc. were all oppressive and shouldn't have succeeded, and when you don't suggest any viable alternatives.
the fuck did I say that? fuck off.
you know which part you're just being willfully ignorant at this point with every single reply I'm done with you.
You literally advocate for colonialism. You literally want to oppress most of the world under your authority.
Based on… what?
You literally decry communist movements that were successful in their struggles for liberation from your colonialism (this includes the USSR, by the way) as simply switching the oppressor.
You are either extremely ignorant, or are just outright malicious.
Moving forward, we don’t need oppressors. It’s possible to do it as a community. We can all get along.
HAHAHA.
What is this nonsense? Do you suggest the people under your colonial bondage just get along with their oppressors? Or that workers hold hands with the capitalists?
What do you suggest people of Vietnam should have done? Korea? Cuba? Laos? China?
Clearly the governments who control people need to be removed. I thought that was obvious, but… I guess not. I don’t think they need to be replaced with another oppressive government. I think it should be given to the people. You keep telling me what I think… and you keep getting it wrong.
They need to be removed? Wow who will do the removing? Sounds very authoritarian, just removing governments like that. I'm sorry but I can't support that.
Hahaha okay, I get it, you're 14. We were all 14 once.
SO DO WE! That's why we advocate for Democracy
You might, but that’s not the vibe I’m getting from the above comments advocating for an oppressive government. I really don’t get the “tell them what they think” tactic. It just makes them look intolerant and illiterate.
Do you not know what a "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" actually means? Do you think it just means "A dictator is in charge, but the kind we like?"
NOBODY HAS ADVOCATED FOR AN OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NO POSTIONS PRESENTED AT ALL YOU HAVE ADVOCATED FOR NOTHING SO HOW THE FUCK WOULD OTHERS ADVOCATE FOR SOMETHING? PLEASE STATE YOUR FUCKING OPINION ABOUT THE SUBJECT AT HAND SAYING "I AGREE" IS FUCKING MEANINGLESS WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN SAY WHAT IT IS YOU AGREE WITH OR WHAT YOU AGREE WITH IT ABOUT

You are literally saying that the governments that fought against colonialism were/are oppressive, and then you go 'I don't actually think that!'
You are also yet to explain what the victims of your colonialism should have done.
By the way, this includes Nazi German settler-colonial genocide that targeted, among others, a group I belong to. Please, tell me how much you would love for my family to be enslaved and worked to death, infant.
✌️
So that NATO can invade them again and resubjugate them as your near-slaves?
How about no, and how about you stop pretending that you know what's best for the people your empire has harmed and has been harming?
You are yet to remove any of the governments of the colonial metropoles, while storing with colonial oppressors at every turn.
If you want to stop the oppression of the world outside of the Imperial core, you need to do at least something about the states of said core. So far it is only the spooky MLs and other communists that you hate so much who do something viable regarding the matter, including having the 'oppressive' governments that defend their people against your empire.
You are yet to expiration what you think the people in Vietnsm, Cuba, Korea, etc. should have done, and why antagonising us and helping your empire is higher on your priority list than replacing your governments with something else.
You seem to like blaming people for things they don’t actually have direct control of.
You say I want slaves, but I obviously don’t.
You ask why I haven’t removed the government… like I have the button?
It’s very clear you’re not interested in world where everyone comes together. You want a few people to suffer first. And that’s where we differ.
Everything you’re saying about me is wrong. It doesn’t make me feel bad. It just makes you look intolerant.
Say more about how I want to colonize things so I can laugh.
✌️
I don't mean to imply the use of the "r" word, but are you... like actually cognitively impaired? Do you struggle with linking thoughts together, unironically? Maintaining a train of thought? It's completely fine if you do, no shame at all, but I would appreciate it if you told us if that was the case, because I am genuinely confused at what you think is going on. Knowing wether or not you're struggling with short term memory loss or something would be a great help in furthering this discussion to a positive and productive space or getting you the help you seem to need.
You have full control over you coming here, antagonising us, and talking about how communists in the rest of the world should have no defense against your empire.
You claim that those governments are/were oppressive, but you are yet to present any viable alternative. Just vague 'oh, they should just have no governments', completely unsupported by history.
Cool. How do you suggest the rest of the world stops subjugation by your empire - which western anarchists like you have not only done nothing against, but have even supported? And do consider that if your suggestion is unsupported by history, you are just being unserious.
So far, it seems that you just want NATO to restore the old colonial gold over the rest of the world.
Why do you want the rest of the world to follow your vision that is unsupported by history that you (plural) have never managed to achieve anywhere, and while being completely against what had worked and what has massively improved people's lives, then? You have no examples to show, and you argue that the rest of the world should be rid of defenses against you.
The USSR was one of the most consistent and successful forces in having most of the world come together to fight colonialism. You argue that that was 'oppressive'.
You quite literally want for people to suffer under capitalism until you somehow topple every government (somehow, while doing nothing and while supporting the states and people who suppress any sort of change for good that does not involve getting rid of governments immediately), and are unwilling to support any changes for the better until then.
You literally claimed that the movements that fought against colonialism and capitalism successfully were somehow had and oppressive.
Haha. You are literally opposed to the liberation of Vietnam, Korea, Mozambique, Cuba, etc., because the liberation movements were 'oppressive'.
Right.
For you, there is no difference between (people being forced to work 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, having no guaranteed access to housing, education and healthcare, women not being protected from marital SA, having a life expectancy of 30 or so years), and literally the opposite with life expectancy rising by 60% within 30 years.
You also see no difference between literal old-style colonialism and the lack thereof. Literal pro-colonial white European child is what you are.
Please, tell us more about compassion and how bad we want to 'oppress' people by giving women fundamental rights, providing people in general with essential needs, including housing and healthcare, eliminating illiteracy, etc.
EDIT: if you want colonialism so much, why don't you volunteer to be treated as people were treated under the Red Rubber laws?
Also, it's funny how you don't want any authority over you, but want to subjugate non-white people as your slave and near-slaves
What? I have no idea where you got that. You just read whatever you want?
This is my problem, you just make shit up. I want everything in your last paragraph. We don’t need to have an oppressive government to make that happen.
Either you do not actually speak about any movement that we support, or you don't see any difference between before and after they succeeded. Which is it?
I literally listed some of the things that the USSR managed to achieve within the first 30 years of its existence. Pretty sure almost all of that also applies to the PRC (just with the different starting line expectancy).
Cool. Then you want the USST, the PRC, Cuba, liberated Korea, etc.
You claim that every movement that achieved those things was 'oppressive'. As such, this claim of yours is unsupported.
EDIT: Also, what is your plan for defending against a NATO invasion?
No response lol
