There’s nothing more anarchist than inventing your own personal, foundationless brand of anarchism from scratch in your mind palace.

You found this from that brainworms commenter, didn’t you? That was the dumbest conversation I’ve had so far this week, though TBF it’s only Monday.

Hexbear users aren't trolls and their personas aren't leftist. They're literally just reactionary conservatives claiming that reactionary conservative positions are left wing. Watch them defend capitalist Russia as though the Berlin Wall never fell, watch them deny genocide of Uyghurs, watch them say not to vote so that Trump can win the presidency and bomb the west bank. Then watch them call their capitalist, genocidal, zionist positions left wing.

I don't think they're being dishonest about the content of their political views, I think their reactionary, borderline fascist positions are entirely genuine.

And also, there's nobody to the left of a soulist like me. http://soulism.net. If there were, I'd agree with them.

It also reminds me of SF’s & Gavin Newsom’s Care not Cash.

Care Not Cash was a San Francisco ballot measure (Proposition N) approved by the voters in November 2002. Primarily sponsored by Gavin Newsom, then a San Francisco supervisor, it was designed to cut the money given in the General Assistance programs to homeless people in exchange for shelters and other forms of services. The major intent of this measure was to prevent the cash grants given to be used for purchasing drugs and alcohol, and to strongly encourage homeless people to enter shelters or housing and obtain counseling and other services.

Don’t give them money, it just encourages them.
Refuses to elaborate further.

“Tankie” is “authoritarian” left, the construction of which we can thank CIA-funded & promoted bourgeois intellectuals like Hannah Arendt.

One of the centerpieces of the cultural cold war was the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), which was revealed in 1966 to be a CIA front. Hugh Wilford, who has researched the topic extensively, described the CCF as nothing short of one of the largest patrons of art and culture in the history of the world. Established in 1950, it promoted on the international scene the work of collaborationist academics such as Raymond Aron and Hannah Arendt over and against their Marxian rivals, including the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.

This despite unclassified CIA documents to the contrary.

Even in Stalin's time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team and it seems obvious that Khrushchev will be the new captain.
