anarchist sub btw
"Read more Theory" was never more needed advice! Anarchists Against Democracy for Starters before Dominique Misein The Lesser Evil (god Italians write such good shit!)
That last quote is extra fun.
If you’re such a snowflake that you demand utopian perfection maybe don’t vote.
Voting the lesser evil for 40 year sure did prevent a rise of a fascist powergrab. How dare we have principles.
The talk about harm reduction is weird when Liberal democracy slowly decays in front of our eyes. What a sad exemplar of Capitalist Realism when even "Anarchist" renounce a better world.

It's really annoying to see Russian propaganda flood the leftist subreddits every single election season. A few months ago it was "Trump is such a a scumbag, why would we ever want him president?", and now every post I see here is "Trump and Biden are equally evil!"
Tankies when someone suggests we should take marginal improvement over regressionists instead of pouting and doing nothing because we didn't get everything we wanted in one go
The Democrats are not anti-union. Biden supports passing the pro-act if it ever could get passed (it won't until the a democrat majority of both chambers) it would greatly help an already expanding union movement here in the states. Could Biden do more? 100%. The fact that Biden was the first president to ever stand at a picket line in American history at least signals his need to AT LEAST placate this demographic.
I'm an anarchist. It is praxis to vote in this election
I can't compel you to vote or not vote; but to me voting democrat helps protect my healthcare & retirement. I'm not going to abstain just because I don't like certain democratic policies when others help me.
I see Biden as treading water as opposed to drowning, I don’t think he’s gonna actively make things worse but he’s not gonna make it great.
Unless your praxis is gonna stop fascism in the next six months, I still plan on voting. That's my whole point
If you’re such a snowflake that you demand utopian perfection maybe don’t vote.
…
snowflakes are people who criticise genocide. anarchist sub btw

No great example!
Versus Trumps Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court nomination
Immediately after Ginsburg's death was announced, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted: "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president",[40] echoing verbatim a quote McConnell made in 2016 regarding the vacancy left by Scalia's death
40 Years of Dems being Doormats led to this. Reaching across the isle let them fumble 2 Supreme Court spots.

Thats the fucking thing. They say harm reduction but between fascism and Consertatism you have little choice.
My favourite comment in a similar post:
at the very least, because it's now refusing to even pay lip service to the left, it can no longer capture and defuse the same 'proto-leftist spirit' it used to
Who knew that moving to the right leads to losing left wing votes?
Then there is this shit:
Study: Congress literally doesn’t care what you think
And you have the perfect recipe for dogshit on a platter.

oops I interpreted the part in brackets as the opposite of what it meant.
Also, probably better to use "silly" or "uninformed" instead of dumb
wasn't sure how to rephrase that thanks

tbf isn't r/anarchy101 a place to ask "silly" questions like that? feels kind of rude to make fun of them when they aren't really advocating for anything and just seem confused about how something operates

yeah of course. Under anarchy I'm going to be the person who makes all the toliets gender nuetral. we can have the AMAB nonbinary bathroom and a AFAB nonbinary toliets. Then the bathrooms can be gender nuetral

anarcho supreme court justices would make more anarcho money so I think that.

Always ready to defend the rule of the anarchist system against those who refuse to follow the by community consent established law and order, of course. In german we call it "wehrhafte Demokratie" (defensive democracy).

normally i would agree but like there really isn't a anarchist way to argue for owning someone. It all sounds deeply authoritarian bs arguments cuz they allways are unless they are characterizing u as like poor hating or racist ig. Its kinda impossible to tell because most anarchists feel justified killing trillions of living beings because they belive they are biologically superior. Anyway they promote that ideology is going to sound anti anarchist.
but also I do get what u mean. certainly some are not anarchsits at all in that thread I agree

I wasn't talking about all of the people over there, but a lot of them just don't talk like anarchists.
Is it weird that I feel like I can tell if someone's an anarchist by the way they argue? Do you think that that's actually something someone could do with a higher accuracy than a coin flip? I don't really have a way to test it.
I think a good example is this person saying that it's fine because humans are eating animals that were "domesticated to be eaten". I don't think you can be an anarchist and say that.

honestly I belive they are anarchists. Most anarchists are anti vegan. Raddle is very special in that veganism is popular.
tho lenin pfp anarcho gonzoloism is certainly not an anarchist.

I refuse to believe these people are anarchists. They're here for the "debate" part, not the "anarchism" part. They're debate perverts and the word vegan attracts them like a light does flies

I dunno whether, for lots of these people, reading more theory is precisely what they need. they just… arent interested in anarchy beyond the vibes and vague left wing notions. and i dont think them reading more, no matter how good the author / text, is necessarily going to change that kinda interest.
for instance
“ to me voting democrat helps protect my healthcare & retirement. I'm not going to abstain just because I don't like certain democratic policies when others help me.”- this person just seems interested in living as a middle class US citizen who retires. not really anything radical there, just someone playing out their class role who maybe is slightly more sympathetic to anarchistic things.
