How about Number One funder of the Amazon Labor Union, what’s the phrase? “No investigation, no right to speak”
That’s fine I guess, but by your own standard that didn’t directly result in the conquest of state power so you know, what a waste
I’m not an anarchist, and that’s all I’ll say on the subject
Me neither
To solve homelessness you need STATE POWER, not simply individualistic quests reifying noblesse oblige
Bro did you just call me a noble for helping homeless people not fucking die in the street you dont need to be a fucking rich landlord with a heart of gold to do this thats the whole fucking point im making, it saves you fucking money even!
holy fuck america is so cooked, stop with this ridiculous parasocial obsession dude
but by your own standard that didn’t directly result in the conquest of state power so you know, what a waste
Almost like it’s a process or something
Me neither
Then why bring up Kropotkin???

Your inability to recognize your expectations for other people are over-the-top, is what I was calling noblesse oblige, not your personal activism, which like I said previously, is valiant
Then how can you not understand saving someone’s life, someone whose material circumstances makes them a likely socialist, is not part of a grand process? I’ve done this a lot at this point, you can just keep doing it, and its not even hard to do.
Then why bring up Kropotkin???
You said “The dude gives small fortunes to charities and mutual aid orgs all the time” as if you appreciated it. I was explaining the basis of what good mutual aid looks like, and it is rarely about the money (though a good mutual aid setup can save you money). It is best to directly house people if you want to use a lot of money efficiently and effect people in the most profound ways.

This is a skill issue on your part and on the part of society. The white supremacist settler society will continue to do those things, yes, but to call yourself a leftist you must first decolonize your own thinking and be willing to see others as important as yourself.

Did I say mutual aid wasn’t part of the process? You made assumption about my “standard” not resulting in “conquest of state power” and I corrected you by calling it a process and now you’re talking about how I don’t include mutual aid in that process, which is another assumption???
You’re shadow boxing with a phantom in your head and I’m catching strays, all because I called out your over-the-top expectation for other people, I wasn’t making a value judgment on the concept of mutual aid itself

Again, I understand what you’re saying, but I’m not an anarchist, under a capitalist system it’s always about the money, I’m disagreeing with your theory and I said didn’t want to get into it because I didn’t want to make this sectarian

The state can do that better than idealistic social expectations
This is a skill issue on your part and on the part of society
It’s a skill issue because you don’t have state power, that’s my point

I’m not an anarchist lmfao, ML all the way through
The state can do that better than idealistic social expectations
And you don’t have one oh my fucking god im not expecting the whole of society to suddenly decide this is the way to go, but you can hinge on the idea if you save the lives of 30 fucking people who will go on to say communist shit, that does in fact change something. like i get it, you personally are a sack of shit and will continue to be a sack of shit! have fun!
Hi comrade, just stepping in to say that I agree with your points throughout this thread, esp about reach/audience/impact vs. the idealism of being ideologically pure. Also you’ve been posting for several hours now. At this point don’t worry about idealist and armchair leftists in the thread, there’s better things to focus your frustrations on.
Yeah I’m done now, people are looking at upvotes instead of arguments, no point in continuing
Mildly critique someone’s unrealistic expectations while describing what they do as valiant, and you still get called a “sack of shit” lmao
I’ve tried to cure this site of it’s Hasan derangement syndrome before, and dogpiles tend to follow when I do, but it’s important to combat misinformation about one of the genuine left figures out there
