What the fresh frelling hesmana is this?

Low hanging fruit heh.

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard since the 80s.

If you ever have to give a Dern. Let it be Bruce. One of the best Dern actors there is.

Good ole DKs

My only issue with this is it describes leninist. Like desalines or nutomic. Who to be clear aren’t communist, and would cheer Xi or Putin on if they massacred a group of communists.

I was literally asking questions about your reasons and stance. Hence the use of the squiggly little punctuation known as a question mark. But predictably, you have no answers. And worse, squealing like being questioned is some sort of personal attack.

So tell us “communist” if unions are that problematic. They aren’t, but let’s pretend. What is your incorruptible unit of representation? What is your strategy to reduce corruption? Surely you must have something. Surely you weren’t participating in a traditional capitalist smear against historic institutions of the left.

Seriously, the way I’ve seen you personally gatekeep other people’s political ideology. While being so ludicrously ill prepared with your own claimed ideology. It’s hilarious. The way you claim to be a communist and then turned immediately around to attack communist as wanting to destroy Society. It’s peak lack of self-awareness.

No, it replaces what’s currently at the top with a trade union.

Something where people vote for their leaders. It would be the same as we have now almost immediately.

Even if it did it would literally be better than what we have now. But no that’s incorrect. It’s literally about doing away with what is considered the top. And replacing it with local answerable flat representation. Using the power of labor and the Unions to achieve that for Syndicalists. Or by other means for the other subset of anarchists, direct action etc.

Are you even in a union?

SEIU, mother was with the teamsters and my father with the pipelines.

Do you have any idea how they work or how often corrupt assholes get leadership positions for the sole purpose of personally enriching themselves?

Yes, and? So are you advocating to abolish unions just like the capitalists? Not even the nutty Leninist do that. They just rig things to get their puppets in place. Corruption can happen anywhere, with anyone. Corruption isn’t an inherent feature of unions.

Like, I know I just said that I’m aware I underestimate others but…

C’mon man, you legitimately don’t understand how that would result in a system identical to any other party based political system?

You don’t understand how fast they’d throw their origins out the window?

You don’t underestimate others. You far overestimate yourself. The whole point of anarchism. From the most extreme to the most milquetoast. Is literally doing away with those unanswerable hierarchy protected leaders. Flat, local, minimal governance of the consenting. Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s got nothing to do with your other straw man of destroying society. Nothing at all. It’s about not having a fascistic national federal government forcing their whims down your throat through a monopoly on violence. It’s about some shit head governor who’s never been to your town and doesn’t give a shit about your town not being able to do the same to your town. It’s about those who actually use the means of production having a say on them. It’s about you and your neighbors deciding the rules you live by. And not someone that you have no say in at the state or federal level.

If you actually were a communist, you’d understand this. Especially if you were anti-authoritarian. Most anti-authoritarian communist realistically are going to tend to align anarcho communist. The sad thing is though. I think you are actually capable of understanding this. But contrary to the username you’ve chosen you actually just don’t give a shit.

Claims to be a communist, but has no clue about anarchists. Many of whom are actual communist/Marxist. Sure buddy, you’re a super mega communist.

Anarcho-syndicalism advocates for a society without hierarchical structures, achieved through the power of worker-led trade unions BTW.

Oh yes that old capitalist Chestnut smearing the ludites. Very communist of you. Do you know who the Luddites were? How based they were? Do you understand how badly we actually need luddites right now?

You would really do yourself a service, not by reading dense tomes of theory. But by reading a few freaking basic paragraphs of description on a Wikipedia page.

Sadly, this is not an argument you are going to be able to win here. You are behaving rationally and are correct. Bringing rationality to an irrational circle jerk is a bad time.

The sad thing is, we agree with the irrational crowd in 90% of everything else. But if it’s not 100%, that makes you the enemy in their eyes.

How could anything with daniel ash not be ;) Bauhaus, tones on tail all classic :D

In the era of global fascism, satire is dead. These aren’t bad ideas when you don’t care about anything passed your self image, and no one that matters will stand up to you.

I will have to see if they’re upon max or whatever it’s called now. I no longer have a cable subscription or any way to watch it like that.

They should know by now what a target rich environment for rubes they are. They should, but they don’t. That’s what makes them such good targets.

I haven’t seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.

Yep, reliability and popularity. There’s still plenty of space for it. But I think piefed has kind of come in and sucked up all the extra oxygen in the room for the moment.

That and conservatives abhor thinking. They need someone or something to defer to. And LLMs can give them all sorts of moderately intelligent bullshit they’ve come to expect . From their leaders and politicians. But better and faster. With possibly even less accuracy.

Not enough money for big bird. But money to spare for a fascist private jet. Tragic
