    Imagine proclaiming to be an anarchist and saying shit like this like yeah you fucking nerd let’s just go back to feudalism since the problem isn’t “an ism,” yeah the entire system of property ownership underpinning all economic and political authority within our society has no effect on it whatsoever hahaha

    god you’re so fucking smugly ignorant Im honestly thinking you’re just existing to bait hostility so whatever lame ass liberal shit hole instance you’re on will ban whoever dares argue with your ignorant ass as they’ll inevitably tell you that you’re an absolute fucking moron

    You told me to read kropotkin as if I haven’t already and as if one of his most famous quotes weren’t literally about how capitalism forces more barbarous and essentially feudal relations on workers under the guise of free will lol yeah kropotkin definitely would agree with you (that’s a fucking joke)

    We cry shame on the feudal baron who forbade the peasant to turn a clod of earth unless he surrendered to his lord a fourth of his crop. We called those barbarous times. But if the forms have changed, the relations have remained the same, and the worker is forced, under the name of free contract, to accept feudal obligations. For, turn where he will, he can find no better conditions. Everything has become private property, and he must accept, or die or hunger. The result of this state of things is that all our production tends in a wrong direction. Enterprise takes no thought for the needs of the community. Its only aim is to increase the gains of the speculator. Hence the constant fluctuations of trade, the periodical industrial crises, each of which throws scores of thousands of workers on the streets

    But don’t like worry about the fundamental structure of society that allows for this to happen, that would be worrying about "ism"s! Just wank on wank off about individual responsibility!

    Oh sorry looks like you were right there at the end he agreed with you im so sorry

      Imagine googling some shit to cherry pick a quote without actually reading theory and understanding the context of the statement you are quoting just to protect your fragile ego.

      Futher imagine thinking that this is going to trick someone who has actually read theory.

      You are making an enemy where there is none because you can’t bare to face the enemy that truly exists (your own ego).

      At best you are arguing with a straw man here. To save you a Google search, this means you are pretending I’ve made arguments I didn’t so that you can have something to counter. You can continue screaming into the void here but your insults don’t land.

      I’m literally arguing that mutual aid must be the top priority and that any attempt at revolution without it will fail. That mutual aid and and social revolution is an inherent precursor to meaningful political revolution.

      But please go on about how that makes me a nerdy liberal dumb fuck or whatever to have actually read a book or two.

      You pretend to have read leftist theory but contradict that with every comment you make.

      If you want I can suggest some other authors for you to Google and pretend to be familiar with for future conversations.

      god you’re so fucking smugly ignorant Im honestly thinking you’re just existing to bait hostility so whatever lame ass liberal shit hole instance you’re on will ban whoever dares argue with your ignorant ass as they’ll inevitably tell you that you’re an absolute fucking moron

      Not only is this sentence basically impossible to parse but it’s also complete nonsense even when parsed.

      NGL the only reason I’m even responding to you at this point is because I’m curious how angry you are going to get at yourself and how much out of pocket shit you will say to protect your ego. I feel kind of bad for encouraging this but it’s somewhat amusing. I just can’t look away.
