It’s just under 1% of a billionaire’s wealth. That’s how much money these fucking ghouls have 💀

My condolences

Where they’ll be free to kill all the humans bourgeoisie.

I think SDF is pretty neutral ground.

From Wikipedia:

“Left-wing politics or leftism is the range of political ideologies that support and seek to achieve social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy either as a whole,[1][2][3][4] or to certain social hierarchies, to varying extents.[5]”

“Right-wing politics or rightism is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[1][2][3] typically supporting this position in favour of conservatism, natural law, economics, authority, property, religion, or tradition.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]”

Like come on guys, he literally proved how what I was saying, its bullshit!

Not quite, no. I spoke specifically about anarchists and our relation to socialism.

Unfortunately, in , our socialist movement is so weak and atrophied that we often find ourselves working with social democrats and well-meaning liberals and progressives who are just starting out their journey into socialism. So leftism is most certainly not a single coherent ideology; it’s a vague generalization of various groups that want to move the needle towards egalitarian values. It would be convenient if all these people were socialists, which I suspect is what you’re pushing people to do: identify as socialists. And to that end, I agree with you: cast off the shackles of capitalist fearmongering about spooky scary socialists and their Satanic™ ways, so that we can all speak the common language of socialism and the precision it gives us to critique our world and imagine better alternatives.

But that doesn’t mean that non-socialist leftists don’t exist. It would be easier if we all spoke the common language of socialism…but we don’t.

Emphasis on numpties 😆

So no, I won’t be using socialist to describe an anarchist.

From An Anarchist FAQ:

A.1.4 Are anarchists socialists?

Yes. All branches of anarchism are opposed to capitalism. This is because capitalism is based upon oppression and exploitation (see sections B and C). Anarchists reject the “notion that men cannot work together unless they have a driving-master to take a percentage of their product” and think that in an anarchist society “the real workmen will make their own regulations, decide when and where and how things shall be done.” By so doing workers would free themselves “from the terrible bondage of capitalism.” [Voltairine de Cleyre, “Anarchism”, Exquisite Rebel, p. 75 and p. 79]

(We must stress here that anarchists are opposed to all economic forms which are based on domination and exploitation, including feudalism, Soviet-style “socialism” – better called “state capitalism” --, slavery and so on. We concentrate on capitalism because that is what is dominating the world just now).

Individualists like Benjamin Tucker along with social anarchists like Proudhon and Bakunin proclaimed themselves “socialists.” They did so because, as Kropotkin put it in his classic essay “Modern Science and Anarchism,” “[s]o long as Socialism was understood in its wide, generic, and true sense – as an effort to abolish the exploitation of Labour by Capital – the Anarchists were marching hand-in-hands with the Socialists of that time.” [Evolution and Environment, p. 81] Or, in Tucker’s words, “the bottom claim of Socialism [is] that labour should be put in possession of its own,” a claim that both “the two schools of Socialistic thought . . . State Socialism and Anarchism” agreed upon. [The Anarchist Reader, p. 144] Hence the word “socialist” was originally defined to include “all those who believed in the individual’s right to possess what he or she produced.” [Lance Klafta, “Ayn Rand and the Perversion of Libertarianism,” in Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed, no. 34] This opposition to exploitation (or usury) is shared by all true anarchists and places them under the socialist banner.

I guess it’s a bit imprecise to refer to anarchists as “socialists” but we’re definitely a (proper!) subset of socialists 😄.

Cops, soldiers, politicians, CEOs, judges, landlords, debt collectors, repossession agents, and any job solely designed to impose the will of the capitalists upon the world.

I am taking crazy pills, but also we were down.

I think you’re thinking of the unary numeral system. While some people do call it “base 1”, it’s not really a positional number system like the other base N systems. In unary, you “write” 0 by just not writing anything.

Open source is not literally communism, but I do think it’s one of the best examples to demonstrate that anarcho-communism is plausible.

I think 0 has to always be in the set of digits because any number X can be written 0X, e.g. 1 = 01. See the derivation in the comment you replied to 😁

much easier math

No thank you, I like hard math. I didn’t learn all this math to not use it 😆

IMO measurements are actually one of the few areas in life where we are living in a decent timeline because US Customary is basically an affine rescaling of SI Units (affine but not linear because (at least) of x [K] = (x [°F] − 459.67) × 5/9) with exact conversion factors if you’re careful. And then my personal preference for the units I was socialized under become irrelevant for practical work.

You’re attacking BE who’s consistently pro LGBT for a single edgy tweet he made a year ago as if he’s an anti LGBT crusader dedicating his life to attacking trans people

Nah, he’s done it several times. I’m not providing a full dossier of receipts because I have shit to do, but again this comes from a pattern of observed behavior. Again, former fan. Like my point is literally that he’s not consistently pro-LGBT. Anti-trans crusader? Absolutely not, but trans rights clearly aren’t a factor in his worldview.
