    I just want to live on mountain, make LSD and moonshine, and tweek out playing video games where you build shit.

    But someone says they “own” the mountain. How do you own a mountain? They didn’t build it. They were forced to be born on this planet just like me. Just another human full of blood and made of meat.

    So I guess I’m stuck in this basement instead, forced to live in this “civilization”. Doesn’t seem very civilized to me that’s for sure.

    Maybe next life.

      Most leftists, generally yes.

      Doesn’t mean they like US style gun culture or obsessed with them. But the system leftists oppose is armed and has/will use those arms upon leftists that gain any significant amount of power.

      Arm the oppressed.

    As a Leftist there are a few types of leftists I hate

    • Fake Leftists: People who think Socialism is when “government does stuff” and they just want the government to do everything
    • Ignorant Leftists: People who blindly hate capitalism but make no real attempt to look into leftist theory
    • “Anti-imperalists”: People who support “anti-imperialism” by supporting the other empire. These people will blindly support Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, the Taliban, Assad’s Syria, HTS, and occasionally blatant terrorism.
    • Aesthetic “Leftists”: People who see leftism as nothing more than an aesthetic which they can use. They make no real attempt to understand leftism but rather then simply being ignorent they actively attempt to subvert the term. These people will say “leftism just means left of center” and use that to justify Capitalism, western imperialism, and other very non leftist ideals under the justification that “leftism has no hard definition” (it does).

        “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

        -Karl Marx

        Where are these anti-gun Marxists?

      It’s a joke, but “leftist” is such a wide term that it encompasses groups which don’t really want to do much with each other, such as anarchists, bernie-bros, and ~red fash~ tankies marxist-leninists. Anarchists tend to not hate anarchists for example.

        Here we go again, an anarchist calling Marxists leninists “red fash”. What country destroyed Nazism, please remind us.

                Seriously though, I don’t know how anarchists can look at the consequences of the Perestroika, Glasnost and eventual dissolution of the Eastern Block, the millions of lives lost to unemployment, alcoholism, drugs and suicide, and still use the word “tankie” (coined to degrade the communists in support of the intervention of the USSR in Hungary when it went down that very path).

                  It’s precisely because we saw the path of the USSR. Because we can see that ML regimes always leads to oppression and capitalism. They’re just another way to convert poor agrarian/feudalist societies to capitalism and have no socialist potential. Terrible system.

    I like any political map that triangulates liberals from the left and right.

    And I love any one that properly omits libertarians.

      I am getting more and more confused.

      Liberty ≈ Freedom.

      Liberal is someone beliveing in something adjacent to freedom. Libertarian is someone believing in something adjecent to freedom.

      But I only hear bad things about liberals, alright I already knew 'Merricans are stupid, they get angry about a word while not even being autistic. But I also somethymes hear about libertarians. what the fuck is that supposed to be, especially compared to its namely cousin?

      Well I know I’m not being entirely fair to the poor, old 'Murricans, there surely is something they all know about their system, that has not yet reached me. Still calling someone by one of your core tenets ('Murrica, land of the free, home to lady liberty…) and believing that to be an unterstandible slur sure is weird.

            Idk you calling people stupid while also coming off as extremely ignorant on the topic just makes you seem like both an asshole and an idiot.

            You can either be an asshole or ignorant but if you’re both then all I can ask is Jesse what the fuck are you talking about.

              Well people are stupid. I am a hypocrite, I am somethymes an asshole. And I’ll call americans stupid for however long I wish to.

              As for me being ignorant… The search-engines are never useful. I asked for information and gave some sort of premediated Information about my previous understanding. Now I know more than beforehand. Because some people were helpful.
