   “Marxists” are talking about how “socialist” cops are exempt from ACAB again.

     @Mondobizarrro to be fair, Marxism-Leninism in the Philippines is de-Stalinized compared to Stalinism-Maoism with the CPP.

     @Mondobizarrro @big_louse I've got ML friends who are indeed ACAB and agree with my analysis of carceral communism.

     i've noticed in countries where there is an established socialist tradition there will be a wider range politically, or their analysis is based on political lived reality rather than pure anti-americanism, like the Marxist Leninists in Russia are in the underground resistance to Putin. In India, Phillipines etc. Numerous ML organizations oppose Chinese imperialism etc. The western tank basically amplifies the most reactionary and state-aligned Marxists around their world because it fits into the 1950's caricature of communism that they've identified with.

     @Mondobizarrro @abolisyonista

     i agree of of course, and while i think castro is maybe best modern example of an enlightened despot, he's still just that, in fact there are thousands of years of powerful rulers who were relatively speaking, humane and limited in their violence, and provided free social sevices, in the mediteranean pre alexander there were kings of island nations who were pretty chill and just gave away free shit to everyone -that was basically the Hawaiian Monarchy from what i've heard, but yeah that's not socialism, that's not freedom, and while sure a socialist government is better than a neoliberal or fascist one by certain metrics, it's a heirarchal system of exploitation

     but for anarchists it gets tricky because, in the circumstances of revolutionary war like in ukraine or spain, the people are obliged to take up arms, and, in practice what is the difference between a cop and an armed partisan? there are many, but in the relation between armed and unarmed, or one armed person and group vs another, it is just violence, materially, and so doesn't have any ideological content as such, so this is a problem anarchists have to address, like how do we engage in violence in a liberatory way without (re)producing hierarchies and exploitation?

     @big_louse @abolisyonista on one hand smoking a blunt with castro would be a fucking mood. On the other hand no gods no masters.

     @Mondobizarrro @abolisyonista

     but what if they're a cool stalinist in a military uniform, like Castro? Imagine smoking a blunt with Fidel Castro

     @abolisyonista @big_louse i still have no idea what you are talking about. I just think cops and tankies are bad because i will fundamentally alwayd be against what they stand for.
     
     The first people to go after the revolution are always the anarchists that helped along the way.
