Hot take: The Left is too "singles issue", what do I mean by this? I mean that we as leftists have the tendency to hyper focus on singular issues instead of a systemic approach to change. We saw Kamala Harris lose the election likely due to the massacre in Gaza which she refused to condemn and the Left's subsequent boycott of her: https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/us-trump-election-gaza-effect-voting-boycott-harris
And I'm not saying not to pressure your politicians, I'm saying that it's important to look at the big picture, as long as we'll have the horrible system of corporate democracy we'll have to choose between terrible candidates. This year demonstrates how stupid the decision to boycott Kamala in 2024 was, not only is Trump offering to aid Israel perpetuate its massacre with direct American troop involvement but he's stating his will to invade US allies such as Canada, Greenland, Panama and he even said that Turkey should get to decide the fate of Syria, likely meaning the death of Rojava. If Trump's policies will be implemented and this isn't some elaborate bluff or one of his many lies the world will pay for the one track mind of the American Left.

Discussion: What is there to learn from CHAZ/CHOP?

Why has Anarchism been historically weaker in conflict than Nationalism when humans inherently want freedom? If anyone knows psychology or history please comment.

@Radical_EgoCom It neither portrays ableism nor does it portray specifically socialist authoritarians, it says "auths say", I would agree with you that it's wrong as that's mostly the definition given by right wing authoritarians, not left wing ones, I specified that it's not my meme for this very reason. As for your argument I disagree that left wing authoritarians understand what Anarchism is as a modern ideology, many Marxists simply view it as the remnant of utopian socialism, they do not acknowledge that Anarchist tactics do and have worked in history and that we have methods of organization.

What does Anarchism mean to you?

@abolisyonista We can't let 1933 happen again, this feels eerily similar but in this case Yoon doesn't even have anything physical to point too, this is tyranny in its purest form.

I hope that dictator Yoon's emergency martial law order blows up in his face. Anyone who calls for the eradication of all anti state elements is not an enemy of North Korea but a evil tyrant who is being WORSE than North Korea's own leadership. I call upon all South Koreans to please not let your country fall into dictatorship again, you CAN'T accept this, for your loved ones please protest, evade tax, riot anything to dissuade this tyrant and tyrants after him.

@abolisyonista I hope.

@abolisyonista You're missing the point. nvm.

@abolisyonista She has immense privilege and outreach and instead of using this as a media moment to push for Kurdish independence she decides to lecture the Kurdish party on climate issues.

@abolisyonista Slightly disappointing.

@abolisyonista What is Greta doing there?
