I’ll keep quoting it until it sinks in: direct action is always better than waiting on and relying on elections for change. You don’t have to wait to do it, and it isn’t rendered completely ineffective by politicians doing what they always do-selling out.
"The electionists make TWO MISTAKES which are at the root of persistent illusions. FIRST, they mistake effect for cause, and attribute to the effectiveness of the electoral struggle and the parliamentary system what little good at rare times is done by elected bodies, while this is really the effect of popular pressure, to which the rulers concede what little they think is necessary to calm the people, anesthetize their energy and prevent them from demanding more. SECOND, they compare what is done in the electoral struggle with what would happen if nothing were done; while instead they should compare the results obtained from the fight at the ballot box against those obtained when other methods are followed, and with what might be achieved if all effort used to send representatives to power, from whom they expect reforms or proposed reforms, were employed in the fight to directly achieve what is desired."

Left unity is a lie used by Lassalleans of different stripes to keep anarchists crushed.
MLs (anti-communist Lassallean reactionaries) are parasites on the communist movement and need to go. Same for social democrats and democratic socialists.

The Congress opened with a virulent speech by Lenin appealing for loyalty to the Party and denouncing the Workers' Opposition as a threat to the Revolution. The Opposition was a "petty-bourgeois" "syndicalist", "anarchist" strand "caused in part by the entry into the ranks of the Party of elements which had still not completely adopted the Communist world view". [19] (In fact the Opposition was the very opposite. It was the reaction of the proletarian base of the Party to the entry of hordes of such elements.) The basic arguments of the Opposition were not dealt with in any depth. What argument - as distinct from invective - there was, was often confused. For instance, apart from being (a) "genuinely counter-revolutionary" and b) "objectively counter-revolutionary", the Workers' Opposition was also "too revolutionary". Their demands were "too advanced" and the Soviet Government still had to concentrate on overcoming the masses' cultural backwardness.[20] According to Smilga the extreme demands (of the Workers' Opposition) disrupted the Party's efforts and raised hopes among the workers which could only be disappointed.[21] But, most important, the demands of the Workers' Opposition were revolutionary in a wrong (anarcho-syndicalist) way. This was the ultimate anathema. "If we perish" '; Lenin said privately "it is all the more important to preserve our ideological line and give a lesson to our continuators. This should never be forgotten, even in hopeless circumstances". [22] Gone was the rhetoric of State and Revolution. Out came the skeletons of the split in the First International. The cardinal crime of the Opposition was that elements among it (and more particularly among its fringes, such as Myasnikov and Bogdanov) were beginning to raise really awkward questions. In a clumsy and still fumbling manner some were beginning to question the primacy of the Party - others the class nature of the Russian State. As long as criticisms dealt with the "bureaucratic deformations or distortions" of this or that institution - or even in the Party itself - the Party could cope (it had in fact become quite practised in the matter!). But to raise doubts about these other absolutely basic matters could not be tolerated. The threat was serious, even if at the moment only implicit in the Opposition's thinking. Ignatov's theses had warned of the likely effects of "the mass entry into the ranks of our Party of people from bourgeois and petty-bourgeois strata" combined with "the heavy losses sustained by the proletariat during the Civil War". [23] But one thing led to another. Shortly atter the Congress Bogdanov and the Workers' Truth Group were to claim that the revolution had ended in a "complete defeat for the working class" • They were to charge that: "the bureaucracy, along with the NEP men had become a new bourgeoisie, depending on the exploitation of the workers and taking advantage of their disorganization. With the trade unions in the hands of the bureaucracy the workers were more helpless than ever". "The Communist Party...after becoming the ruling Party, the party of the organizers and leaders of the State apparatus and of the capitalist-based economic life...had irrevocably lost its tie and community with the proletariat". [24] This kind of thinking threatened the very basis of the Bolshevik regime and had ruthlessly to be expunged from the minds of working people. "Marxism teaches us", Lenin said, "that only the political party of the working class, i.e. the Communist Party, is in a position to unite, educate, organize...and direct all sides of the proletarian movement and hence all the working masses. Without this the dictatorship of the proletariat is meaningless" [25] "Marxism" of course taught other things too. It emphasized that "the emancipation of the working class was the task of the working class itself"[26] and that "the Communists do not form a separate party opposed to other working-class parties". [27] What Lenin was now preaching was not in fact "Marxism" but the crude Leninism of What Is To Be Done? (written in 1902), the Leninism which had asserted that the working class left to its own devices could only develop a trade union consciousness and would have to have political consciousness injected into it from the outside, by those "vehicles of science" the petty-bourgeois intelligentsia.[2*] In the minds of the Bolsheviks the Party embodied the historical interests of the class whether the class understood it or not - and whether the class wanted it or not. Given these premises, any challenge to the hegemony of the Party - whether in action or only in thought - was tantamount to "treason" to the Revolution, to a rape of History. "Unity" was the all-pervasive theme of the Congress. Given the threat from without and the "threat" from within it didn't prove very hard for the leadership to get draconian measures accepted. These were still further to restrict the rights of Party members. Factional rights were abolished: "The Congress prescribes the rapid dispersal of all groups without exception which have formed themselves on one platform or another...failure to execute this decision of the Congress will lead to immediate and unconditional expulsion from the Party". [28]

If you would stop pretending and start taking the time to actually learn, you’d know why that guy won. Generations of experience in the labor movement by large swathes of the working class made it so that if the rich didn’t put a guy like FDR in office and allow the New Deal and then Great Society to emerge, there would be a genuine revolution that would destroy all of their status and privilege.

I truly do appreciate the Lassalleans just cranking up their Hitler particles to full power, make what anarchists already knew about them more obvious to everyone not up to speed. This is why we say don’t engage in electoralism.

Deleted the post based on what you said here. Doubt he’d be willing to talk anything out and tbh I just don’t trust MLs on principle, based on the history of how they treat anarchists. I’ll save the link you posted for future reading. I’ve heard of Red Nation and have read some of their articles but not everything they’ve put out, I’ve heard good things though.

Liberals and Lassalleans of varying flavors will call libertarians “unrealistically idealistic” and then post this shit as if it’s remotely possible. “Fair elections” in America in 2025?
The hopium huffing is outlandish
@arcticgoddess • 3h ago Option 3: Gavin loses the primary badly to an actual Leftist. A gruff, FDR type who talks about cleaning up Trump's mess, universal healthcare, human rights, building America again, and refuses to take corporate PAC money or AIPAC money. The Democratic base has slammed to the left. 53% just responded to a Politico poll in Sept that "Socialism is better than Capitalism" for the first time in US history. 92% of the Dem base think Israel is now a bad actor. If a 50 year old Bernie Sanders ran in '28, he'd win in a landslide, like the Democratic Socialist Muslim is about to for Mayor of New York. The base wants Schumer and Jeffries out. Gavin and other generic Ds are going to be primaried because the base blames centrists for weakness and blames them for where we are. If we get fair elections, many of the more socialist candidates like Graham Platner in Maine, and Kat Abughazaleh in Illinois are going to win. But we will need to build coalitions with some moderate and Independent voters. We have to accept that our leaders have to compromise on issues that we vehemently disagree with, ie, the Purists on the Left, or we will never take and hold power to make the changes we want.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Your adoptive family sucks. My adoptive father told me to not be attention seeking like my (abusive) mother when I told him about considering self deletion last year, and also told me “adopted kids aren’t the same as real kids” at Thanksgiving a few years back. So I get that adoptive folks can be brutally dogshit. Never even met my biological father.

Idk if you prefer dub or if you watch subtitled but it’s gonna be a little while before all the episodes get out, so might as well rewatch from the beginning now and by the time you get up to season 8 they should be wrapped up with releases. Sucks that World Heroes Mission has no English dub on streaming or online anywhere though.

What I’ve seen from his friends is that he didn’t really talk politics at all. And the few political points he did express was that he couldn’t stand the “hate Kirk spreads” and that “evil like that can’t be negotiated with” Groypers were challenging Charlie from his right, they thought he wasn’t hateful enough. Just doesn’t seem like a strong enough basis to say he’s a groyper so much as a mostly apolitical dude who didn’t like Charlie due to his own queerness.

MLs are not far left, they are an authoritarian conservative sabotage of socialist movements. The overlap of tactics and similar societies they develop through their governance methods reveal their true nature. They vary in the details but align in the basic principles and structure. There is a common Lassallean genus at work in all of this, and we must remove Lassalleanism from the left if we are to ever move forward.
