To be fair, the dye they used to use for Red M&Ms was banned for being a suspected carcinogen in the 70s.

Yet they refuse to see that climate change is what is causing this change.

If they accept climate change, it means they have to acknowledge that their actions helped cause this and it means they need to change their behavior. People aren’t good at either but most Boomers especially suck at self-reflection.

Dehumanizing the Working Class as “evil people” is peak ML

That’s a new one. Usually the go-to ML insult against Leftists that don’t agree with them is shitlibs. You get bonus points for creativity but fall utterly at defending your position.

Show me a fellow to follow the sea, yo ho and blow the man down, it’s a short little trip down to eternity, yo ho and blow the man.

The Poles have quietly been building one of the largest militaries on earth. They’re not trying to let themselves get conquered or partitioned again. I don’t think it would take much for them to go eagerly to war with a belligerent Russia. More likely Russian’s next conquest will be against small and vulnerable countries like Georgia or the Baltics if they can get NATO to crumble (or Trump goes to war against NATO over Greenland).

I think the South Korea military would triumph over the North Korean military but NK would cause substantial civilian casualties with the large amount of artillery it has along the border.

The sad part is that Trumps base will see this and writhe with glee. They’ve been spoon fed American Exceptionalism so long, they can’t understand that there were reasons for our success that aren’t “we’re great” or “foreigners are dumb”. Since they consider Europeans second rate and everyone else trash, they’ll take this as a win while utterly oblivious to the way it accelerates Americas decline.

I have literally never seen an Anarchist online or IRL hold Zionist or anti-Palestinian beliefs.

There’s been some criticism for Hamas because they’re a Right Wing group founded and financially supported by the Israeli government (Right Wing) for the express purpose of weakening the PLO (Left) and undermining Palestinian unity.

There’s the illusion that capitalism breeds innovation but ultimately it’s just that the only gatekeeper to innovation in a Capitalist society is money while in all the attempted socialist societies, workers can be locked out of attempting innovation by party committees.

or even anyone who positions themselves against western imperialism.

I’ve never met or spoke online to an anarchist online who wasn’t opposed to western imperialism. I’ve also never spoken to someone “with a bone to grind” with those against western imperialism unless they are rival imperialists in which case the “bone to grind” is with imperialism.

They internalise western propaganda

“Our glorious people’s Ministry of Truth has determined that their wretched Mistry of Truth is lying while assuring us that OUR Ministry of Truth would never lie”

“I hate the government not the people”

I don’t know what you’re trying to do here, encouraging racism instead of criticism of the state?

This has real “we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing” energy.

“Just talk to them like people.”

You went on a long tangent but didn’t ultimately actually conflict with this posters central argument. The most sexually successful guy I know has tons to talk about, isn’t afraid of striking up conversations, and treats women like real people. Over time that has translated into an abundance of sex.

I don’t blame the people of North Korea, no. Unless you’re suggesting the Kim family is the victim here.

Historically vanguards derive power thru the threat of violence. Sure, for a vanguard to initially gain power, some level of popular support is important. But often the opposition to the bourgeois is more important than actual embrace of the vanguard. And once the full might of the state is in their control, with it’s propaganda and threat of violence, a mandate from workers becomes unimportant.

systemically impossible to manipulate or censor

I hope you have some ideas because I have serious doubts that’s possible in any political/economic system.

It’s in the interests of the Vanguard for Revolution to never end. I consider it unlikely that they would willingly transition.

I got plenty of criticism for everyone who needs it, not sparing anyone. And the communists I see shitting on anarchists in the Fediverse are frequently also the ones calling for leftist solidarity.

Tankies are people who justify state violence to enforce political orthodoxy. You have more in common with the Right Wing than the Left, bud.

Marxists-Leninism doesn’t attract people whose disposition is towards a stateless society. They may offer a vague “some day”, but all their effort is in the opposite direction.
