  • Pretty historically inaccurate meme. Also, what's the point of emphasizing such political identity divisions that (in the grand scheme of things) is relatively thin compared to neo nazis, transphobic genocide loving dictators, ai obsessed ceos?

    Let's mock them more. not the people we get in abstract arguments with about "the rev" online who are just as depressed living pay check to pay check as we are.

  • cool!

  • Be honest with yourself about your social battery. If a friend wants to watch a movie I try and tell them if I'm Down to hang and watch a movie so long as it's okay that I don't give it my undivided attention (aka are we gonna watch a slapstick comedy where I can check my phone or draw while watching or are we putting on Schindler's list).

    Being honest with my friends and partner as to where my focusing levels are at has saved a lot of conflict and has made people feel more respected (from what they've told me!)

  • These are good.

  • Which would include your advice you're posting right now so then that means that they should listen to the advice people on the internet give you ?

  • Hah fair enough !

  • Better yet: learn to microdose acid WHILE lifting weights.

  • Genuinely one of my biggest regrets . I was so resistant as a kid

  • Okay youngins make sure you do the opposite of what everyone says in this threat!

    I agree with you but I'm also just being silly . Maybe the better argument is be selective as to which elders you listen to.

  • Thank you for this response!

  • Super interesting perspective. Thank you!

  • I'm outside right now thank you very much.

  • I didn't think that far! I thought maybe one of you would find the solution for me :D

  • do you think that you should do what you enjoy at the expense of another person? like (in an extreme example) to harm/assault/ hurt someone because you enjoy it?

  • Hey sorry for the delay in response. I got caught up with life but now am sick in bed with a cold so i have time to respond to this.

    The basic premise I’m working from is that both Marxism and anarchism are extremely broad political traditions that have evolved through numerous internal developments, reinterpretations, and hybridizations over more than a century. Because of that long intellectual history, I think it becomes increasingly difficult to draw rigid boundaries between the two traditions. They have generated many overlapping currents, shared theoretical concerns, and moments of mutual influence. For that reason, I’m somewhat hesitant to treat Marxism primarily through the lens of dominant political parties or official tendencies (for example, Marxism-Leninism in communist parties). That approach tends to privilege institutional power over intellectual development. When discussing Marxism as a theoretical tradition rather than as a party ideology, the landscape in my opinion becomes much more diverse.

    i can't state what is the most common tendency globally or refute what "most people in parties believe" What I do know, however, is that there is substantial literature both historical and theoretical that examines how Marxist and anarchist ideas intersect and inform each other. That show how these traditions have developed alongside eachother, indeed sometimes historically in opposition about also many times not.

    There are terms that have shown the overlap: Anarcho communism, libertarian socialism, council communism, strands of post situationist or tiqqunist inflected theories. Each of these traditions draws on Marxist critiques of political economy while simultaneously adopting anarchist critiques of hierarchy modalities.

    A book that illustrates this historical interweaving beautifully is Communal Luxury by Kristin Ross, which explores the intellectual and political legacy of the Paris Commune. Ross shows how early revolutionary movements that later became identified with either Marxism or anarchism were deeply intertwined at their origin. Another is Wayne Price, such as his book "the value of Radical theory: An anarchist introduction to Marx's critique of political economy". And theres also a lot of his stuff here https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/wayne-price

    There's also a lot of historical analysis that point out structural similarities between anarchist and marxist revolutionary organizing. For instance, this test by Rene Riesel on councilist organization discuss parallels between the CNT-FAI in Spain and the KAPD-AAUD in Germany that suggests how despite ideological disputes their organizational models and aspirations had major similarities.

    anarchism and marxism, from a "party like" perspective, treats things and defines the antagonism as perminent, when historically it was actually much more complicated. There were of course major conflicts, but there were also many shared goals, overlapping analyses of capitalism and practical collaborations. Speaking of the non-english thing, some of the best examples of it are in non english/ global south countries! South america for isntance.

    Maybe i'm not answering your question/comment correctly. If so my apologies.

  • If it was a contest - Japan probably wins

  • Im pretty sure it was a court order

  • I tend to understand marxism as a much broader philosophy. Ive been heavily influenced by Marxist anarchist and Marxist feminist writers that don't fall into much conversation with Leninism or maoism. So I guess my lived experience has shown otherwise to your assessment. But I also am interested in learning more.
