Both huge wins

I get what you’re going for but communism isn’t synonymous with Marxism-Leninism even if it eventually became the dominant ideology under the communist umbrella. I mean the term even predate Marx’s birth

Some of the tendencies you see i attribute to vanguardism and somewhat to democratic centralism. Lenin proosed the need for a disciplined revolutionary party (the vanguard) which differs from marx’s ideas that the working class will organize itself organically and eventually seize power which would be the dictatorship of the proletariat. How democratic the dictatorship of the proletariat would be differs from who you ask but essentally it refers to the rule of the working class as opposed to the bourgeoisie which does not necessarily translate to a dictatorship but rather who holds the dominant political power.

Marx did have a lot of beef with anarchists during the first international and how often he engaged with them in good faith is uncertain so take the following with a bit of salt. But i find it interesting that in his engagement with anarchists or specifically with a text Sergey Nechayev wrote he mockingly responded claiming it to be a display of crude and authoritarian form of communism (barracks communism) and critized it for what he claimed to proposing a very unaccountable system beholden to a overarching comitee. While he used this as an excuse for the expulsion of the anarchists in the first internationale, I find it very interesting how the man who the soviet union claims to take from even critized an anarchist for being authoritarian. In general i personally find very much interest in socialist ideologies that do not take from more authoritarian tendencies. To name a few, orthodox marxism, council communism, anarcho-communism or libertarianism (not the lassiez faire kind the older kind) I believe to find very much contrast in compared to to more authoriarian ideologies. BTW thanks for reading all that. I know that was kinda disproportinally long but its very interesting and does get complicated fast.

I mean at least the grandma could consent

Mostly go by libertarian cuz I’m not quite fully anarchist. Mostly use it as a umbrella term encompassing both anarchism, communalism etc. But I feel like i need to lightly explain every label I use anyways.

Yeah unlike Sea Parks.

Not fully anarchist by my own standards but I’m excited enact my evil authoritarian plan of bottum up direct-democracy mohahaha.

Hm maybe 1585?

Personally kind of radical even for the social democracy i live in so I’m heavily biased but I feel like when people do talk about US-American democracy democracy as a term (rule of the people) is doing so much heavy lifting to maybe a comical extent.

While the Republican party is obviously much worse the Democratic party was still garbage. As an outsider I’m getting the impression that a lot of the momentum Trump was getting was repurposing radical thought because people while not understanding at all what Trump was doing and are at best naive felt unrepresented, abondened and overlooked and often rightfully so. That the election race was like it was does not feel like a coincidence but rather a show of how undemocratic the system really is. Besides its not like the system has not sponsored a range of fascistic coups externally to further its own interests.

Im rambling but I kind of see a liberal election as being able to pick your opposition, not your allies.

So were rejecting the authority of gods instead of just of man now?

Learn what it means then. Hint: The term was made by Marxist-Leninists.

Love the potrait of Linus Torvalds behind Xenia

Was this video taken down? I cant see it on either here or the YT link that jasep@lemmy.world provided.

Nvm it seems like i got geoblocked lol

That the article says “hit by train” sounds like an example where news articles assigns unecessary blame to the train.

A libertarian myself thanks for asking.
