Not sure who Maknho is so thanks for the name drop I’ll check their work out, but as far as I know, Bookchin was a lefty anarchist. I always assumed his later ‘libertarian phase’ was just another label that he’d eventually disavow as well but that his critique of the state also went alongside his critique of the market.

Can you refer me to other libertarians who are particularly anti-market, in the American context?

In my opinion what defines libertarianism overall is being non-statist and a belief in markets dictating all of life.

Left libertarianism is just progressive on social issues.

I have nothing particular to suggest but I just want to say this sounds great and happy to see. Enjoy!

As you mentioned Linux Mint is very beginner friendly so I’d recommend that.

he’s a hero of the working class that is also standing up for the oppressed Palestinian people.

A hero

have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water, mandrake?

It’s difficult enough for getting people to switch from whatsapp to signal.

I don’t know how successful i’d be to get people to switch to simplex.

Is there a particular reason that you don’t recommend signal?

can someone pleaseee think of the oligarchy PLEAAAASE.

DEMOCRACY (copyrighted/trademarked) IS AT STAKE!!

yeah, and not just leftist. you can have the most liberal and bourgeois-backed nationalist project just to secure some kind of national sovereignty and there will still be a coup. Case point: Iran and Mosaddegh.

Imperialism will sap the wealth of countries and peoples for short term gains, regardless of the economic system.

while this is welcoming news during this atrocious time of the zionist genocidal assault against Palestinians, I am curious of the details. Is this 1967 borders? What about the facts on the ground that zionism has created to make a two state model incapable?

Do we really want to normalize having a new Palestine state existing in a quasi-like existence next to this genocidal state? How far will that go? Will AOC and others say Palestine has the right to defend itself and arm it with iron dome?

Furthermore Israel should not be off the hook in the important work of dismantling colonial regimes.

The only possible way forward is to equalize existence for all peoples on the lands, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, or who they are. Ethno-nationalist state models like zionism deserve the trashbin of history and I dare any one upholding liberal values to defend an ethno-nationalist state now or in the future, but we all know they’ve done an trash job in the past.

the distinction between the urban and rural countryside, and only possible with the abolishment of capitalism!

can ya hear that hogan? the shit winds are coming for ya

edit: oh wow I didn’t know he actually died.

They slandered his name so much during the labour leadership.

It’s about time he left a vile party.

This is what decades of right wingers calling democrats as communists will do to their worldview.

If they are banking on a strategy of ignorance, then we have nothing to worry about comrades; eventually their imagined reality will collapse and their strategy will be broken.

Welcome! that’s quite a list of changes and i am impressed how fast you’re freeing yourself from shit platforms.

You hit a lot of good checklist items, well done.

i think the key is to have a certain balance. Stay positive in certain aspects of your life activities, have principles and interests. Be true to them. Cherish those that mean a lot to you and appreciate them everyday.

But to quote a rage against the machine lyric “if ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face”

I don’t think many even know what a communist is or what communism is about. it just makes them feel upset when they hear the word because of constant corporate mass media conditioning.

take it to the next level and add a net subdomain!

net.net.net

easy to remember!

ah yes the basic ‘but arabs rejected the partition!’ argument?

is this similar to the terrible ‘all palestinians are just arabs’ angle so they should just just leave and give it to colonial settlers, just because?

I have no idea but hopefully the ‘Proprietary’ branch of human technology is discontinued.
