Considering no communist state has ever actually done as Marx prescribed . The horrors of 20th century Sovietizism has little to do with Marx

Yes it does because his writing is provocation in itself
Quote:You're trying so hard to split hairs here it's sad. Having a disagreement about fascism is a political disagreement. Even if you "don't believe in politics."
Nope
Quote:The fuck is your point anyway Gae? Let's say it ISN'T about politics in your little pretend reality. This journalist was assaulted without provocation. You trying to talk about whether or not it's about politics is entirely beside the point.
He most definitely provoked he choose to support race realism he brought this on himself
Quote:Ngo stands out as what they consider a legitimate target for their constrained violence.
And he is
Quote:Well, by the measure of their hands, they could also be gassing the undsireables, comrade. same hand measure.
Yay bullshit horseshoe theory of assuming all violence is equal

With respect to antifa, it doesnt matter. They aren’t moral exemplars trying to do things “ the right way”. Theirs is an explicit rejection of what we might see as the right way in favor of an effective way- at least as they see it.
As a movement, they don’t have an ideological issue with victimizing some douche.
You’d think hitting an asshole in the face would make that crystal clear.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If someone is attacked, are they a victim?
Not if they made themselves a valid target for the attack

As much as I want to like Antifa, this shit doesn't sit well with me. Let's put aside for the moment the fact that I think a real anarchist/Marxist revolution must be a pacifist revolution in order to produce a genuine Marxist or anarchist result. Let's even put aside the fact that violence is (usually) immoral in and of itself.
My problem is that these guys ought to be beating down racist cops instead of dickweed journalists. Again, I don't advocate violence in any scenario. But I don't trust Antifa to take out the Gestapo were the Gestapo actually roaming the streets (and, in a way, they are). They aren't anti-fascists. They're anti-"the PR department of fascism." And when push comes to shove, that doesn't really count for shit.

Some such movements but as we said over and over Antifa is not an Anarchist /Marxist movement it has members who are but it ranks are not a set ideology As for the rest will see .
