I was scrolling thru youtube shorts when I got this vid of a bunch of Haole's contaminating a water resevoir.
All Kamaʻāina should be legally allowed to throw rocks at these people.

Not to detract from the post but please don't use "hawai'ians". Either use "hawaiians" or "Kānaka Maoli" as hawai'ians isn't an actual word in the Hawaiian language. Hawaiians for English or Kānaka Maoli if you wanna say the actual name for the Hawaiian people.
@CrossTheDesert
It's all the time. Mine might be "stronger" than most cuz I'm always conversing with my inner monolog. I'll have whole discussions within my head sometimes.
I also imagine a lot of scenarios in my head but idk if that's the same.
"Capitalism is not a decaying social order; it is an ever-expanding order that grows beyond the capacity of any society to contain its ravages and cope with its predatory activities. If capitalism is not abolished in one way or another, it will annihilate social life as such..."

All of the Actually Existing Socialist states have either collapsed under the weight of their internal contradictions (USSR, Yugoslavia, GDR, etc.) or taken the capitalist road (China, Vietnam, etc.) The failure of state socialism is obvious to anyone willing to look.
Movements that I think libertarian socialists should be looking into and learning from:
1) EZLN in Chiapas
2) The MST in Brazil
3) The democratic revolution in Kurdistan
4) The Shack Dwellers Movement (Abahlali baseMjondolo) in South Africa
FIRST DENNIS IS OUTED AS BEING A SEX PEST RAPIST AND NOW THE ACTUAL PEDOPHILE ANARQXISTA GOLDMAN IS APPARENTLY SOME 60 YEAR OLD PEDOPHILE!!!!!
THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE HERE!!!!!!
The more I read about the Cultural Revolution, the more I start to think that you can absolutely have a "utopian" socialist society immediately after you've overthrown the state so long as you've actually overthrown the state and not just replaced it with Red Capitalism.

Yeah, dude. I totally believe that you had zero idea what World War 2 was because your evil Marxist high school teachers refused to teach a basic school curriculum.
I can't believe people take this guy seriously. This is the kinda shit right wingers say lol
Like fifteen thousand class exercises on how white settler colonialism and the IMF are bad will leave you completely unaware of like basic facts about like "what was this 'world war 2' thing someone mentioned?" I found a book in the school library by myself and was astonished.
All incel "socialists" should be locked in a room and forced to read this book and not allowed to leave until they've passed an exam on the topic with at least a grade of 90%
You can find all the translated works of Abdullah Öcalan, all of Murray Bookchin's published works on Communalism, documentaries on the revolution in Rojava, and so much more if you follow this link:
I joined an anarchist discord and their vetting process seemed to operate in part under the assumption that I'm a privileged white man who needs to be explained the plight of the colored peoples (note that I'm Asian and Hawaiian lol)
The reason the USA, and liberal "democracies" in general, are in danger of a Hitler coming to power is due to the nature of the nation-state. Abdullah Öcalan says that nation-states will seek authoritarian solutions at highpoints of crises caused by the system itself.

Crazy how the most mind numbing annoying and ill-read niche micro celebrity Leftists are turning out to be sex pests using the veneer of being smart socialists to be sexual predators.
It's cool that Duolingo is not only not bothering to make their Japanese course capable of helping you learn Japanese but are actively making you incapable of talking to a normal Japanese speaker.
🚨⚠️ JAPANESE COURSE UPDATE DROP🇯🇵 ⚠️🚨
starting today, our Japanese course will feature phrases inspired by your favorite anime on

! see if you can find them👀
Disregard this mindsets ineffectiveness or whether or not a significant number of anarchists will do anything: How is this attitude and response towards climate change different in any meaningful sense from a modern-day fascist?
I should read Kōtoku Shūsui's work on Imperialism at some point. It predates Lenin's text by 16 years and I've read that it runs counter to certain aspects of Lenin's analysis due to it being written from a non-western perspective
I dislike youth liberation discourse cuz it seems 99% of it is about bedtimes. Limiting it to bedtimes is really doing a disservice to the full scope of youth liberation.
Also don't like it being labeled as "school abolition." Imo that also limits its liberatory potential
Anarchists love to read theory about why stateless societies are ideal and how to fight for a stateless society but won't read about actual stateless societies
Murray Bookchin on the Russian revolution.
I very much agree with Murray's assessment here. Basing your conception of revolution in the 21st century on the "scarcity revolution" that was the Russian Revolution is ridiculous to anyone who seriously wants revolutionary change.
Yt leftists reaction to land back and the suspension of Aya has really driven home to me two things:
1) It's highlighted the reality of whiteness as a class. Even supposed radicals will go berserk if they feel their class privilege as yt folk is being challenged.
It's interesting to note how Mao's top-down approach to creating communes in the countryside failed miserably (Great Leap Forward) but when die hard Maoists set up communes from the bottom-up they actually function just fine and it bothers Mao and the CCP so much they crush them.
Mao, seeing the ultra-leftists take his call for cultural revolution seriously, got scared and helped crush the very movement he'd created. But these guys were confiscating guns from the military, kicking out bureaucrats, and managing whole counties for a brief moment.
The funny thing about the "just do shit" mentality of individualists/nihilists is that we pretty much never see them actually "do shit."
Then there's folks like Tetsuya Yamagami (who aren't even communists!) who "just do shit" and actually change the world for the better
Learning that subcomandante Marcos and other founding members of the EZLN were Maoists and that the libertarian elements of Maoism carried over into the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities is really turning the theory gears in my head.
@Anarcha_Raccoon
There's six short articles of his on there and three of them are coauthored. The Anarchist Library is known to be actively against having Foucault on there.
The ultra-left Maoists were setting up Communes, calling for a "People's Commune of China" and wanted every Chinese foreign embassy to spread the message of the commune movement worldwide. And it has to be stressed that the Communes functioned just fine without CCP oversight.
Self-defeated Americans need to stop peddling this bullshit of France having a normal police force and America having a militarized one. France has an actual militarized police (Gendarmerie nationale). The Gendarmerie isn't even restricted to France. They've been in Afghanistan.

@NoLieWithBTC
The difference between us & France is that our police force is a standing army & if we rioted like the French, they’d kill us all.
No, you see, we can't just go from feudalism to capitalism. We need a transition state. And following this obvious truth, it will be necessary for us to establish a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in order to ensure a steady transition into capitalism.
It's so cool that all that's needed to convince the majority of people that Deep Ecology is a garbage, fascist, shithole of an ideology is to listen to Deep Ecologists talk about their beliefs.
This video is such a blessing. So glad some yogurt company or whatever made it. It's a perfect showcase of how vapid Solarpunk is as a movement and how it's only merit lies in aesthetics.
The Marxian doomers are correct: the revolutionary moment for the proletariat has long since passed.
This doesn't mean that revolution is impossible. It merely means we must move beyond an analysis of the material conditions of the past in order to understand the present.
There are 2 types of anarchists
1) Lifestylists who are truly committed to anti-authoritarianism and eschew genuine organization out of principle
2) Anarchists that want an anarcho-government but don't call it a government cuz then it wouldn't be anarchist
Anarcho-liberalism
Anarcho-Maoism
Anarcho-fuedalism
Anarcho-Leninism
Anarcho-Mercantilism
Anarcho-Jacobinism
Anarcha Shintoism
Anarchism with fascist characteristics
Anarcho-Trotskyism
Anarcha Rebublicanism
Anarcho-Deng Xiaoping Thought
Anarchism in one country
Juche Anarchism
The really funny thing about this image is that American "democracy" is functionally no different from Soviet "democracy." None of the representatives in either system actually represents those not in power. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Published in 1985, these questions and Murray's answers to them remain all too relevant today. Lenin was wrong about capitalist development and revolutionary change. Capitalism is not (and likely never will be) moribund. We are indeed in a ceaseless ascending stage of capitalism.
I am fine with immigrants who love Japanese culture & integrate into our way of life.
There are over 5000 Turks in Japan yet you never hear me complain about them because they don't cause us problems.
Compare them to the Kurds & the difference is night & day 🇯🇵🇹🇷
IMPORTANT THREAD!!!
I think we need to kill the political compass in our minds and adopt the idea that it's really authoritarianism versus freedom in all aspects of politics.
Anyone who accepts or supports top-down, hierarchical social relations is authoritarian.
Both Liberals and Conservatives are authoritarian by this metric, since they support Capitalism.
Forces Libs and Conservatives typically label “authoritarian” are usually authoritarian too.
I remember my Asian coworker and I were discussing how racist America is and our white coworker insisted that America ain't racist and we both reminded him that America put Japanese in camps and his only response was "that was a long time ago."
People may not like it but this statement is arguably the hardest Contrapoints ever cooked. Just totally illuminates how a certain brand of person On Here thinks.
White people may not fully grasp the ideas of white philosophers or even disagree with them, yet still recognize them as engaging in philosophy. However, when encountering the same ideas from nonwhite philosophers, they're apt to dismiss them as irrelevant or unfounded.
