Antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by about 400% in slightly over two weeks since war broke out in the Middle East after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Wednesday. Read more at straitstimes.com.
No, I’m clearly incapable of proving an anarchist wrong, not because they’re right, but because it’s impossible to convince quasi-religious fanatics
I already told you I’m not an anarchist. Try paying attention.
Also, what happened to your horseshoe theory? Remember that you said anarchists are just like Nazis? Why are you now saying it’s just a “wonderland” with nothing holding people down? Can’t you be consistent with the reason you’re against it?
The same thing happened that always happens:
A: Leftism doesn’t work! It’s too authoritarian!!
B: Actually, it requires zero authority.
A: Leftism is too soft! It has no authority! It will never work!
So - which one is it? Gangs of thugs beating people up a la Nazis, or is it too diffuse and has too little authority?
So, if it’s like religion, tell me - what are its doctrines? What are the commandments, what is the dogma?
This is getting so annoying. You make a point, I respond to it, then you ignore my response and say something irrelevant. Why should I take you seriously at all?
And another wall of text
Jfc ok I’ll sum it up for your dumb ass that can’t read more than 5 words at once:
You have dismissed anarchism as being both too authoritarian, AND too soft. It can’t be both.
Also, if anarchism is dogmatic, what are its strict rules?
Lastly, stop just ignoring my points and pretending like you’re making arguments that way.
When did I say it’s authoritarian?
For fuck’s sake. Do I have to DRAG you every step of the way, here? You invoked horseshoe theory, and said anarchism and fascism both rely on “gangs of thugs” to keep people in line and quell dissent. So I can concede you didn’t use the word authoritarian, but you described it the way anyone would. You implied anarchism has to use force. What else do I need?
Yes, because Antifa are gangs of thugs no different from the Brownshirts
Oh, so you’ve flipped again, huh? Just can’t make up your mind whether anarchists are thugs or wide eyed idealists.
Does this not seem like a contradiction, to you?
Idealism can make you do violent acts when putting it into practice
