      When you listen to a bunch of dreadlocked whiteboy anarchists, that’s basically what they’re arguing for, they want a society where they can just sit around smoking weed all day instead of working, which is what they already do.

        I really hate the anti-work left. I’m disabled. I cant work. I WANT TO, but literally can’t maintain consistent schedules and long hours w/o time off for my health. The only job I could get would be at Goodwill for under a dollar an hour (this is done so disabled people can work without losing their benefits, but are still stuck in forever poverty, and ofc so Goodwill doesn’t have to pay their workers). From my reading of the ussr they largely helped the disabled actually work (within accomodation) and feel productive w/o making them slaves. That’s cute af

          Yeah. I have a few disabled friends too, and it breaks my heart to see them fighting and struggling to survive because they aren’t obviously visibly disabled enough, so they’re constantly under scrutiny and they are constantly questioned about whether or not they really can’t work a normal job or not. It’s an awful, dehumanising system that assumes the worst out of society’s most vulnerable people. All of them want to work, to give back to others, to give back to society, but they can’t because the sort of work they can do isn’t productive and profitable enough.

      Or at the very least get to the point where people stop thinking libertarianism is “a crazy new idea that might just work” and start seeing it for the noncery that it is.

    Bruh doesn’t trust white people to do the right thing without a state, so their solution is to give white people a state and then… trust them to do the right thing anyway.

        I’m applying the same standards to their model of the state as they apply to anarchism. They assume anarchism will have no antiracist action, so I assume they haven’t heard of antiracist action.

      A marxist state will never exist in the US without reparations and land back being major platforms, and without the broad support of poc and the indigenous.

      And why put words in their mouth? People usually don’t read the articles (read the articles btw people, I CAN TELL YOU JUST READ THE HEADLINES THEN POST), but you didn’t even read the entire tweet
