Already libs are down voting and its only been a minute

Context?

Any of the anarchist meme communities on lemmy

Truth hurts, I guess.

But you damn dirty commies disagreed with meeeeeeeeee!

Liberals thinking they're part of the left because reactionaries hate them. Surprise, I don't like them either just for different reasons?

Agreed, if you consider anarchist leftist and not closet-libertarians

Is this even in question? Anarchism quite clearly fits within the sphere of libertarian ideas.

The weird part is thinking that's a bad thing or somehow incompatible with leftism.

...what kind of definition of libertarian do you have, that anarchists aren't included in it?

Edit: There are non-leftist anarchists, like the whole post-left thing, but I have a feeling that's not what you mean

wat ._.

Liberal memes: “Actually the leftists are worse because they don’t want us to be able to get rich even though I said I’m ok with gay people”

• French anarcho-communists invent the synonym "libertarian"
• US fascists locally co-opt the word to obfuscate the inseparable nature of capital and state
• Person on explicitly leftist forums vibe checks that by "anachist" you didn't mean "libertarian"

I'm tired, boss 😂

People on this platform want to be victims so bad. There's more posts about people complaining about other people complaining about them then there actually is.

no, it's the same reason. liberals are still right-wing, they just want to dominate minorities instead of exterminate them. it's still white supremacy and fascism.

This is what liberalism does to you, if you're not a leftist feel free to leave nobody is making you stay and be antagonistic

I'd wager most leftists were liberals before becoming leftists.

So this may convert some new brethren!
Welcome aboard! Fill this glass bottle with gasoline and pass it on.

Not the average leftist, yes, but there is a sizeable number of people with strange beliefs...

Yeah, but they also complain about liberals funnily enough.

They aren't independent of each other.

Anarchists are libertarian revolutionary socialists, WTF?

Surprisingly the ratio is still very high tho (>90%), usually proper socialist memes that are controversial for "left"-liberals get downvoted quite hard here as well

You seem to be thinking how a nationalist (or transnationalist if you simp for the EU) chauvinist liberal...

Who doesn't, honestly? If there's one thing people of all political stripes can agree on it's that liberals are annoying.

I'm not even from the USA lol, literally from Europe.

The EU is a union of financial capital and a bastion of it's own reactionary neo-colonialism and imperialism...

Also you don't sound like a socialist TBH

Hearing the word "reactionary" from a self-proclaimed leftist is a red flag, because it's used the same way right-wingers use "woke". Basically most can't define it without looking it up, or explain how it applies to what they're critiquing.

It's common knowledge for every socialist TBH

A reactionary is somebody who wants to restore a previous status quo. Which us not something the EU is trying to do.

Hearing the word “reactionary” from a self-proclaimed leftist is a red flag,

Oh my good lord... where the fuck do you liberals get this kind of garbage from? PragerU?

Actually based on simple observation, like the fact that I'm seemingly the only one here who has defined "reactionary".

I’d wager most leftists were liberals before becoming leftists.

Well, every person born in the west (and most other parts of the world these days) gets drenched in either liberal and/or fascist ideology (or, more usually, a combination of both) from birth... so that's not exactly a risky wager on your part.

Liberals thinking they’re part of the left because their fellow reactionaries hate them.

Fixed that for you.

Good.

If they weren't it would essentially mean we've lost all relevance.

I’m seemingly the only one here who has defined “reactionary”.

And since when do you get to "define" terms that you obviously don't understand?

I've yet to see any evidence that you know what a reactionary is.

In the socialist/Marxist context it's used differently just FYI

Then what does it mean?

Read carefully, shitlib... try to keep up.

Since when do you get to “define” terms that you obviously do not understand?

You're using "reactionary" the same way right wingers use "woke", but you can't admit that. But you also can't provide a definition, because then the label becomes testable.

You’re using “reactionary” the same way right wingers use “woke”,

Again... where the fuck do you shitlibs get this kind of inane garbage from? Ben Shapiro? Jordan Peterson, perhaps?

Given that I'm the only one here who can define "reactionary", I'm the only real leftist here.

Educate yourself, please: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactionary

It's always the most rancid take from a .world account.

Mix it with oil or styrophor if you want it to burn longer

Given that I’m the only one

So you actually read all that and you still don't have the foggiest clue what it is you are talking about?

What's the matter, shitlib? Don't you like it that we have terms for people like you?

Someone who opposes either an established socialist revolution or is actively defending the capitalist system (e.g. through institutionalized violence, legislation or direct violence through military actions etc. etc.)

Does defending a capitalist system through legislation refer to all legislation aimed to defend the system, e.g. ban on firearms, or just legislation that singles out socialist movements?

I'm assuming institutionalized violence refers to extralegal violence and/or bias in how the law is applied, by disproportionately targeting socialist groups, while turning a blind eye to other groups?

I clearly have more of a clue than you.
