Major PTB and hypocrisy. Accelerationists/anti-electoralists are fucking LARPer anarchists, at best, who buy into the same sort of political religion that tankies do. Refusing to use any tools at ones disposal to to stop fascists is pure performative bullshit. Being not just willing but enthusiastic about sacrificing vulnerable people on the altar of socio-political changes that have never in history come from such acts is amoral and in direct conflict with attempting to improve the human condition and establish any sustainable anarchic society.

And before they pile on and say "oh but liberal democracy is fundamentally unjust", well, the world isn't fucking black and white. Making lives worse, by all historical data, just increases human suffering. Want to take to the streets and do some direct action and use other tools of political change? Do it. If you're going to talk the talk, walking the fucking walk or shut the fuck up with the performative claims of moral superiority because all evidence shows that you have done nothing to assuage human suffering but opened the door for those who want to cause more of it.

Also, banning someone for dissent in a comm apparently dedicated to anarchism? That is not behavior in line with anarchic organization and is pure abuse of power over others to give oneself an artificially louder voice. Best to hang up that mod jacket until you learn to stop being a fucking poser.

ETA: Sorry for the aggressive tone but I'm pretty tired of people being too far up themselves to care about how their political actions effect others and even more tired of faux anarchists abusing their power to silence others' voices.

An anarchist not respecting free speech and enforcing rules on a forum is hilarious to me.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

and

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

But I think I should make the rules more explicit about liberal electoralism brainrot.

EDIT:

Here's a more explicit rule for you. but as always the FAFO is in effect for the next time you think something is not explicit enough.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Don't feel too bad, I've run into this shit in real life while trying to get leftists into action. Not even voting, but doing direct things. The idea then was that any action not tearing down the establishment was wasted.

My response? Great to fucking hear that, let's do it. Their response? Leave, you fucking plant.

People are fucking morons.

morally

smh.

voting against fascism

LOL YDI. Liberalism works in cooperation with fascism. All of your politician heroes are working with fascists right now. They're in the same buildings doing the same things. This whole "voting against fascism" when you're talking about a genocidal prosecutor is gross AF.

PTB

Despite this being one of the things i disagree with Pug on, voting for Kamala Harris was objectively the correct choice last election.

The way we escape the Duopoly is to abandon it, but there were no viable 3rd party choices.

Also none of what I said so far can justify the moderation decisions made. Censoring this kind of speech is a bad look for the anarcho-communist community.
