I get what you’re going for but communism isn’t synonymous with Marxism-Leninism even if it eventually became the dominant ideology under the communist umbrella. I mean the term even predate Marx’s birth

Some of the tendencies you see i attribute to vanguardism and somewhat to democratic centralism. Lenin proosed the need for a disciplined revolutionary party (the vanguard) which differs from marx’s ideas that the working class will organize itself organically and eventually seize power which would be the dictatorship of the proletariat. How democratic the dictatorship of the proletariat would be differs from who you ask but essentally it refers to the rule of the working class as opposed to the bourgeoisie which does not necessarily translate to a dictatorship but rather who holds the dominant political power.

Marx did have a lot of beef with anarchists during the first international and how often he engaged with them in good faith is uncertain so take the following with a bit of salt. But i find it interesting that in his engagement with anarchists or specifically with a text Sergey Nechayev wrote he mockingly responded claiming it to be a display of crude and authoritarian form of communism (barracks communism) and critized it for what he claimed to proposing a very unaccountable system beholden to a overarching comitee. While he used this as an excuse for the expulsion of the anarchists in the first internationale, I find it very interesting how the man who the soviet union claims to take from even critized an anarchist for being authoritarian. In general i personally find very much interest in socialist ideologies that do not take from more authoritarian tendencies. To name a few, orthodox marxism, council communism, anarcho-communism or libertarianism (not the lassiez faire kind the older kind) I believe to find very much contrast in compared to to more authoriarian ideologies. BTW thanks for reading all that. I know that was kinda disproportinally long but its very interesting and does get complicated fast.

Not fully anarchist by my own standards but I’m excited enact my evil authoritarian plan of bottum up direct-democracy mohahaha.

Hm maybe 1585?

Personally kind of radical even for the social democracy i live in so I’m heavily biased but I feel like when people do talk about US-American democracy democracy as a term (rule of the people) is doing so much heavy lifting to maybe a comical extent.

While the Republican party is obviously much worse the Democratic party was still garbage. As an outsider I’m getting the impression that a lot of the momentum Trump was getting was repurposing radical thought because people while not understanding at all what Trump was doing and are at best naive felt unrepresented, abondened and overlooked and often rightfully so. That the election race was like it was does not feel like a coincidence but rather a show of how undemocratic the system really is. Besides its not like the system has not sponsored a range of fascistic coups externally to further its own interests.

Im rambling but I kind of see a liberal election as being able to pick your opposition, not your allies.

…Ciao!

Looking at the art. It looks like David Revoy (artist of the libre comic “Pepper & Carrot”) has made this so you’d have to ask him. ;)

Have you guys considered making a way for content creators to monetize their content? I am not one myself but I realize it’s often a source of income they depend on and would be willing to use money to see such content myself.

Correct. Felt like risking using the word without redundant labels when answering “What kind of leftist are you?”. Results could be better but it was kinda fun seeing so many responses ngl

Can I run Linux on it? Or better yet Gentoo? “You having a headache?” “Just compiling the system. Lending some brain power”

Also what kind of authoritarian leftist are you? The left landscape is kind of weak where I am so I am actually member of an authoritarian leftist party as they are the only ones locally I know whose comfortable carrying the label of revolutionary. Feels like grasping at straws but its something for now maybe.

No? I prefer trains. (Not referring to anything special its just that public tranport is goated)

Can’t say I heard of him. I try focusing on reading anarchist theory atm. Halfway though conquest of bread at least. Though some personalities like Noam Chomsky and David Graeber are interesting.

Eeew? Sad leftist noises Can’t we just conquer bread or something together? sniff sniff

Nah as using it with some respect to its orgins of being coined by Joseph Déjaque as a synonym to anarchism as it was illegal at the time. Personally use it as an umbrella term for anti-authoritarian socialist thought. Not whatever “Libertarians” do in the USA.

I’d probably be a slow adopter tbh. Feel like you would wany such a chip to be quite trustworthy and reliabld. Proprietary software and hardware is not the most trustworthy thing in the world…

A libertarian myself thanks for asking.

For me its a bit mixed. Maybe “Building a Water Cooled Server Rack for <name>”. Its a title after all and should be somewhat unique. Dearrow can sometimes hurt this uniqueness in my case.

I mean easy to fork but to install might be a challenge and may also put you at risk with the legal system.
