Totalitarian motives of soviet architecture and urban planning are always overlooked by leftists:
>wide streets and walkways served to reduce the individual, make one feel small and futile against the state (very evident in cities like Minsk),
>walkable cities, although a good thing, paired with very restricted access to cars were also an instrument to reduce citizens' mobility,
>cinemas were a necessity because of state-controlled film's role in propaganda.
These double-purposes are prominent throughout soviet planning policy, including the GULAGs. The ussr also had some classist housing - certain buildings and blocks were given to the nomenclature and intelligentsia, such as the prized Houses of Science and Culture, as well as many other soviet buildings surrounding city centres. Speaking of preservation, a couple of years ago a top floor balcony collapsed off of one of the residental buildings in my town, smashing other balconies in it's path. Many soviet buildings, especially from the late 70s and throughout the 80s are simply too expensive to rennovate as they are rapidly deteriorating due to various corners being cut in materials and construction.

this is libtard anarkiddie propaganda

The first part made me think this is bait but the second part makes me think you might be actually stupid.
Can you clarify?

narrow streets are an absolute pain to navigate on foot. feel free to come to old districts of petrograd and experience the joys of monarchoid city planning bumping into people since it's too narrow for two to fit on the sidewalk



 

Question for “Christian anarchists”:

Why do you deny Jesus came to earth to establish a government? Why do you act as if religion wasn’t fully intertwined with the state and all religious institutions were de facto government institutions, and that the Church in which Jesus established was meant to be a government?

If not, what did Jesus leave behind? A Bible that wasn’t fully compiled and finalized until centuries after His death by… the Catholic/Orthodox Church?

And yes, the Church is both a spiritual AND earthly authority, so please don’t come at me with the “Jesus was only against earthly hierarchies not spiritual ones” cope.

No one is genuinely religious in the 21st century outside of schizophrenics, it’s all just culture and the social contract

>>2527476
>You literally need to believe in God and the divinity of Jesus in order to be a Christian.

No, you don't. You can define it however you see fit, that's the whole secret to religion is everyone really just makes it up themselves. Ask a thousand people what being a Christian/Jew/Muslim/Hindu/etc. means to them personally and you will get a thousand different answers.

bruh, I can't. Sorry for shitposting.

REAL ASS TAKE OF THE WEEK

religion can be interpreted in any way because it's all bullshit anyway, so there is no need to fight christian anarchists or christian socialists, whatever reason you have to be a radical left winger is cool and helps.

What's their fucking problem? Their membership ranges from genuine MLs all the way to reactionary rejects. Do they think the way to build communism is to adopt all the worst and most aggravating positions held by the now defunct black hammer?

<The form of capitalist society in which the bourgeoisie rules by open, terroristic violence against the people, as opposed to bourgeois democracy. As an extreme form of bourgeois nationalist rule, fascism often also includes rabid forms of racism, often to the point of genocide. The most vicious and notorious example was Nazi Germany (1933-1945).
All capitalist countries have at least some elements of fascism, to one degree or another, and to the extent that the bourgeoisie thinks these elements are “necessary” in order to maintain their rule. Nevertheless, we call those countries which allow relatively more freedoms of speech, of the press, of association, and allow at least some mass protest bourgeois democracies, while those countries which have few if any such freedoms we call fascist.

“Fascism is the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialist elements of finance capital.” —Statement of the Enlarged Executive of the Communist International, Moscow, 1933.

Fascism is imperialism in it's most reactionary form.
All imperialist societies contain elements of fascis

Of the few communists I've ever encountered, zero were baristas, and it wouldn't even matter if they were. And I doubt you go outside at all, because how in the hell would you even determine this? This just sounds like the bitter imaginings of an anti-social youth who lives in a world of hypothetical interactions, who spends every moment rationalizing his assumptions on life to himself.
>Meanwhile ACP are on the streets working with the people that's how I know about them
I've never seen this. I'm a tradesman.

ZA HASANU, ZA BURGURU
Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid. 🏈 💵

by your own logic you're wrong, you've only done the "legal" stuff, and you've yet to do the "illegal" stuff, you're a poser who just wants to feel good while you jerk off to the idea of your imagined enemies being killed while doing nothing than imagining yourself as the next lenin, get in line pal, you're nothing special

>>2527634
I’m a USSR defender but they failed, they couldn’t over come U.S. hegemony. You can cry unfair all you want but nobody said the bourgeoisie would play fair. So the only conclusion is that either Marxism-Leninisim is a dead end that can only achieve rapid industrialization and national liberation (Worthwhile goals and extremely impressive results imo) acting as a shortcut for semi-feudal societies to leap frog and create the conditions for a bourgeois class to emerge. Or the U.S just makes communism impossible so only revolution here will achieve communism, and any attempts by the periphery are pointless.

>>2527651
yeah you're right, China's doing it, but its just the nature of the state to never be fully be 100% ideologically captured by a political party at any one time, even a one party state

>>2527624
it was still quite enough a difference to matter though.



 

I'd rather see Haz sperg out because at least he's right, or just not this wrong. I hate the moralism of this, because these spergs act so smug but are so wrong on very basic questions. When tankies are wrong it's stupid and funny, they don't necessarily think they're superior, but when the libleft is wrong they're smug assholes about it. People in the third world can't just set up some anarchist free love commune, they actually have to chose something.
The thing these people can't understand and their fundamental philosophical defect is that when Mao said all political power grows from the barrel of a gun, he didn't mean it in just a literal sense, but metaphorically, that to do politics requires power, and for guys like this any power automatically becomes state violence. It's the same reason the NAP is a logical fallacy.(/isg/)

Duhhh anon, the whole reason for their belief system is so that they can feel morally superior and smug. It's not about coming to some understanding and trying to change it for the better, it's about being the most morally righteous. It's probably a holdover from Christian cultural brainwashing. They are morally correct and you are basically an apostate/ fascist to them, ie a person who disagrees with them, actually opposes the status quo and/or is mean

For one big example, Look at all that had to happen for the Bolsheviks to succeeded
>WW1
>Nicholas making the decision to go to the front line to lead the troops
>The February Revolution
>Kerensky re-entering Russia into WW1
>Kerensky's government collapsing because he tried to orchestrate a coup on himself and then double crossed the Army by arming red militias in petrograd
>The liberals giving the Bolsheviks(among other parties) guns to help stop the Army from overthrowing the provisional government.
>The other socialist parties(which were more popular) believing Lenin would reinstall the constituent assembly
>When the SRs did rise up they refused to execute captured bolshevik officers or do much of anything.
>When the Petrograd sailors rebelled they sat on their island printing newspapers hoping that the people of Russia would realize Lenin was a big meaniehead and get rid of him.

Obviously the future is not a wide-open blank slate where anything can happen. Even massive upheavals like the First World War had observable conditions. But the way it unfolded(with Belgium being invaded and Britain, followed by America, entering the conflict) was due to random chances and the decisions of a handful of individuals.

Lol, shit liberals say
"
I think everyone knows, but keep eyes open for provocateurs. Protectors of the philes will be out there, and they will take ANY opportunity to escalate things in a peaceful protest"

Hate libs so much

They're not wrong that glowies will show up encouraging random violence at protests. No useful communist is going to just show up and start telling people to be violent lol. Militancy requires discipline.

Both the left and the right-wing of capital, liberals and conservatives, complain about cultural languages dying out. But it's not some pure past you can hang onto with pride, it's the result of how societies evolve through their economic and productive systems. There's nothing sacred about it and, frankly, the fewer languages acting as a barrier to a global proletariat the better. If you want to learn a dead language so much you can do it on your own time thanks to the internet these days.

Flattening/Abolishing the Reactionary Gender Binary by forcing all Women to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter), Banning Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/lipstick, replacing Reactionary “Natural” Childbirth with Artificial Wombs, and forcing everyone to wear Mao Suits (Capitalist Business suits are Banned as well), is extremely Historically Progressive as it will both liberate Women from the Reactionary Superstructural chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, and dramatically reduce the rates of Gender Dysphoria, with the caveat that Sex Changes will be Free and Legal if you still really want one so it is the Dialectical opposite of Transphobia, and Flattening/Abolishing the Reactionary Gender Binary will simultaneously eliminate the Superstructural basis of Sexism, Transphobia, Homophobia, and Patriarchy, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!


>>2503473
there is no evidence that androgyny would work to alleviate gender dysphoria from transfems "dramatically" as you claim

the reality is it would just hurt those of us who need the expression for a feminine identity

Also what about trans girls who dont feel like they look like a girl with short hair

you are not abolishing the gender binary, you are reinforcing it by implementing different rules for the two genders

men can grow long hair too btw

How many protests with millions of people does it take for liberals to realize that protesting accomplishes practically nothing? It is legitimately baffling to me that they seemingly never realize that.

>Though im sure people are trying to use them to organize it's not easy
It never works out because that people that go to protests are not those interested in long term organization. You said so yourself, it's a psychological relief not as a first method of struggle (if you can call protests/demonstrations that are just walks with little to no political substancr).

Who actually went to those protests breh

Idk things have happened as a result of protests/marches in the past, but they do seem pretty much dead in the water in the current day it's true

You are assuming that liberals want to change something
