[dude with glasses in a communist t-shirt, arguing] I’m the only leftist here, your opinions are TRASH

[dude holding a theory book on smug, arguing] Read theory you losers, you’re all WRONG

[dude in an anarchist hoodie, arguing] Nuh-uh, I’m the only leftist here, you’re SHITLIBS

[the three dudes are now caught in a cartoon fight, glasses gone flying, punches everywhere, while a firing squad of nazis are targeting them with rifles]

[a confused nazi asks] Why… why are they still arguing?

    My point has been consistent throughout, a state wielding its power is authoritarian, but that can be a good thing. Labeling oneself as “anti-authoritarian” is usually a thought-terminating cliché to oppose socialists that support the use of the state against the bourgeoisie.

      Then maybe you didn’t read the conversation
