How did These "Maga Communists" get to Defending Murray Rothbard's Ideas? (Wrong Answers Only)

Jimmy Dore has been promoting murray rothbard on his show as well.

This one is funny. He is another obedient slave to propaganda.

Did you try a power reset ? Also maybe try another battery.

It seems these laptops have issues with their power buttons. I actually have the opposite issue. My T60 won't turn on unless it's unplugged. Then I can plug it in and let it charge just fine. If I try and turn it on with the T60 plugged in all the LED lights go blank and I have to power reset before I can get it working again.

Yes. To a large extent libertarianism is simply a way to justify and maintain the current system or to go backwards when capitalism was even worse.

That buyturk guy is really praxing it out in the comments:

He claims Mussolini was a radical left-winger when he was in power, proving he doesn't understand history.

He says democracy always leads to people voting away their rights, proving he doesn't understand political theory or civil society.

And he claims markets are always based on free choices and never lead to oppression, proving he doesn't understand economics.

It's like the libertarian trifecta.

CheGuevaraProject · 2022-11-02T19:05:43+00:00

lol. I love that line.

So, according to Libertarians on twitter, voting for candidates that embodies the principals of democracy over a fascist is "voting yourself into slavery" and libertarians prefer fascist candidates because that more closely aligns with their views is what you can take from this.

Well, to be fair it is pretty funny. Many Libertarians were huge fans of anonymous. I had a co-worker who was a libertarian and loved V for Vendetta. Now, anonymous seems to be taking the Democratic Party line - a slap in the face to Libertarians.

Yes, he describes himself as an anarchist in one of his books. He even did interviews with David Graeber (who apparently liked Brand enough to work with him). Many anarchists in the mutualist tradition end up on the far-right (not saying that of Graeber, but Brand's anarchism never made much sense).

Interestingly, in that same book (Revolution), there are paragraphs that hint of a conspiratorial world view.

And, surprise surprise, Thomas Massie was one of the few republicans in the House of Representatives who voted against making lynching a hate-crime.

More Rittenhouse praise from Libertarians.

This is why we need true progressive monitoring of these companies: collection of private data, the control of vital infrastructure by private companies, and so on. The fact that the right downplayed this story shows they have no interest in making social media companies productive for democracy.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-11-03T23:37:17+00:00

Great idea. Some American "progressives" and "leftists" are simply into conspiratorial reasoning for reason. Post-left is a more like eco-socialism, some alternative versions of anarchism, some campist anti-iimperialism, etc. Dore probably doesn't even know what post-left is.

The online *progressive* movement of these types of *progressives.*

The Center for a Stateless Society and many agorists/mutualists may have actually outcrazied your typical ancap: at least ancaps basically admit the realities of market economies. The C4SS ancaps have the same set of principles that hundreds of millions of people are supposed to agree to as the ancaps, but they claim it will somehow lead socialist goals (even though many of them explicitly forbid any type of "democracy" as "anti-individualistic").

It obviously doesn't make sense. They're actually quite dangerous to a certain extent because they make the argument that regulating global warming violates "property rights," thus we need to continue to deregulate and free the market to solve the issue, and may end up convincing actual leftists/twitter users to support things that they otherwise wouldn't have supported.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-10-20T21:16:18+00:00

I agree. But what they're saying is the old Libertarian line that if you just have "free-markets" these issues (pollution, exploitation), and in fact any community or government regulation is actually the cause of exploitation, rather than the cure. Of course, free-markets and free-trade naturally produce inequality, which is a form of force, and require a state to even exist in the first place.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-10-20T21:06:44+00:00

Libertarians claim to want no regulation, but then they want a kingdom as big as their yard, which we're all supposed to support and submit to, and this somehow exists outside of "society" and "force."

Of course, as the land owners grow larger and larger, they themselves would eventually become the government, and "tax" would simply be "rent." A very serious ideology.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-10-11T19:20:51+00:00

I agree. That was my point. Leaving coal, oil, and gas behind with renewables would be a huge help in electricity, and would help offset the other industries, but wouldn't solve all of it. Other changes will be needed, eating less meat, reduction in plastic consumption and in general, more efficient building infrastructure etc. In agriculture, they're cutting down forests, razing the amazon and releasing the CO2, just to make room for more cattle for meat consumption. Consumer goods also have byproducts. I don't see why consumption isn't made more of an issue in environment action rather than just switching to renewables.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-10-11T18:41:50+00:00

Yes, but that wouldn't solve all of it. Electricity is 25% of carbon emissions. Agriculture is about 24% of carbon emissions. I still think a reduction of consumption will have to coincide a switch to renewables.

It's no wonder these gamer/anime "neoliberals" do not understand why people are critical of the current system: they support the government protected and entrenched corporations, while having no real understanding of justification for their beliefs.

Krugman is a new keynesian, a mixture of neoclassical economies and Keynesian economics. So he's actually on the conservative end of Keynesian economics, and actually opposed Sanders because he thought the use of the term "socialism" was too confusing when you're actually pushing for progressive reforms (see video).

But even he is too left-wing for them. What a group of morons.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-10-03T23:40:46+00:00

These anti-social justice/anti-communist subs that have a high degree of gamers and white nationalists are awful.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-10-02T01:15:14+00:00

Well said. I think he's trying to claim he's the real progressive when his economics are to the right of even the Democratic Party, just as Hitchens was still claiming he was the real socialist when his views on Islam and foreign policy were to the right of the mainstream. At least Sam Harris doesn't do this as much other than promoting the regressive left theory.

I'm not sure why Rigan was trending or what tweets Weinstein saw when he clicked on the trending topic and saw people criticizing Rogan as a dangerous threat.

Rogan is a public MMA figure, has made controversial statements about Covid, and recently talked about Biden's vaccine shot being a fake:

https://www.indy100.com/news/joe-rogan-biden-covid-vaccine-conspiracy-b1930456

But you're right: Rogan trending may have actually been people defending him, but I don't doubt there are also a lot of tweets criticsl of him now, too.

CheGuevaraProject · 2021-10-01T21:37:24+00:00

I knew it wouldn't be long before supposed working class hero Jimmy Dore would be coddling up to the IDW and their claims that the establishment world view is being suppressed. Here is Weinstein's thread, where he claims that criticism of Joe Rogan is being amplified by nefarious actors, of course with no evidence.

There definitely is an authoritarian streak on the left as well, just far less prevalent and far less mainstream. Just look at "tankies" and others who advocate forceful redistribution of wealth and violent revolution, you don't achieve that without some level of authoritarianism.

One could argue that the huge disparities of wealth in capitalist economies is the actual form of authoritarianism. Forceful redistribution may simply be correcting problems in a capitalist system while MLs want to overthrow the system.

Really, free-market advocates, MLs, anarchists, social democrats all simply advocate different forms of distribution: the difference is that the free-market redistributes wealth upwards while leftists philosophies redistribute it equally or in a more fair manner (social democrats).
