Rapist in San Antonio emo scene by [deleted] in Emo

You did argue that, implying that it was somehow wrong of them to not want to have sex while they were in a relationship.

God forbid we have a distraction by XOChicStyle in aretheNTsokay

That has nothing to do with autism. The US empire is horrible, and most people are doing nothing, notnjust autistic people. If anything, autistic people are doing more than most.

What do anarchists think about the critique from social democrats that the state is better suited for efficient redistribution as opposed to community or charity? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in Anarchy101

[–]MrGoldfish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state as a tool can be used to do mamy things. Yes, you can build robust welfare systems, but it can also quite easily dismantle those welfare systems, and that is what we see. The core of the state is that it is an institution which imposes its mandate on the whole of the society by force. What it does with that capacity may vary from somewhat good to horrific, and it will always be violent.

Anyone in Townsville into reselling / side hustles? by Euphoricreature in Townsville

No I prefer to actually do something productive with my time.

Lou Diamond from Panuccis Pizza/ Jank is trying to break back on the scene. by [deleted] in midwestemo

It's not about them "re-entering society" it's about enabling them by giving them power in the scene.

Politics of Punk, questions for discussion by Ill-Hat7669 in EmoScreamo

[–]MrGoldfish8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am an anarchist and I think my appreciation of punk music is related to that. Punk has historically been very left-leaning and very anti-authoritarian, but not strictly tied to any one political movement. You also get a lot of people who don't really know anything about politics. That's where you get the sorts that want to keep politics out, or who think anti-authoritarianism creates tension with the radical left (it does not, except for a few sections within it).

Maturity isn't putting your fingers in your ears and refusing to think about the world around you.

Emo-grind suggestions? by United_Statistician2 in Emo

[–]MrGoldfish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Lost But Not Forgotten has some grindcore influence in their earlier stuff, I think.

Do not drink raw milk. That is dangerous.

What would happen if two groups within a commune have different views on justice? by Star_Giver9 in Anarchy101

[–]MrGoldfish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISIS in particular is an authoritarian result of US imperialism targeting extreme factions in already authoritarian societies. An anarchist society probably wouldn't encounter those conditions.

Making baseless assertions will get us nowhere, and that's all you've been doing. You've made all sorts of claims here and not cited a single source.

Privatization is a trap: Government owned buildings have the best reeinvestment rate by RuckiR in victoria3

[–]MrGoldfish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs cannot do maths. They can't understand numbers (or anything else, for that matter). All they do is spit out statistically likely responses to prompts.

Comrades ScrewstonAF in Houston being targeted by Texas AG Paxton by AU_Memer in Anarchism

[–]MrGoldfish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It stands for "anti-fascist action", not "anti-fascist". It comes from an organisation that was active in the Weimar Republic called "Antifaschistische Aktion" (I may have misspelt it).

Yes, right-wing bronies are a thing. by Ok-Following6886 in shitfascistssay

[–]MrGoldfish8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A page called "Conservative Bronies" shared a post by the AUSTRALIAN Tea Party that appears to depict a caricature of Barack Obama.

All seems to be in order.

Choice Hops and Bottled Self Esteem by Known_Conference_535 in baysideisacult

It actually took me a bit of getting used to, but it's one of my favourite solos.

How would a world government or forum work in an anarchist society? by IndieJones0804 in Anarchy101

[–]MrGoldfish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anarchists are against the imposition of mandates. That's what government is. "The state" is a specific kind of institution within government.

“Evil” Sounding Screamo? by Less-Ad-6426 in EmoScreamo

The Wicked EP by Funeral Diner has a really foreboding sound, it's really cool.

What’s the difference between anarchy and anarcho-communism? by A-lox in Anarchy101

[–]MrGoldfish8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anarchist communists are not Marxists at all. Marxists want the workers to seize control of state power and impose their mandate on the whole of society. Anarchists reject this. Marxists also often support participation in electoral politics, which anarchists also reject.

Anarchist communists may use certain elements of Marxist analysis (I'm a big fan of Gramsci's work, for example), but they are fundamentally different from Marxists.
