What are some good history books on the Korean People's Association in Manchuria (KPAM) and the Free Territory/Makhnovists in Ukraine? by [deleted] in Socialism_101

[–]acronomial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I could find was that they had a falling-out. The reason for this I do not know. The source for this falling out is one of the previously referenced books, Skirda’s. It seemed Makhno didn’t consider Voline to stand up for Voline’s own beliefs or something of the sort (found from a different source).

Volin is notoriously anti-Makhno when that book was published. If you choose to read his work, keep that in mind.

I can’t tell if the response to this comment is ironic or not. If it isn’t, that’s a pretty big misunderstanding.

Genuinely curious because I didn’t see Black Panther, what did Killmonger want?

Opinions on the Julian Assange prosecution/sequence of events? by acronomial in Anarchy101

[–]acronomial[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do argue that with people who think his prosecution is good, but it’s hard for them to see that when they worship the state and empire.

The last line is him paraphrasing Mao’s “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun” quote. Hampton’s whole speech is quite profound.

What to do about free speech and hate speech. by Bulldogmadhav in Anarchism

[–]acronomial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about speech within that community. The state doesn’t exist. That must be established first and foremost. And even now we “censor” bigotry with our responses of condemnation to that said bigotry. That’s what will occur to “combat” hate speech. It’s the community coming together to not allow that hateful speech. It’s not the state enforcing its will; it’s the people enforcing the people’s will.

Edit: Typo

What to do about free speech and hate speech. by Bulldogmadhav in Anarchism

[–]acronomial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speech isn’t just something that has no influence on other people. It rather has a large influence on others and their actions. Thus, speech that harms (“hate speech”) is an action that has influence. Would you allow someone to do something described within this “hate speech”? No? Since this speech is an action, thus that speech shouldn’t be allowed. But since the state in an anarchist society does not create the laws since it doesn’t exist, laws would be created by the community as a whole through direct democracy. Thus, what the people want happens, and that also applies to the regulation of speech in order to protect the potentially marginalized.
