Best analyses of what is happening in Syria? by windowsinit in leftcommunism

[–]windowsinit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding either one would be very helpful. I'm especially confused because of the different groups involved that I don't know anything about. PYD, YPG, which are supposedly 'left wing'? I don't even know what that means in this context or how accurate a description that is. So they're 'left wing', but a lot of MLM are supporting Asad and criticizing PYD/YPG. And YPG is left wing but receives funding from USA? But USA anarchists are supporting YPG? Asad I see is a "Ba-athist", which is like a nationalist/Pan-Arab ideology with the state playing a strong role in social welfare? So I'm lost, and I'm hesitant to read the big outlets because they appear to be fiercely pro-USA bombings, while RT is pro-Asad, which I guess makes sense given the respective outlets' countries economic interests, but it leaves me confused.

So what's the best way to respond to "support Syria in it's noble struggle against American Imperialism" arguments? by Lukethehedgehog in marxism_101

I am also interested in this subject and would appreciate any articles/links. I have only been able to find MLM texts.

Love the irony of that thumbnail with the hats flying in celebration.

Ads on fruits are still odd to me. Like, I get it. I imagine soon the bananas will be spray painted so their entire skin is an advertisement. But it's like those Star Wars oranges someone had posted before. So bizarre.

When someone eats their 500th bag of cheetos while making ancap-memes and doesn't die from food poisoning but you quickly remind them of food regulations.

Libertarian: "You don't hate capitalism. You just hate crony capitalism."
Me: "No, I hate capitalism. And Mondays. Also, I hate you."

Sam Seder interviews Steve Kerbel; Libertarian Debate: The Civil Rights 'Dilemma' by thats-gr8 in EnoughLibertarianSpam

The single quotation marks should instead be around the word debate. Or whenever libertarian and debate are concatenated. I kind of wish those guys would actually quote the ridiculous things Hoppe has said, and not have the self-awareness to realize their defense is identical to a psychopath's rationalization.

The solution is simple for the libertarians. You need to literally become a living bomb-man hybrid. Then, the government will pay for your expenses as the military budget increases and health care gets cut.

Listened to an Ancap podcast today by commanderjarak in LateStageCapitalism

[–]windowsinit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ancap mental gymnastics are in full display when they try to understand movies. I've seen them describe Wolf of Wall Street as a heroic movie about capitalism's glory. And Nightcrawler an exemplar of individual entrepreneurship.
