Anarchist communism has a theoretical background as old as Marxism does. It is, in fact, the most common philosophy held by anarchists (meaning actual anarchists, not right libertarians), and advocates for the abolition of the traditional state power structure and popular redistribution of the means of production. You perceive it as contradictory because you're conflating communism with the state capitalism practiced in so-called communist states (which is the reason why they wouldn't necessarily use the Soviet style hammer and sickle motif, although it's been somewhat appropriated).

"What...HOW can I indicate, without obscuring the true meaning, that this character is 'anti-free speech'. I need a symbol that would convey this, some sort of...signal to those in the know. Some subtle and masterful way to get my message across..."

My favourite part is the fact that he's labeled it 'Illegal Insurrection' while working on legalinsurrection.com.

It's legal when the Good Guy Conservatives do it! Democrats performing an insurrection are totally illegal thugs though.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


What really gets my goat is that, predictably, he completely ignores how the evil masked anarchists were fighting actual factual women-beating nazis who were bused in specifically to intimidate and disrupt the protest, and the broader implications of the fact that nazis are hanging out with Trump supporters and Pepe flag wavers. No, they're just ANTI CONSTITUTION, there's nothing more complex and genuinely frightening going on. Defund Berkeley because I'm a big stupid idiot!

I have a wingnutty acquaintance who loves Branco and thinks that any criticism of him means that people just don't understand metaphor and political cartooning as a concept.

It's another Assay moment. There are buzzwords that will offend dying boomers (hairless male chests, "queer-eye masculinity", a dude in a dress, women wearing whatever they want :freep:), but to sane, well adjusted humans, it's just "Yeah, attractive people having a :krad: party. What's your point?".

I was going to include some piping hot take about how the generation who got criticized for wearing long hair and bell-bottoms is now getting mad about gauzy skirts and waxed chests, but they were probably the assholes screaming "Better dead than red!" during Vietnam protests and cheering for the cops during the 1968 DNC.

You're reading way too much into it.

One of Horsey's inspirations is Playboy cartoonists. He's not dogwhistling about millenials, but just people watching at some event.

When you start to interpret "women at Coachella wears three variants of these garments" as "women wearing whatever they want :freep:)" you need to take a breather from reading this thread.

I honestly read that Horsey as being pretty positive about the whole thing, especially the note about "polite partiers." That just makes it all sound so fuckin' wholesome.

Horsey's always struck me as someone who's very okay with young people being young people, making young people mistakes and believing young people ideals. We're just all jaded old shits who read that and start immediately looking for double meanings.

He's still an old guy who isn't entirely in touch. Like I laughed at "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy masculinity" because I imagine most 20-year-olds haven't even heard of that show.

I was honestly very happy that he wasn't depicting women a third his age as busty bombshells. Horsey may love titties, but at least he isn't a creeper lusting after people at Coachella.

It seemed to me Horsey was taking swipes at the superficiality of a lot of the event-goers. I don't think he was being particularly critical of the event or of Millennials, though.
