isn't this corbyn stuff just more of the same, just amplified a little more by a craven media running damage control for boris, who has had a terrible couple of weeks?

that said have you copped the guardian home page? so laughably over the top anti labour this weekend. but then what do you expect from an MI5 outlet.

the best twitter genre is comfortable white women accusing socialists of being white. is there a good longread on this pathology?

i think the reason i prefer socialism is because i won't be compelled to take part in "communal projects", i can just pay my taxes, support my union, and be left alone. anarchism is kind of niche and requires me to like other people, which is rare. i don't like most people, i just also don't want to see them suffering.

also anarchism is wholly inadequate for dealing with the kinds of child loving psycho strongmen who run global society, never mind the UK. it has no solution for dealing with that level of entrenched authoritarian evil. lenin did, however, which is why he is the original boy. there's no "reforming" or "rehabilitating" someone who wants you dead, you know? trench them.

I mean anarchism would suggest that the reason you have those kinds of psychos is precisely because of the detached society you express a desire for, without constant communal reinforcement it becomes very easy for people to exploit others in that way.

even if that's true, which i don't think it is, it still doesn't answer how an anarchist society would actually deal with those dark centres of power in the first place.

edit: and from your edit, that's my main problem with the philosophy, it has this weird aversion to and squeamishness about power, and wielding power. power will exist wherever there is a group of people and some are more charismatic, attractive, or tougher than others, whether it's in a free market cesspit or an anarchist commune. there's no escaping power. so it's how you use it that matters.

if labour outperforms the polls again and wins, how will the blairites and israel lovers explain the lack of the loving second holocaust they all claim will happen if corbyn is PM

well if the russiagate non-event is anything to go by the libs will keep screaming about it even tho objective reality does not validate their delusions

so idk if anyone is interested but i did a bit of digging into arcuri and given her ties to the maxwells and people involved in the libor scandal, her cyber security "work" and the series of obvious front companies she has been "CEO" of over the last few years, i suspect she is a little more than a mistress who boris paid some money to off the books.

severe hypernormalisation vibes from the blatant insanity and weirdness of tory conference vs. how it's being reported on. everyone with eyes to see knows this is a shambling corpse of a party, but for some reason we are condemned to live in its members' fever dreams while laura k hovers nearby intoning about how serious and ambitious the bonfire of planning regulations is.
