This really is the apotheosis of identity politics. I don't know how it can get much worse than voting for Mussolini as the "harm reduction candidate."

"But you will get a better, more consistent cup of coffee from an automatic machine that dispenses the right amount of water at the right temperature in such a way that ensures the water is in contact with the grounds for the right amount of time."

I think this is probably the quote I will find most objectionable on this website however. I've never heard of an automatic machine with a barometer and hygrometer

Doktor Avalanche posted:

anarchism seems to have as its basic premise that there exists a non-anarchist society which produces things anarchists need and which can be raided for supplies
the success of the anarchist society depends on the success of these raids

Anarchism has some merits as an ideology for living within capitalism without trying to destroy it. Weird sort of ideology to have but having been exposed to Gen X type apathy in my formative years I can see the appeal.

I was looking at a book by an author that calls themselves an "autonomous marxist" and this led me to reading the wikipedia entry for "libertarian socialism" which apparently is the best and most successful and only correct way of doing socialism, unlike the totalitarian ones that suck and fail

I can be forgiving of how the Italians might get to autonomism given their context and failures but it's a weird thing to pick up out of that context. they do write some books with fun stuff to consider.

This is the only setting where anarchy works and it extends no further than that.

I guess I’m just not very knowledgeable of the history of it but libertarian socialism seems like a contradiction in terms. In any case, thanks to cspam I’m mostly suspicious of anarchist narratives so if you have a recommendation for learning about autonomism I’m curious as to how it relates to Marxism

"libertarian socialism", like a lot of (but I suppose technically not all) off-shoot leftist tendencies, comes from people falling for capitalist propaganda about Actually Existing Socialism.

if you're the type of left-winger who buys into the whole story about how """Stalinism""" is both a totally real thing AND is bad, but you still want to be a left-winger, you then craft a bespoke left-wing ideology that wants to continue calling itself socialist (or even communist!), but tries to distance itself from Stalinism. Stalin was a brutal dictator, etc etc etc, so therefore we'll make our own socialism that... uh... is non-authoritarian, yeah, sure, that's it
