Is it lost on you that the meme rhymes or is parallel with memes from reactionary conservatives or do you just disagree? To me it looks like when the news focused on the little damage during BLM in order to claim complete wreckage.

Ignorant memeing ain't praxis or revolution. Anarchism and communism (even from ML roots) aren't incompatible. I guess I shouldn't expect cowbee grade responses from everyone or that humans could ever stop themselves from acting human.

    The truth is not black and white.

    The most effective lies contain a kernel of truth.

    Conservatives are right in recognising the flaws of liberalism (which is conservative), especially when poor rural areas (dominated by conservatives more reactionary than liberals) bear the brunt of liberal/neoliberal capitalist economic policy.

    The unfortunate nature of capitalism is that the proletariat have 2 paths that lay before them.

    1. Descend into reactionary ideology (liberalism, fascism, etc.)
    2. Attain class consciousness

    "it lost on you that the meme rhymes or is parallel with memes from reactionary conservatives"

    So no, of course it is not lost.

    Because someone that is "reactionary" or "conservative" agreeing with you does not make you wrong, to think otherwise is dogmatic and reactionary in and of itself.

    The better a grasp you have on dialectics, materialism, historical materialism and the greater your class consciousness the more the above becomes apparent.

    "reactionary conservatives" are very often proletarian first and conservatives second. Unless of course they are petty-bourgeois or bourgeois "reactionary conservatives".

    "To me it looks like when the news focused on the little damage during BLM in order to claim complete wreckage."

    Completely different and completely irrelevant.

    "Ignorant memeing ain’t praxis or revolution. "

    No one said memeing was praxis or revolution. Communists aren't allowed to have fun?

    wee woo wee woo fun police.

    "Anarchism and communism (even from ML roots) aren’t incompatible."

    Yes. They most certainly are.

    Anarchism stems from petty-bourgeois individualism and liberalism.

    The better you understand liberalism the more this becomes apparent.

    Due to Anarchism's inherent foundation that rest upon liberal ideas such as:

    1. Freedom of association
    2. Individual freedoms/liberties being far more important than collective freedoms. (Which is ironic because true individual freedom is only obtained in the context of collective freedom through an individuals relationship with the collective)
    3. Decentralized competing communes (as opposed to a united collective whole).
    4. Liberal notions about individual/private ownership of the means of production as opposed to collective ownership

    Need I say more?

    Or will you actually read?

    I recommend starting with Mao (as it's easy).

    Then read Lenin, starting with State and Revolution.

    Then Left-Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder.

    I wish you luck, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

    You cannot help but collapse the context or at best come in running without taking a second to see if your sermon was even applicable.

    The person I replied to, not you, took my critique of a meme and brought up revolution and you have inserted yourself ignorant of the context. I'm not in here smearing communism even as anarchism is being smeared.

    You are so wonderfully erudite that my lumpen self cannot help but bask in your secondhand smoke.

    Congratulations, you managed to say absolutely nothing of substance and instead resorted to critiquing my character instead of my argument.

    It is very clear that you do not read.

    Lumpen indeed.

    May you one day be capable of more than assuming and skimming. If that isn't written plainly enough, there is little hope.
