However, unlike most (in fact nearly all) other corners of the globe, Marxism-Leninism is not the dominant philosophy of rebellion amongst Westerners, but rather various currents of “the libertarian left,” including “democratic” ““socialists””, left-communists, but predominantly and especially anarchists. Which leads into the topic of this essay, illustrating a larger functional problem of anarchism — that it overwhelmingly fails to produce tanks. No, really.
Ya know what. He’s got a point there. Now I am just thinking of something like the local bike clinic but for tanks. We gotta step up our tank game. The last innovation in mechanized warfare from anarchists was the tachanka.
I tell ya, after watching the wars in Syria and Iraq and Ukraine, I am OBSESSED with padding my numbers of tanks in a prospective war. It all comes down to those tracked, turreted, armored fighting vehicles that are great investments and not easily countered by anything that is not another tank- certainly nothing that infantry can carry individually.
Anybody knows what happened to Dash and he stopped posting?
If you have the time by the way, go through all his stuff. It’s gold. Particularly these three:
Not sure, but dash did become a maoist ultra, and wrote a bunch of articles about the PRC being capitalist. Very unfortunate because they have some excellent articles.
That’s sad to hear.
I’d love to know what happened to Dash as well, he produce some absolutely fantastic content.
Still active on Reddit as dashthered. I think they were one of the ultra mods of r/communism.
Yeah, I remember him, though I hadn’t interacted with him there much.
I had to read until the end to read something that wasn’t tired strawmans.
And even then, instead of digging into history to produce some valuable insight, the substance of “anarchists create something that is a state in all but name” is a low-effort meme.
I’d like my 6 minutes back.
At this point I am used to the straw men and being a punching bag. I usually just ignore it.
*strawmen. Sry for the nitpcik
strawmanarchy
