    are the alt left liberals we used to call “tankies” until they claimed that was something only right wingers called all leftists behaving poorly again?

      Hah, well yes, but not relevant to this meme. My comment applies equally to liberal and state capitalist politics tbh :D

        Oh for sure. Any coagulation of power into a single point is bad. Your comment just read to me like you’ve been having to debunk the value of vanguard party politics and an ML state dictator a lot lately.

        But just as bad is a capitalist who believes in no power but the power of a banknote (banks can only exist through theft, and banknotes exist as proxied violence) or a fascist who explicitly aligns their countries industrial and military interests without concern for the banking implications. Didn’t mean to imply your comment only applied to one thing
