“Tesafilm” is more common or just Tesa. I would have assumed it to be the same in Austria but I guess we both learned something today

In german ppl call adhesive tape “tixo” like the company producing it.

Do you mean Tesa? I’ve never heard Tixo but maybe we live in different parts of Germany?

Fun fact: when the verb “to google” came into existence, Google was against it because they weren’t yet the monopoly they are now and they feared that using the term for other search engines would undermine their importance.

I use the term even though I use other search engines

How many of them were Russians? Russia was the biggest part of the USSR and they didn’t dissolve the union but the other (smaller) states left.

NEIN

No, it’s not fine. The climate crisis is real and we solve it by taxing the poor.

True. I think that’s something most Marxists and anarchists can agree on.

Well, you seem to have a point here. It’s a blind spot I should look more into. But I already have a long reading list since there are many things I’d like to know more about. Tbh after your first comment I hesitated to react at all because I have enough of communists claiming that anarchists don’t read books. It’s so stupid and I can’t hear it anymore and you don’t make friends with such claims. But your quote that did not really contradict my point triggered me enough to answer.

That out of the way: “authoritarian” is a very loose term and you can make it mean anything to justify those that fit the term. Sure, establishing a new system is somehow authoritarian and so is keeping the old one. Everything is authoritarian so it doesn’t matter to have a dictator.

Authoritarianism is about hierarchy and centralism. When Bolsheviks wanted to create a centralized state that follows Moscow, sure it’s an anarchist thing to prevent that. And since they didn’t want to expend outside Ukraine, I still say they were no threat except to the Bolsheviks’ wish to expend. Also: The USSR was much more centralized (and therefore a stronger state) than the Tsar Empire before them.

I could add a thing or two more but I really wonder would arrive with your critics at a place like communism. I mean there were a lot of genocide going on in the USSR and they weren’t nice to different minded people either. From my experience, anarchists have a much easier time to kill their heroes. Tell an anarchist that Bakunin was an antisemite and they will say “yes I know but his ideas are still valid since he didn’t develop them alone and they don’t contain his antisemitism”. Tell a Marxist that Marx falsely accused Bakunin to be a Tsar spy and they will say “but Bakunin was an antisemite”. You get the idea. But maybe you just got to the wrong people.

Maybe we can at least agree that the meme is BS? Or did I misunderstand it?

Maybe allie isn’t the right word and sure, they were “enemies at the level of ideas” since the Blacks were anti-authoritarian and therefore accepted no authority, including the Soviet authority.

You quoted a text against fusion. Makhko seems to be confronted with the accusation that he wants the Blacks to become part of the Soviet union which he didn’t want. He wanted to be neighbors. He didn’t want a Soviet sate in Ukraine but otherwise was ok with them.

Still, the Reds smashed them even tho the Makhnovshchina wouldn’t be a threat. Or would they be since they show that a stateless society is possible without a transitional state?

Well, the USSR did in fact smash the Makhnovshchina. It wasn’t just memes, they fought together against the Whites and then the Reds turned against their former Black allies and destroyed them.

Relatable

Wonna know what really helps again poverty?

Real estate

Thanks for this insight which adds nothing to the conversation since OP already answered me and I agreed with them

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks!

You forgot your password? No problem, here it is: Mb2.r5oHf-0t

I’m not sure if I get that correctly but are you making fun of people protesting against homelessness? Besides: I’m not a native speak but the sign seems totally fine to me and the message totally valid.

And the last three letters don’t even exist in Russian. The last one isn’t cyrillic at all afaik and the one before exists in some languages like Ukrainian and Belarusian but not in Russian. And L again isn’t in any cyrillic alphabet afaik

That would be “die Rolle die”

The video has some. Maybe most best known is the CNT which was a network of free association. A modern example would be Rojava which is not democratic centralism but democratic confederation and therefor decentralized. Of cause, all these are suppressed by all states and therefore it is difficult to implement. Arguably, quite a lot of (but by far not all) organizations before modernity were hieracy free and some still are. the famous anthropologist and anarchist David Graeber once said that anthropologists have a affinity to anarchism because they know it works. He himself did research in Madagascar where, according to him, the state does very little in the rural areas. You should read his work or watch this interview from arround 2005.
