      What’s the difference between liberalism and anarchism? Referring to liberals that support a welfare state and market regulation, not anarcho-capitalists like the American Libertarian Party. Seems very similar to reformist statist anarchism.

        Liberalism support a monopoly on violence, and capitalising the markets. This created the plutocracy that fascists are enjoying today, and continue to enjoy othering and creating the greatest class discrepancy our planet has witnessed.

        Anarchism says no to rulers, no to hierarchies. Total horizontally of power and means. Everyone deserves guns, no cops, no politburo/политбюро. The “markets” would be owned by the workers, and what they produce goes to them completely. No corporate owners or C-suites to steal the means workers produce. Most produce waste would cease, since folks can legally recycle and reuse, instead of disposed of goods.

        Anarchism is therefore incompatible with Liberalism, because Liberals demand monopolies, and Anarchists demand syndicates. One has a rule, the other a federation of rules.

      You mean the people who refused to prevent trump from taking power because “the system is rigged”? Because Harris “doesn’t support the working class”? Who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for such a flawed candidate that it’s definitely the Democrats’ fault that trump won?

      Those fuckwits who gave the current nazis power?

      Those aren’t liberals. They’re idiots.

      Are you American? Did you vote Harris? I’m assuming no on both since they’re “our” deathcamps. So let me tell you what’s wrong with the politics in your country. They’re unfair, unpopular, and lean fascist. You’ll be under your own trump soon, if you’re not already. Any questions.

            Is this how you respond to people in ICE facilities, Guantanamo, CECOT, and now Guyana?

            They’re unfair, unpopular, and lean fascist. You’ll be under your own trump soon, if you’re not already. Any questions.

            If this is ignorance, I think you just summed for me liberals’ kurzgesagt. If it’s rhetorical, then maybe you’re not liberal at all.

      The liberals demonified by trump, however, are more like the party where many members put up resistance even in the face of violence - the SPD. American version of “liberal”, aka anything left of american center.

      But yea neolibs will vote for anything if it makes them money in the short term.
