Thank fuck. I thought Lemmy was some ultra militant leftist hellhole before the shift.
I don't like extreme radical left any more than extreme radical right.
Fuck Che Guevara. Read a book.
tankies arent radical left. they are authoritarians ffs
already have. maybe u should get urself another book to read for once.
lmao
the main idea is dual power structures. spreading awareness, and people will do whats necessary, mobilize, organize, all that fun stuff. if u can teach people about the struggles of marginalized groups, they will be able to recognize it in their own lives and stand up against it.
and there wont be a need for political parties to enforce "compliance", people are naturally empathetic. well not all people, but the vast majority.
try "Are you an anarchist? the answer might surprise you" by David Graeber, if ur ever looking for something else.
or "Anarchy works" by Peter Gelderloos for a more comprehensive description of these ideas.
Do you know its possible to read books and disagree with them?
The ML obsession with treating books as religious tomes is getting tiring.
what if the book is Che Guevaras "Guerrilla Warfare"
Is being a good tactician and being a genocidal, totalitarian extremist an oil and water situation?
He can be both.
How about Saw Gerrera?
Saw Gerrera is an extremist and must be brought to justice for the good of the Empire.
This, but unironically. That man lost it and became a monster.

Che Guevara did a lot of good for people, like the people of Cuba. Considering he fought, and helped Cuba free itself from being a colony to the United States and against Batista. I didn't know people fighting for the right to not be under colonial rule and have their own self determination is "extreme".
Also maybe go check out "On revolutionary medicine" by Che Guevara. I'll also leave this quote from him.
