The meme's meaning aside:
Luddites weren't what you think they were.
Real Luddite:
I am starving. I will smash your machines and riot, because I am DYING. I just wanna LIVE. My conditions are worsening! AAAAAAAH!
What people think Luddites were:
I just, idk, hate machines, man.
Campists would rather westerners self-flagellate online and discourage people within the imperial core from organizing against their governments than they would organize real people with complex backgrounds. On the ground, people aren't perfect. Your echo chamber is irrelevant.
Just your regular reminder that there is no such thing as a socialist state.
Either the workers have direct control and it's not a state or they don't have direct control and it's not socialism.
"In February 1923, she moved to Moscow and announced her resignation from the Communist Party at a Komsomol meeting, and that she was joining the anarchists..."

@NLH2224 Also the USSR funded African rebel groups because of realpolitik not out of some genuine anti-colonialism, I mean Nazi Germany literally gave Ethiopia weapons during the Italo-Ethoipian war, that doesent mean that Nazi Germany gave a fuck about the lives of Ethiopians.
@KellMorrHK@RioKora@AliceBright_ The enclosure system and imperialist grabs of land are the reason most land is private and not communally owned in the modern day.
@KellMorrHK@RioKora@AliceBright_ Similair processes to enclosure happened in other countries its just a form of primitive accumulation of capital. Also bringing up Facebook just fits my point since its the .1% of cases that actually succeed, startup businesses fail all the time even with lots of initial money.
@KellMorrHK@RioKora@AliceBright_ Its "allowed" but impossible for 99.99999% of people
Current property rights are a product of imperialism and internal colonization, look up enclosure.
There's something so deeply funny about shit like this because there's no difference between a " settler " state and your average bourgeoisie state
Israel isn't different than Turkey or china or Ethiopia or Russia or any other nationalist state that genocided and erased

Me: Isreal is still foundationally anti-Black at its core. No theorizing about Jewish supremacy will escape the fact that it operates within the confines of anti-Black logic.
Half of… “the left” on twitter:
Materialist analysis doesn’t deny that poor men can perpetrate horrific violence against women and queer people. It rejects the idea that these relations are ahistorical or can be understood as products of individual morality, detached from the social conditions that shape them.
@FreedomFlaming0@DiodLeAnarchist I wish she would actually cite sources or provide context for any of her videos, but its clear that most if not all of her characterizations are purely ideations of things too complex to understand purely endogenically.
