    I gave up arguing with anyone I even slightly agree with. In my wildest dreams I’ll get to bicker with them at a city council meeting about what version of leftism we like best. You go to the revolution with the wild-eyed dreamers (and/or dangerous maniacs) you’ve got, not the ones you want.

      Nah, can’t go to a revolution with people who plan to shoot you in the back at first chance.

      Too many times anarchists get slaughtered before the war is even won. It’s a lesson learnt in blood.

        TBF, anarchy is the ideology that claims people being shot on their back after the revolution is a problem to be ignored with one’s entire strength. It’s no wonder that this exact problem always happens to them.

        You’re right! Thank you.

        See how that works? In my wildest dreams I get thrown under the bus by the wrong kind of leftist. Are you kidding me? I’ll roll those dice all day and still be more worried about the actual shit happening.

        There is currently no revolution, and we know arguing doesn’t hardly change anybody’s mind. Especially not authoritarians’ minds, right? You can’t convince me to do anything but laugh at tankies and, god forbid, patronise them.

        So in summary you’re right and thanks. Great stuff. Sarcasm, but also solidarity. Take it or kill me.
