Glad to meet another Anarchist tho.

Likewise!

Unless you're an ancap, in which case no hard feelings but ancaps aren't anarchists :P   Just have to throw that out there, because that's what most other self-described anarchists on the internet are.
Likewise˛!

Do you identify with any of the established schools of thought?

From what I've read, anarcho-syndicalist is probably closest to describing me, and I admit I have not read nearly as much detailed theory and history as most anarchists seem to.

My core belief is that any system of property (as opposed to personal possession) will inevitably progress towards the worst features of state communism/capitalism (which are basically the same, imo).

My prescriptive beliefs are vague, but hinge on the idea that today's communications technologies have vastly expanded what could be achieved by consensus decision making/direct democracy processes and more fluid, ephemeral styles of organization/concepts of community.  But our culture is so deeply mired in propaganda and baggage that we're not at a place where this can be explored further than individual daydreamings.

What's the political term where media companies pick a random person to bathe in criticism or praise until that person is the inevitable winner of the election?

Goes by Vaush on Youtube. He's very aggressive and unscripted. Noncompete, Shaun, and Three Arrows are both great Leftist youtubers as well.

SovietWomble is my preferred communist content creator.

There's not much content to go around, but we appreciate and share what little there is.

Yeah, I know NonCompete.  He's alright.  I got onto the EarthStrike discords through one of his streams.

Thanks for the others.

Is my trial still going on? I missed it because I was being exploited by capitalist dogs, who will get what they deserve on their day of reckoning.

I like to time how long it takes a right-wing Cuban-American to admit their grampa owned slaves and didn't even stop being rich when he left the country.

So Trump designated Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. This comes after reports they'd do so that surfaced in the last month. Note that they are part of Iran's government!
Wait a tick, isn't that one of the groups trump laundered money for?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

I just lost a little respect for Bay12 as we made fun of an oppressed Venezuelan for realistically assessing his phone charging situation.

Even sarcastically, that was a bit much for me.

I'm sure it was all in fun, like mermaid harvesting.  But a Big Bang Theory reference?  For shame.
