My impression of Anarchists is one who is unable to separate the use of power (authority) from the misuse of it under Capitalism to oppress and exploit the masses as the result of trauma from experiencing this oppression (including indirectly by seeing it used on others while having empathy) and so making it psychologically difficult to confront this error in understanding the nature of power and it's necessity to suppress the Capitalists once the Revolution succeeds so that a counter revolution doesn't just take it all away again. That, and also often still having a lot of views of past and current Socialist countries that is in line with CIA/MI6/MOSSAD misinformation about them.
Do you take away your own upvote?
The "upvote on own post by default" makes me feel awkward, maybe I'm just weird.
Edit: Ok, I'm going to stop being silly about this and leave my posts at default. Also for some reason I can only load your comment via the alerts/notification thingy in Lemmy.ml
Huh, weird about the comment thing. But yeah this is the third time I've seen you posting good stuff
