Doing this while being in the airforce is so weird.
I will still support and go to bat for him/her but come the fuck on.
His comments on reddit seem pretty based otherwise. One of his comments wrt ideology:
I think if he had a few more years he would have probably cooled off on the ML hate, even if he wouldn't have become an ML himself. We all figure these things out at our own paces.
I just don't particularly understand how you can be part of the strictest hierarchical structure that exists, understand how efficient it is and what we are fighting, and then somehow lambast MLs for wanting a strict hierarchical structure for the revolutionary party because we understand what we're fighting against.
It's just so contradictory.
This assumes they see it as efficient. They hated it. They chafed under it.
Maybe you can think "this isn't efficient" but anyone who thinks about it for a few minutes can see how it's more efficient than nobody taking or giving any orders at all.
Doesn't have to be efficient, just has to be more efficient than the alternatives.
If someone can come up with something more efficient I will immediately switch to it.
Maybe efficiency isn't everything. Maybe you could try to see how, having grown up under one hierarchical boot, and then working inside of another, they could feel that hierarchy will always be oppressive and therefore should be struggled against.
Efficiency is everything in a zero-sum war between capitalism and revolutionaries.
You either do shit better than them or you lose. It's really as simple as that. The revolutionary forces need to become strong enough to overcome the defence forces of capitalism.
There are two ways to this:
Or most likely: A combination of the above.
You can try and be completely disorganised and just hope that the state collapses so fucking hard that it can't even fight a leaderless revolution with no hierarchy. But seriously consider that that isn't going to be allowed to happen by foreign capitalists who WILL intervene when the moment of collapse occurs if things get that bad. More likely things wouldn't ever get that bad too, which is why you need the vanguard to begin with, to push things truly over the edge, to place a thumb on the scales.
I think the work you are looking for is effective. You really don’t understand military structure if you think they will be more efficient than your cells.
Efficiency is everything because if your system is less efficient you will be destroyed by the more efficient one
So the Soviet Union was less efficient than the US, got it.
The soviet union was less efficient in that it allowed compradors to take power and end it. It was a less efficient proletarian-dictatorship than the rival bourgeoise-dictatorship. Its principle mistake were structural mistakes allowing the liberals into power.
Yeah having all of their cities and a quarter of their population destroyed will do that.
Under Stalin and Lenin it was extremely efficient, growing and developing the economy at extreme rates unseen in human history up that point until the German invasion of WW2. The destruction of WW2 and the Liberal-revisionist take-over of the post-war government after Stalin's death led to liberalization and stagnation right at the time where they needed to recover the most via command planned economy. Kruschev's social imperialism and revisionism led to the Sino-Soviet split.
There was a failure there, a failure in purging out the social-imperialists and revisionists like Krushchev and his ilk.
Regardless it’s very evident it would smear every anarcho-commune on earth in a millisecond if it felt like it. You cannot compete with organized imperialism with rifles and a can do attitude.
What…
I mean he clearly regretted joining and felt guilty about being part of that structure, considering some of his last words were "I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide"
Yeah, I only became ML after actually doing real shit; I don't think he had the chance.
The vanguard party would be replacing the currently ruling bourgeois parties. It is a civil authority, but unlike the current system, it would represent the population.
There's no contradiction. The people are at the very top of the hierarchy, the people except the capitalists and oligarchs that is
The US military is subservient to civilian authority? What.
I mean they do serve the interests of oligarchy which are civilians, so technically correct.
Hey it’s really you who wanted this genocide don’tcha know?
The president famously never has any personal connections with the military
Such a laughably simple take it doesn't warrant a response.
Go back to sh.itjust.works.
this dude was maybe a year or two off from being an ML. Once you're at this stage of opinion, things tend to snowball. Shoulda popped onto his stream and paid him in Twitch currency to read Blackshirts and Reds
Americans really just can’t help themselves but be anti-communist. It’s so deep in their bones
