This looks really good, thanks!

Though I am looking forward to throwing it in a pit of fire when we have socialism and interviewing is no longer a full time job

We have free coffee but the shitty French kind from a machine, still better than nothing though I guess

If the lever controls nothing, by which you probably mean elections in which case I totally agree, then doesn't that also mean that the material effects of pulling it don't exist?

This isn't a democracy and capitalists will still do what capital needs after the election. If that is genocide, then genocide it is. Real change cannot happen from within capitalist institutions, it happens by workers organizing.

Even if elections did matter, what exactly have the Democrats done to prove that they aren't willing to do just as much as their counterparts? The "debates" were literally a contest of who is more willing to spend more on the war machine, instead of things like public health and housing, things that the working class really need and care about.

This is an important point and the most genuine argument topic between anarchists and communists imo.

The thing to understand here is that a worker state was never really included in the Marxist definition of communism. Marx, Engels, Lenin, all very clearly oppose the existence of the state and believe that the final liberation of humanity will require its long term dissolution. Socialism, as the premature stage of communism, requires a state as a means of establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.

Being against the state is not incompatible with being a communist, on the contrary it is necessary for socialism to progress and evolve. But it is purely utopian to believe that you can have socialism without a worker state, when classes are still an existing thing. Just look at the past century to see the relentless effort of the bourgeoisie to regain control. Do you really think you have a chance against that without a means of their oppression?

That, I believe, is the major ideological difference we have with anarchists, the rest is purely a result of anticommunist propaganda.

Is the "holier than thou attitude" refusing to be Hitler lite?

About time they stopped pretending to care now that the election has gone to shit, just be honest and say that you'd happily vote fascists in to keep your treats

There's this leftist influencer called dantethehater who usually has some pretty good takes and some nice content on China.

Lately he was calling for everyone to vote Kamala by the logic that organizing will be easier under the Dems. Critically endorsing a neoliberal government that funds genocide is already cringe enough but at least it had a reasoning behind it.

Now he is making posts referencing the fact that the Greens could not have possibly "stolen" the election based on their numbers, and being sarcastic about it saying that everyone who voted them is "loudly irrelevant". That's mega LIB shit, he isn't even trying to blame this on the Dems yet.

I wish I could just work every day to meet quotas to achieve a five year plan and complain about how boring it is with my coworkers while hanging out in a public third space after our 5 hour full time shifts, before going home to our brutalist social housing block and calling it a day

I'm going to be involved in making a union website, probably just a simple page with some hopefully good looking design. What would be the ideal tools for the job, and any good looking union sites that I can take inspiration from?
