What kind of communist are you?
 

I feel most drawn to the independant streak of anarcho communism.

Communism is a failed system just like the hippies.

anarcho communist?

what the fuck are you talking about?
please explain that to me.

ok, I typed out a definition like three times, but I'll just go with wikipedia

Anarchist communism is a form of anarchism that advocates the abolition of the State and capitalism in favor of a horizontal network of voluntary associations through which everyone will be free to satisfy his or her needs.
Anarchist communism is also known as anarcho-communism, communist anarchism, or, sometimes, libertarian communism. However, while all anarchist communists are libertarian communists, some libertarian communists, such as council communists, are not anarchists. What distinguishes anarchist communism from other variants of libertarian communism is the former's opposition to all forms of political power, hierarchy and domination.

What the fuck does that mean, it is like saying I am a hipster or some bullshit like that.

ok

i´m more of an anarcho-syndicalist

I said McCarthy type, cause I think you are the goverment, I am just paranoid.

yeah, me too, but this is a thread about communism.

you read any noam chomsky?

NO I don't think Communism works, it is a failed system if you really think about it.

I'm on the pavement

nope
I read Bakunin and Kropotkin at the moment
after this i´m going to read some of Emma Goldmann´s work

thinking about the goverment.

ok cool. what kind of communist are you?

I said More of a McCarthy type.

oh yeah

Yeah, down with the communist trying to destroy our way of life.

Bakunin made some scarily accurate predictions when you apply them to the Bolshevik revolution.

I cant find any of his books though, I've only read what I've found on the internet

Static Harmony, McCarthy was a cunt, you shouldn't have picked him.

I know he was a cunt, and a idiot, but I disagree with communism.And since there were no other options I chose him.

Giving Leninism and Marxism as two different options is enough to throw you into a cold cell with no food or water till you implore but then you look at an option like anarchic communism and think to yourself:'Perhaps i should throw away the key and forget he's locked in there'.

I wish people would just stop worrying about systems of goverment and live freely.

not true. Lenin altered Marxism quite a bit. The idea of a vanguard party, NEP, etc.


Thats why I'm an anarchist

I always thought them the same Lenin and Marx

I'm no fucking type of communist.
It's been enough for me to live 10 years under communist regime.
I just love these Che-loving threads.

Oh really?You're sure not talking about taking marxism to its logical,practical conclusions?What's eurocommunism for crying out loud?

nah, Lenin had to adapt Marxist principles because they were in Russia and not some highly industrialized country that Marx called for.

Anarchism is also a failed system, it just won't work when you have no rules.

edit*** I know I contradicted myself with the last post, but you also need rules to live better.

This isn't a particularly che loving thread man. i'm not some idiot authoritarian

no big deal then

Anarchist Communism

Council Communism

Eurocommunism

Marxism

Leninism

Maoism

Stalinism

Titoism

Trotskyism

McCarthyism

and how about one more for good luck?

Christian Communism

Firstly, anarchism requires rules. Most people think it means some kind of chaos, but thats not true, it just calls for the deconstruction of power and institutions.

Secondly, it's not all that failed. The only time there has been anything close to an anarchist state was in Spain just before the civil war, around Barcelona I think. Orwell visited the communities and described a free, well functioning society. The Americans, British and Germans then destroyed them.

You know why communism doesn't work it is because, they won't do trade unless it is with themselves. This brings us back to tribalism and that stuff. It moves us backwards instead of foward.

That's enough to prove that all the dogmatic connotations associated with marxism are the very same rubbish that they are never said to be.And Lenin WAS a marxist!

But what kind of institutions do you put up, when someone gets out of line? you know murder's or rapes whatever.

Yeah, except there were differences because Marx was purely theoretical and Lenin had to carry it out. Obviously there is a lot of bullshit in Marx and he had to change some things and pretty much turned Russia into a dictatorship, there in lies the difference.

I am neither Marxist or Leninist or anything like that, because I think that they are just toally flawed as an ideologie(s).

well, institutions would exist such as police and the army in my mind, except there wouldn't be any single institution with large amounts of power to weild them as they wish. Descisions would lie with the public, not parties or leaders. Like, coordination would be carried out a group of people elected by the people.

Look, you have to realise that this is really not something I believe will happen for a very very long time, so I believe you have to look towards slow political reform, not some stupid ass revolution.

All that you just said now sounds like democracy, people vote for who could represent them and do the job of the people. I do see that now there is hardly any of this but yes. I think you just gave reasons for democracy.

Yeah, and I don't think that there is any country in the world that has actual democracy, and that actually gives a fuck about the people

its all very nice and all, but it aint gonna happen.
it doesnt work.
there are always greedy trecharous bastards that will take power and put an end to your fairytale.
those with no morals will always outsneak you.
forget it and have as much fun in your short time in capitalism as you can.

I could never be any kind of communist. Or any kind of socialist, for that matter.
