Look there. My family is from the east of Belgium, the first one to be hit by the germans during both ww1 and ww2. WW1 broke out because the germans are fuckign bloodthirthy subfucks and found an excuse to massacre people. It had nothing to do with Frank Ferdinand dying on the other side of europe. They were just itching for it.
That’s not the point I’m trying to make. As one of the ‘bloodthirsty subfucks’ I’m well aware that the war likely would have started either way, all the imperial powers in Europe were eager to try out their new weaponry. But the commenter above claims that assassinations can solve structural problems. Which I don’t think is true.
You don’t think it’s true because you think they deserve to keep their head. Which makes you complicit to the bad things they do since it’s because of you they are still alive
You sure know a lot about my political beliefs, huh? Check my other comment before you jump to conclusions. I don’t disagree with violence as a tactic (but I still don’t like it, and try to avoid it), but assassinations are only useful in so far as they are used to build a movement. The vindication you feel by seeing someone horrible killed will not change the system, collective action will. And that takes actual organizing, not posting Luigi memes online.
Ah, you’re both going through my history now and exposing yourself as a shill for the modern Tsar. If you think Russian imperialism furthers the left, we can end it right here and you’ll end up on the blocklist. Have a good life!
Who is “you guys”? I’m not saying the revolution was (or will be, in the future) bloodless. But to have a revolution, you need to organize, before you go out and shoot someone in the streets. To think that simply assassinating some of the worst offenders will bring about systemic change is naive, imo.
Direct action is not convenient. Building on-the-ground worker solidarity is not convenient. Building and maintaining syndicates to aid and support both those alienated- and those discarded by capital is not convenient.
But I’m sure a keyboard warrior like you is much more knowledgeable and involved in the class war than little naive me. Please, enlighten me. What do you suggest we do to abolish capital?
That was an execution after the revolution had already been fought. A more apt comparison would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Archduke_Franz_Ferdinand or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Alexander_II_of_Russia

You seems to be an ukraine simping germanist, so your “anarchism” is mostly about making nobel richer lmao

Also, what do you think a germanist is? lol
And you think no assassination happened during the revolution? Lmao
Beside that’s absolutely not true what the absolute shit. You guys are in love with straight up lying aren’t ya?

There is an argument to be made that in the age of social media Propaganda of the Deed could make a successful comeback as a tool to build collective action (and some anarchists are making that argument), but it’s this collective action we need, not lone wolves.
They are lone wolves because you don’t want to join them. It’s a classic prisoner dilemma and you’re the snitch
That’s funny, how many CEOs have you shot so far?
It’s a prisonner’s dilemma. I do it if you do it, but you coward won’t have my back.
The issue with people like you is that they are cowards with a submissive mindset. You would have sided with the kings lmao. Fucking tsarist simp
lol, lmao even
Come on bro just say you like the king.
reading comprehension of a Tumblr user, wtf? I’m literally an anarchist
Also don’t call me bro, please
A lot of people call themselves anarchists. It’s convenient, you can pretend to be against both sides of the class war.
Direct action is not convenient. Building on-the-ground worker solidarity is not convenient. Building and maintaining syndicates to aid and support both those alienated- and those discarded by capital is not convenient.

Okay, since you’re not a coward, when are you going to assassinate someone? Today? Tomorrow? What are you waiting for?
