minus-squaremasquenox@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoI have a few. Tankies aren’t left-wing. The second-biggest mistake the left ever committed was to leave religion to be fully co-opted by the right. The anarchist critique of hierarchy is the most important critique the left has. Also, anarchism, as an “ideology,” isn’t worth shit. Power cannot be destroyed - it can merely be re-distributed. We will probably never be able to get rid of currencies. When it comes to socialism, close enough is good enough - but the state owning everything isn’t close at all.
