Clarence Thomas’s Radical Vision of Race

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Anarchy is as far left as you can get. That's why I've understood the horseshoe theory. It doesn't make any sense. No one is going from anarchy and not recognizing or having a central government to harsh authoritarianism power trip government that privatizes everything

we're literally seeing horseshoe theory.

In real time.



Plus, its mostly non-black people who do it... for obvious reason

Never even heard of it, nor am I sure if that's recognized as a left wing political ideology

It originally was. Probably still somewhat center left tbh.

I'll pull up some articles when I have a moment later. I think it's an interesting discussion.

I hope that sarcasm (And it's going over my head) or you're making the statement that Anarchy and Fascism are indistinguishable............

Moreso that Stalinist/Maoist/North Korean Communism is indistinguishable from fascism, in my view.

Even if anarchy (read: anarcho-socialism) was the most extreme position on the left wing, it has an equal opposite on the right: anarcho-capitalism. The flavor of anarchy depends on what you don't like about government (libertarians/anarcho-capitalists hate the government's ability to arbitrate private property & impose taxes, socialist anarchists hate the government's ability to censor and restrict personal behavior).

Well the argument being made is that Thomas' black nationalism is strictly black masculinity.

You just described a whole subforum on this site.

How the fukk are Communism and Fascism indistinguishable? That doesn't even make sense. To even suggest such a thing is to have a complete misunderstanding of both political ideologies. I'm gonna need a more fleshed out explanation of this because to even suggest there was no difference between Hitler and Stalin is just insanely wrong. The only thing the two had in common were being harsh authoritarians and that's about where the comparisons stop. Also I've never been convinced we know anywhere near enough about North Korea to call them a communist state imo.



Communism doesn't equal authoritarianism. You're confusing type of government with the ideology under which the government functions. I think that's your big confusion point. Horseshoe theory is such an insanely ridiculous belief because it's wrong as fukk. Being a neoliberal is far closer to be fascist than to be a fukking communist . The Neoliberals were the ones who Hitler didn't murder in his take over of Gemany. He made sure to kill the socialists/communists first, the neoliberals believed as long as capital kept functioning they were fine with Hitler as dictator especially with all the privatization incentives he offered them. Big Business was more than happy to let Hitler take over. By your logic he should've done the opposite, which had he done, WW2 never happens.

anarcho-capitalism still involves a hierarchal structure because if you work for a company they essentially own you. You answer to someone pure anarchy has no such structure and relies on mutual understanding of the group to work together for a common goal. You're literally just replacing government with private business in anarcho capitalism it's not really an opposite because there is still some form of "government" and can it really be stateless if ownership of land gives you power and governance over said land? It has borders, it has laws, it has a hierarchal structure...... how is that not a state? I've never understood Libertarianism because it's just a completely insane ideology. It makes Fascism seem reasonable by comparison, it also isn't really recognized as an opposite of anarchy by anyone that studies political theory at least I've never seen such a statement made by anyone.

Not to mention horseshoe theory is literally right wing propaganda used to attempt to sperate modern day fascists from Hitler even though they 100% cosign his beliefs and actions. You fell for the bullshyt my guy. It also makes centrists(Who always for some strange reason preach for civility to protect the far right and status quo and happily work with them all the time across history) feel better about themselves.

Just think about how insanely defensive people get on here when I refer to the democrats as a right wing party(which they are and have been for like 50-60 years,)

It's a fairly blatant form of the argument to moderation fallacy. That believes that centrism is the only way forward which is of course a lie. Especially since the center in America is constantly shifting... for example there are people on this very board who think Biden is a moderate. Aka ur Overton Window moving

It's a lazy way to promote galaxy brained centrism which in America is just right wing ideology anyways
