The Lack of Political Discussion on This Site

so true, unfortunately i believe that even among self proclaimed anarchists there is a lack of interest in the world outside of their social circles and personal interests, just like the majority of society. because of the apathy (which i can fall victim to but try not to) and lack of interests in politics and social issues i feel the only people that care enough to use their voice and power for change are the ones supporting the system and taking away human rights. as far as no discussions on this site that is a good question. i unfortunately feel this is because more "punks" or anarchists are more interested in the sound of the music and the look of the scene than what the artist is saying or what the message is. i find it hard to find people who listen and look into lyrical content. thanks for the heads up on that news site ill look into it.

 

As Austerity has killed thousands in the UK & Social Cleansing is an excepted policy here. I find it difficult to be anything but fuken angry.. Class War AGAINST the Poor has never been so prevalent in my lifetime.. This to me is TRUE FASCISM...

 

It all starts at the queue to the FOOD BANK....

 

I have no confidence that the establishment will budge they will have to be forced. They outgun us. We outnumber them. It's gonna be bad. But we will never lose.

 

Liberalism is the enabler of white supremacy!? Ahh, explain please. aint ashamed

 

....And when the fascists come to power, don't tell me you aint been warned......

I'll keep it short and sweet.

1- Liberals notions of free speech give space for the grubs to air their opinions and propaganda, they cannot grasp that hate speech ain't free speech

2- Liberal notions of balance give them oxygen to breathe in the so called marketplace of ideas

3- Liberal media give them airtime and spaces within which to disseminate their repulsive ideas to a wider audience.

4= Liberals always side with capitalism, anti-fascism is a phenomena of the left which is itself to some degree or other anti-capitalist.

5- White supremacist, anti immigrant and anti asylum seeker ideology has penetrated the more conservative side of liberalism. This is under the guise of national security which the left wing of liberalism is also complicit in.

I am talking of liberalism in the wider sense of Locke, Mill, and Rawls thus both the Republicans and Democrats are liberals. If you are using liberal to mean solely democrat, then I think you are making a grave mistake. Hence what appears to be your misunderstanding. Don't forget that Clinton brought in the three strikes thing that has disproportionately impacted Afro-American and Latinx people, and Obama happily continued drone attacks on brown people across the globe. Both of which heartened white supremacists no doubt.

Thats my understanding of the issue. Hope it helps.

 

Very good, Thank you! I do get everything you stated, and essentially always have. I'm just
not use to the broad stroke application of the word liberalism. With the current news cycle the
way it is, political labels are flying in our faces fast and furious. I would suggest finding creative
ways to convey our views, that would be less likely to be misunderstood. Thanks again!

you're welcome. Glad it helped.

 

if you want news, the main anarchist hub for usa and canada is It's Going Down - Anarchist News and Counter-Information,

 

We are good brother! I needed some additional enlightenment, on what constituted being a
liberal, and liberalism. If we talk about fascists, and fascism, that is pretty much universally
understood. I think liberal / liberalism is murkier, less clearly defined, and for me not being
as all inclusive in my thinking as I should have been, as well as the fine points you, and our
brother from Australia (1xAntifa) made. Thank you again! aint ashamed

 

I love Charlie Harper and the U.K. Subs, too. Check out the video - Punk Can Take It!
It has some corny skits and narration, but the live footage of the band performing is
PHENOMENAL ! aint ashamed

 

I own the DVD, but yes, it's a great film. Quite funny, and the early videos of The U.K. Subs in concert are not to be missed. I've met Charlie Harper on more than one occasion, and he is one of the nicest, friendliest, down to earth person you could ever hope to meet, and have a beer with.

 

Wow, how cool is that, having a frosty brew with the great Charlie Harper! Wish I could
have joined you boys! Love the song_Sensitive Boys_ by The Subs. aint ashamed
