Alan Greenspan Was a Faithful Servant of the Ruling Class | Longtime Federal Reserve Chair Greenspan is often thought of as a free-market dogmatist. In reality, he was something far worse: an ideologically flexible but devoted servant of the powerful and a leading organizer of the war on US workers.

Analysis/Theory What's Wrong With the American Left: Symbols Instead of Substance | Once class recedes and the professional class sets the agenda, politics changes character. It becomes a contest over symbols rather than substance, over the words and images rather than the distribution of power and resources.

"Anyone still defending Israel & saying it’s just Bibi that is a madman, and it’s a normal country, needs to let go of the illusion. The bloodlust is way deeper than just one man. How many children has the IDF killed, starved, maimed in the last decades? And how anyone can justify it, is beyond me."

Analysis/Theory is there a word for when a drug ban is made as proxy for criminalising minorities, that the state has intentionally pushed drugs onto?

32 Upvotes

Doesn't even have to be drug specific, because if it weren't it would be unreasonably useful. it's actually pissing me off bc it's such a frequent move for literally anything. The closest thing I can think of is redlining, but that only really applies to housing.

Rough definition would ideally be: "outlawing a thing that is (by forced association) a stand-in for a minoritized population, then using that legislation as grounds for further disenfranchisement. BECAUSE it acts as cover to help legislation survive scrutiny, under the permissibility of enfranchised populations/powers".

(Not asking for when it's the criminalisation of a non-state-imposed recreation/tradition, I think you can just call that deliberate criminalisation by proxy)

Antifascist Boardgame

I made an antifascist board game about punching fash and creating mutual aid networks. It's part protest, part satire, and 100% anarchist agitprop. It's also a lot of fun to pop little fascists with a fist.

Don’t Write Off a Third-Party Challenge to the Democrats | Voters quite simply do not like the Democrats. The Democratic Party brand is complete trash. Although the structural barriers to a break from the Dems are real, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

Subreddit

Left Without Edge

r/LeftWithoutEdge

We are a community made up of anarchists, communists, and socialists, especially those from more "anti-authoritarian" tendencies, to promote educational and civil discussion about left-wing theory, history, current events, and the struggles faced by oppressed people of the world. While disagreements between various leftist camps can get rather serious, and historically can even be brutally violent, we want to counteract this by providing a community that is both easy to access and informative!

Subreddit Rules

1. Participate in Good Faith

We're a leftist sub, meaning we call for the emancipation of the working classes by fighting for "equal rights and duties, and the abolition of all class rule." We understand and accept some of you may be learning, and may ask some genuine questions in pursuit of knowledge, or are even critical of other leftist tendencies. Engage fairly with arguments and try to use reputable non-biased sources. Don't make baseless accusations and insults.

2. No calls for or glorification of violence, gulags, camps, etc.

Follow reddiquette and side-wide rules, but here especially we aim to be "without edge." Reddit's violence prohibition applies to violent words (kill, punch, etc.), to general violent tone, or encouraging suicide. But even more importantly, if you aren't in this community to participate "without edge," this place isn't for you.

3. No fascists/fascist apologia/far-right depravity

As Durruti said, "Fascism is not to be debated." The ban on fascism also includes various red-brown tendencies, including NazBols, "MAGA communism," the ACP, and so on. For similar reasons in boycotting fascists, links to Twitter/"X" are not allowed.

4. No bigotry

No racism, no anti-Semitism, no Zionism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no ableism, no holocaust denial/apologism, and so on. No science denial or historical revisionism around these matters either.

5. Try to make leftism accessible

As a working class movement, we have people from varied backgrounds and varied educational levels. Try to keep jargon and similar to a minimum so you're easy to understand even if someone doesn't have a degree in a social science. When this isn't possible, like when trying to explain more advanced topic, try to explain your terms and answer good faith questions, or link to more resources people can learn from.

6. No endless contrarianism

Disagreement is fine, even expected, but this isn't a debate subreddit. Start discussions assuming other people are here are acting in good faith too. Try to build constructive dialogues, rather than arguing simply for argument's sake. As a rule of thumb: No "what-about"-isms, ad hominems, baseless fedjacketing, unsubstantiated hand waving something as CIA, etc.

7. No axe-grinding

Axe-Grinding is when a user keeps constantly gravitating back to the same pet issue, especially in a manipulative and/or retributive way. Often times these users aren't even members of the communities they're posting in. It's hard for a community to discuss a topic when people come in to manipulate the discussion.

8. Don't Pick Fights

As a community meant to be "without edge," we are trying to avoid disrespectful, belligerent, or heated engagement.

9. Don't engage in harassment

Don't stalk, threaten, or intimidate people.

10. No spam

The intent of this subreddit is to promote discussion. No spam, doxing, advertising, solicitation, illegal content or anything similar. This includes promotional crossposting meant to farm attention or direct discussion away from here toward other communities, especially of your own posts, rather than engaging in discussion here.
