    One of the things I’ve realized over the years is that it’s so hard to talk to people about capitalism and AmeriKKKan imperialism in particular because the reality is so much more evil than the rest of humanity is able to come up with, and the actual words (e.g. capitalism) are taboo.

    Like if demons were real, the AmeriKKKan capitalist class would be worse.

    And IMO, it’s usually a safe choice to sacrifice some precision for agitprop.

    Terrific. And since you implied the existence of the other option: if it was an anti-Maduro image, why would it be in poor taste?

    Let’s go with pro-Maduro first. Why would this image be in bad taste if it is a pro-Maduro image?

    Yeah and if you paid attention, anarchists are not fellating Maduro specifically, but are taking a principled stance against AmeriKKKan imperialism, specifically his kidnapping.

    Excellent.

    So, where in the image are anarchists defending Maduro specifically? Yeah I’m no fucking fan of Maduro but there’s a wildly more consequential problem on Venezuelan hands, namely AmeriKKKan imperialism.

    You are making me waste bandwidth every time you make me explicitly bring this up, bandwidth which is better spent at speaking out against the US and their lies. It should be obvious that any support for Maduro from anarchists is extremely critical.

    Actually, where on earth is anyone defending Maduro specifically? Even amongst state socialists, he’s not a popular guy!

    And also come the fuck on with this ‘the Monroe Doctrine isn’t colonialism’ silliness. It’s not European colonialism; it’s AmeriKKKan colonialism. Same shit, different managers.
