No Hexbear isn't brigading you I'm clicking on the main page of the website and replying to whatever I see. I don't even know what website I'm on, I have ADHD, I aint got the kind of focus. Anyway I'm going to go brigade a thread about video games with my pro-FFXIV propaganda.

libertarian* progressive brand of communism

Let me quote another bit of you:

I think Biden would have made for a wonderful president a decade ago. The problem is that our issues are so extreme that such a cordial, non aggressive person is not a good fit

The wrong man for a bad time.

Between the exponential collapse of capitalism under its perpetual growth model, to the climate crisis, to a rise in global authoritarianism, what we needed was someone who can rock the boat and right the ship.

This means that POA would've rather had Biden as president than Obamas second term (2013 etc.) - if you are a bit mean to how to interpret it. I would argue that Biden would've been a bad US president even 30 years ago, lets say 1993.

Sadly I think you are misinterpreting that fact that politics (especially within a capitalist system) is an expression of economics.

A just society wouldn’t allow them to intermingle.

Which contradicts Marx. There is a reason he wrote the critique of the political economy.

Though that is of course a minor thing and creating different concepts is something that communists ought to do, some phrases coined by that and concepts work better than others though. I would argue that while politics is a kind of expression of economics or modes of productions, material and social relations, super structure and alike, it would be wrong to think that it is just a product that itself is a thing completely separated.

*: The libertarian term is what made people joke about it, since there is quite a number of people who label themselves libertarian communists or anarchists and not few of them are politically incoherent and have bad takes like abolishing age of consent or alike, you certainly are not an "Anarcho" Capitalist and are also not against the abolishing of age of consent, or are you?

Another bit you posted in 196 at blahaj, a now transphobe community:

Hello actual communist here. Commies rock, tankies sucks. We really don’t need or want authoritarian behavior in communist communities.

Which said in squats and communist meetings of trusted comrades have very different emphasis than posted in a reactionary hub. Some would even label you anti communist for it. If you are a communist I would expect you to write more communist stuff in two month honestly.

Finally it is nice that you label yourself a communist, for me communists aren't people that label themselves as such, but:

Communism is the real movement that abolishes the state of things

So are you part of the real movement? How so? What collective actions and social relations do you forge?
