The reason it felt like bad faith was because he didn't really adress the anarchist arguments and kept switching between talking to anarchists and talking to liberals so you couldn't really tell what he was arguing about. He also acts like no libertarian socialist revolutions have happened(theyhave)

Just wondering did you watch Anarks response video to Second Thought? (Its anarks most popular video on YouTube you can find it easily)
Tommy Sanders (@tommysanders.bsky.social) reply parent
If you go to Anarks youtube channel and go under "Playlists" his "liberation in action" series has them both
Tommy Sanders (@tommysanders.bsky.social) reply parent
He's called for anarchist strategy more than chomsky has lmao

I agree with land back reparations and open borders. By libertarian socialism I mean in line with things like anarchism and democratic confederalism
Tommy Sanders (@tommysanders.bsky.social) reply parent
He says that revolution is naturally authoritarian therefore anarchists bad. I would say you can carry out a somewhat violent revolution and still create a libertarian socialist society after.

Yeah I know about that too. Emma Goldman and her comrades were also heavily suppressed by the police and she was eventually deported for opposing the draft.

I think the US passed an anti anarchist act back in the 1900s (I consider us communists as well) so it's not surprising to me at all

He supported libertarian communism but was very anti ML/MLM. So I guess it depends on what you mean by "anti communist". If you read Homage to Catalonia you can see why he would hate the Bolsheviks because they turned on the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War and shot at them youtu.be/SH2pFTx_8VE

Btw I don't think it's really harmful to think dems are the lesser of two evils as long as we accept that voting won't get us anywhere close to where we need to be.

Not only is mainstream media owned by the capitalist class, but so is social media. We need worker run social media algorithms as well as news media. Just 6 corporations control over 90% of the flow of information.

Im far from an ML but the ussr admittedly had a far better system than neo-liberalism. I think at some point they had like 30% economic growth per year while the fall of the ussr pushed them back to the third world

You should note that direct action could also be starting mutual aid/community gardens or worker co-ops etc. I don't want to critique this post too much but we shouldn't make people think individual acts are all we mean by direct action
