Alternatively, add two spaces at the end of the line, if you just want a new line and don't want a paragraph

What movements? As an outsider watching the US, are there any notable workers' movements over there at the moment?

fuck you (respectfully)

Ah, you're both going through my history now and exposing yourself as a shill for the modern Tsar. If you think Russian imperialism furthers the left, we can end it right here and you'll end up on the blocklist. Have a good life!

Also, what do you think a germanist is? lol

Direct action is not convenient. Building on-the-ground worker solidarity is not convenient. Building and maintaining syndicates to aid and support both those alienated- and those discarded by capital is not convenient.

But I'm sure a keyboard warrior like you is much more knowledgeable and involved in the class war than little naive me. Please, enlighten me. What do you suggest we do to abolish capital?

That's funny, how many CEOs have you shot so far?

reading comprehension of a Tumblr user, wtf? I'm literally an anarchist

Also don't call me bro, please

You sure know a lot about my political beliefs, huh? Check my other comment before you jump to conclusions. I don't disagree with violence as a tactic (but I still don't like it, and try to avoid it), but assassinations are only useful in so far as they are used to build a movement. The vindication you feel by seeing someone horrible killed will not change the system, collective action will. And that takes actual organizing, not posting Luigi memes online.

lol, lmao even

Who is "you guys"? I'm not saying the revolution was (or will be, in the future) bloodless. But to have a revolution, you need to organize, before you go out and shoot someone in the streets. To think that simply assassinating some of the worst offenders will bring about systemic change is naive, imo.

There is an argument to be made that in the age of social media Propaganda of the Deed could make a successful comeback as a tool to build collective action (and some anarchists are making that argument), but it's this collective action we need, not lone wolves.

That's not the point I'm trying to make. As one of the 'bloodthirsty subfucks' I'm well aware that the war likely would have started either way, all the imperial powers in Europe were eager to try out their new weaponry. But the commenter above claims that assassinations can solve structural problems. Which I don't think is true.

That was an execution after the revolution had already been fought. A more apt comparison would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Archduke_Franz_Ferdinand or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Alexander_II_of_Russia

You cease, we fire

You raise good points. They deserve it too

Cons

• they'll get hired by Microsoft instead

Flip a coin every time you read an article whether you get quick and easy significant issues

This is good, a peace-focused aircraft carrier can do a lot for disaster relief. Just make it nuclear with onboard large-scale desalination plants, oh my

Usually hardware support

Relativistic mass is not helpful to our everyday understanding of mass, it's more helpful to discuss momentum, like the other commenter pointed out

I'm not sure any US strategist is willing to face the fallout of open war involving all of Europe. But then again, when has Trump ever cared about his advisors

We are truly living in interesting times
