#if your leftism isn’t coming from a place of wanting a decreased amount of suffering

[magnusthepuppet]

if you engage in infighting, you are useless as a leftist.

if you tell people to k*ll themselves, you are useless as a leftist.

if you do not believe in somebody’s ability to change, you are useless as a leftist.

if you do not practice nuanced thinking, you are useless as a leftist.

if you are unable to have compassion for your fellow human, you are useless as a leftist.

#if your leftism isn’t coming from a place of wanting a decreased amount of suffering #then you are literally no different than every reactionary ever #if the only difference between us and the right is what we *say* we believe in #rather than our actions #then there’s no point in pretending there even is a difference #online leftism is painfully performative #and i fear that we’re going to get nowhere if this is the brand of politics we’re practicing #politics #leftism #socialism #communism #anarchism #libertarian socialism #anarcho socialism #anarcho communism #ancom
