Believe it or not, but hexbear has a variety of leftist ideologies, including those friendly to the work of Rosa Luxemburg and Emma Goldman

What’s annoying is that we probably would be a whole lot closer to actual communism and anarchism if the bolsheviks never took power and destroy all the communism that was happening during the Russian revolution.

Yup, and for a deep dive into the history of how this happened in both the USSR and Maoist China, I’d recommend Anark’s series The State is Counterrevolutionary.

MLs: “The only way to socialism is through violent, top-down revolution.”

Syndicalists, getting every W known to man: “Are we a joke to you??”

What on earth is a top-down revolution? Wouldn’t that just be a coup?

The idea is to reverse the pyramid of power, so that the working class, which is usually at the bottom, becomes the top and the ruling class gets at the bottom. That way it would break any hierarchies

Rosa Luxemburg was based as hell. And that’s coming from an anarchist.
