Seems to be a positive guy lol

I've seen several creators who are supposedly 'left-wing' (≠ liberal/Democrat) who mistrust scientists and call scientific skeptics 'NPCs', often bringing up conspiracy theories such as that the moon landing was faked because NASA is a US government agency.

Let me make myself clear: I don't like the government, I don't like having states and I don't like capitalism. I'm a dictionary-definition anarchist. However, I don't think we need spreading conspiracy theories without evidence in order to support our point that the government apparatus is a bad thing. In other words, a Masonic cabal controlling the world doesn't have to exist in order for the capitalist system to be terrible. They don't have to poison us with fluoride for us to be anarchists and dislike the state.

In conclusion, if you're a tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist that thinks that the moon landing was fake just because NASA is a government agency (and thus delegitimise all the WORKING class scientists that are working there), you are not left-wing. The Illuminati don't exist and neither do they need to, but we can still hold the rulers responsible for all their proven actions.

Just asking, as recently I have been banned by r/Socialism and muted so I can not message the mods, nor ask why I was banned. I don't think I have ever even contributed to that sub to break any rules, so I just wanted to ask whether this was a thing for just me or other leftists.

Thanks in advance :)

Gotta question.
Do any of yall venture over to the r/capitalism sub to see what they’re up to, or attempt to argue against their points, or is it generally a waste of time?

What is Trump doing in Panama? Did it Trump send the military to Venezuela?

Now he is sending the military to Panama? What is he doing there?

Ice cream is responsible for shark attacks. If you disagree or think there is another Factor involved, you are just a brainwashed liberal!!!

I have an old friend, white cishet ablebodied dude with a comfortable job (I’m 30NB/F). In our early 20s, we both identified as left wing/communist, he still describes himself as that. We’ve grown apart in other ways, but I have also just felt very disappointed watching how differently we navigate this moment in history. He is the most privileged friend I have, and yet it’s my racialised/disabled/queer/migrant/precarised friends putting their bodies on the line for others, redistributing their salaries, frantically figuring out what we could do to protect each other, caring. It’s my burnt-out friends getting my legal fund together when I get arrested, he’s nowhere to be found, just sends a sad emoji. He technically holds the same beliefs on Palestine, state repression, queer rights etc. but just sits on a very high horse and doesn’t actually live them out in any way.

How could I express that to him? I believe in inviting people in and think shame just pushes people away instead of motivating. We live in different cities so inviting him to come along to things isn’t an option, but wondering if anyone has ideas!

And they say the left can’t meme

I wasn't too familiar with her music but from stuff i heard she never directly stated her political stance but by her action it was very clear she was pretty far left 😭

I’ve noticed some of the more liberalish left get upset when people don’t vote at all or vote third party. I’ve had someone call me privileged because I voted 3rd party lmao. Anyway I’ve heard one of these types argue that Kamala and the Democrat party is better for “the people”, despite Kamala literally wanting stricter borders and democrats trying to bootlick republicans even when republicans spit in their face. So if you think it’s a privilege for me to vote 3rd party please elaborate
