to a significant extent, it's the euphemism treadmill, but the usual argument i have seen is that homeless implies an inherent/permanent state of being while unhoused implies a more temporary one.

monads.online and octodon.social are also not precisely ML, but they are broadly compatible

The bourgeois was anarchic before his class seized political power and imposed on society the ideal State regime suitable to safeguard the capitalist mode of production

definitely going to use this in future convos

leaving aside for a moment whether the state is actually a specific form of political organization, i don't know where you are that you are finding anarchists that are specifically and only against that. every single one i have talked to in my years of left leaning organizing have been against the state as a particularly bad example of some overarching principle, such as authority or hierarchy.

anarchism is a committed opposition to a specific form of political organization

i wonder which 10 years they think that russia had a democracy. like, whatever 10 year period they think is an utter failure of historical analysis. absolutely deranged.

yeah, i have heard some things from yugopnik in particular that sound pretty ultra, which was disappointing. jt and hakim seem generally better on that, tho, or at least they focus more on the failings of the west than the perceived inadequacies of aes countries.

there's not a whole lot separating most anti-civ anarchists from ecofascists besides better rhetorical slight of hand.
