For anyone who doesn’t know, Arcee is literally trans in the series cannon. She started off as a dude bot and then decided to reconfigure so she was a lady.

At first it was just their reasoning for why she was the only girl robot, but then became specifically queer affirming in later media.

:what-the-hell:

specifically femme byleth and edelgard. the romance works best as a sapphic one

I saw this pop up on the site and I finally logged back on. Edelgard art is like my special interest bat signal.

:sicko-fem:

No, that’s objectively correct. She’s a classical french revolutionary style liberal with proto-socialistic policies (universal education, abolishment of the class and crest systems, gender egalitarianism)

Left-communists do nothing. It really is that simple.

Bordiga refused to get involved in opposition to the fascist regime in Italy, and in fact speculated that it’d be better if the Axis won World War II. Bordiga supported both Mussolini and Hitler in his writing. He also either informed on actual communists or was extremely friendly with fascist police informants, inviting them over to dinner and becoming drinking buddies with them.

After the war ended Bordiga claimed that the USSR, US and UK would become fascist states, thus “proving” anti-fascism is stupid. Meanwhile the PCI, which played a leading role in the anti-fascist resistance, enjoyed massive popularity among Italian workers and farmers to the extent the CIA intervened to help prevent a Communist victory at the polls

I can’t think of a single left-com who actually did anything besides write, unless one talks about figures like Pannekoek or Pankhurst who were only relevant politically in the 1920s (and of these, Pankhurst later became a publicist for the feudal regime of Haile Selassie.)

There’s a LeftCom comic called “Great Moments in Leftism” whose creator argues that even basic struggles like protesting cuts to welfare are reactionary because what workers should be protesting for is communism. Left-comms are almost always leftist in name only and obnoxiously sectarian to the point their ideologies borderline depend on dismissing other tendencies.

One can disagree with the Workers World Party, or the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, or the Party for Socialism and Liberation, or even the RCPUSA and CPUSA, but at least they actually have some following among students and/or workers. Anarchists and Trots also enjoy widespread support among the working class as well.

All left-coms have to offer are snide remarks and whining. Their ideologies are tailor-made to justify sitting on one’s ass. They also all seem to write the same for some reason with lots of run-on sentences. The majority are also transphobic and/or class reductionist.

If you want a good laugh, ask one of them to coherently explain how they propose abolishing the commodity form. They will almost always start talking shit about the USSR instead :che-laugh:

A bunch don’t allow you to bring pets. Think about how fucked up that is. I could never abandon my dog out on the streets by themselves. :sadness-abysmal:

“I’m actually on the side of a CIA”

Cool, time to join them.

:stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:

… They liberated the people Batista had imprisoned on death row, yes.

Once you take power, you literally have to kill everyone who would commit acts of horrible violence against the revolution and the proletariat.

When our time comes, we will not make excuses for the terror.
