For a group advocating freedom… This what freedom is to them… That’s really messed up.
But, y’know. Linking up with them is no different than when a Soviet a hundred years ago linked up with reactionary trade unionists, and will have no lingering repercussions in the future. Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.
I just want fifteen minutes in a windowless room with whoever runs that libertarian twitter profile
Just fifteen
Oh there was even more messed up posts that account posted or retweeted… Ableism too. Way to make less people other than rich white men want to be apart of that group.

Whole lot of ‘comrades’ lately wanting to see people linking up with libertarians like these as part of Rage Against the War Machine, typically in willful ignorance of the shit they do like this to basically signal that if you’re Black, queer, or otherwise non-cishet non-white, you’re not welcome there.
Unless you needed context on the ‘fifteen minutes’ remark; in which case, I just want to beat the brakes off whoever tweeted this odious garbage.
Working with libertarian orgs is a bad idea all around. They range from re-skinnned fascists at worst to embarrassments (even among libertarians!) at best.
Individual libertarians, though, occasionally offer some potential for bringing people around to socialism. You’ll find some who give a shit about other people, aren’t bigoted, and who will be critical of businesses as well as governments. There’s something to work with there, in my experience.
I 100% agree here. From experience and know a libertarian.
Sounds similar to those who say “we must debate - both sides” to things like "we ban bigots for reasons "

At what point, whether through ignorance or maliciousness, are we going to call conservatives what they are—-Fascists? I have friends and family who are fascist. I talked on the phone to a fascist today. It is what it is.
