The IANA controls IP address allocation, so in that way, IP is centralized. And yes, as you mentioned, DNS is also centralized, and so is SSL/TLS. Having multiple options doesn't make something decentralized, it just means there are multiple centers.

And while I don't like how much control centralized organizations and corporations have over the supposedly decentralized Internet, we certainly shouldn't throw it out until we have something ready to replace it, and even then, it would have to be a gradual shift.

Every communist state will fail to achieve communism because a state cannot abolish itself, but don't try to pretend their failures are an indictment of communism as a whole. If we want communism, we have to get there a different way, through actions that are aligned with our goal. Seizing state power will never work.

And sure, maybe capitalism is working fine for you and your loved ones, but if you'd look outside your bubble, a lot of people are suffering. Insisting that capitalism is the only economic system that works is a bit shortsighted I think. Gift economies might be a better way.

There are plenty of Corporations that lean hard left.

What do you mean by this? I've never seen a corporation run democratically by the workers from the bottom up; it's always the opposite. Or is your idea of a "left" corporation one that puts a rainbow on their logo in June and engages in identity politics?

polictians are our common enemy

Agreed. We need to abolish the state.

The left are the fascists with their politically correct and willful segregation practices.

You seem to be describing liberals here(?) Liberals are not left, they're on the right. Also, you sound like a Republican.

Yeah that's how I interpreted it too. However, even with that interpretation, it feels like they're blaming the victim for their own subjugation.

It's akin to saying that black people stealing from Walmart gets in the way of eradicating racism, without addressing the reason why they have to steal in the first place. If they had money for groceries, they wouldn't be stealing. Likewise, if that young woman had enough money to live a comfortable life, I highly doubt she would have spent two years of her life married to that crusty old man. Subjugated people do what they have to do to survive.

We all word things the wrong way sometimes, and that's okay. Everyone deserves a chance to clarify what they meant. In this case, however, it seems that pH3ra has only continued to double down on their original statement.

Sounds about right for a tankie, class reductionism is stupid.

If horseshoe theory was actually true, you'd expect to see more of that sort of behavior among left-wing communists (such as anarcho-communists), but the opposite is true. Left communists are often the loudest critics of tankies.

Horseshoe theory has no basis in reality. If you actually knew the definitions of Left and Right, you would realize that they're diametrically opposite. Please educate yourself.
