Worst of Social Justice

[Askold]

Finland has a group of Anarchists that like to cause trouble and damages in every single protest.

People protesting against the government? Anarchists: "Let's help them by breaking windows, that should get some public support for them."

Neo-Nazis having a protest and trying to make themselves look like patriots? Anarchists: "Let's go throw rocks at the police so that people forget all the Nazi stuff and everyone who opposed the Nazies will be put in the same group with us and Nazies will be remembered as peaceful protesters and innocent victims!"

"Yay! We are helping!"

Honestly, they just look for reasons to riot and the only people they are helping are the ones they supposedly oppose.

Finns trying to draw attention to themselves? am I in an alternate universe?

Dude, I'm actually a fan of Lenin, flawed as he was, but that's just ludicrous. Lenin was a communist, not merely a socialist, which existed long before his, and the experiment failed as soon as Stalin took over. This is nothing more than preaching a faith, not arguing a point.

Aye.  Makes me wonder what would've become of Russia had Lenin not died when he did and he'd succeeded in keeping Stalin as far away from real power as possible.  Even sadder when you consider that its likely that Lenin quite literally worked himself to death.

"Oh, yeah - actually abolishing capitalism."

I'm guessing they've never heard of the New Economic Policy.

Well he's not wrong about anarchists being wankers

i should take offense to that, but people who call themselves old-school political anarchists are of the bomb throwing kind. i'm surprised the op didn't mention the black hand, who was the spark that ignited the powder keg of europe in 1914. you know, fraggin' franz ferdinand?

also, most of these achievements came from the enlightenment, not lenin. but, hey, we've got a socialist droid here. can't expect critical thinking.

Aren't old-school anarchists mostly anarcho-syndicalists ?

...Jesus Christ, where do I begin?

From a different perspective, authorities sure have an easy time discrediting politicial movements. All they have to do is plant a few agents who start breaking shit and public opinion is easily swayed against the movement as a whole.

Context, UP?

Context: "Somebody said Japanese culture is bigoted against non-Japanese. Even though it is a virtually a non-integrated country. With a multitude of examples of cultural bias against non-Japanese. I am owning this shit lord with my Ninja Assassin pseudo sociopolitical whargarble because I am a sixteen year old white American Trans-Japanese. My pronouns are: Shut, The, Fuck, Upself.

Yeaaah, Japan's xenophobia problem is arguably worse than America's.  Most folks here appear to, at the very least, grudgingly accept minorities.  There, you're screwed if you aren't Japanese, unless you wanna be a trophy cracker.

There are a lot of incidents like that in history, but I have not heard convincing evidence of that being the case in these particular incidents.

Do I get paid? I don't mind degradation if I get to do nothing and get paid.

[mellenORL]

But you gotta do nothing while wearing only a stars-n-stripes cowboy hat, rhinestone western boots, and star-spangled banner briefs. 

[RavynousHunter]

Ya do get paid, but only in Yen.  Paid for looking white and successful, basically.  You'll likely have to learn Japanese, though, and that's a LOT easier said than done...unless you already know it, in which case, have fun, I suppose.

They sometimes offer jobs to foreigners but it's really just a trap to kill and eat weebs.
