Upon my honour I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor, Titus Mede II, and unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire. May those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!

So I live in this place, you know, this anarcho-totalitarianist country, where the government, like, the government, the evil oppressive state, yeah, it solely exists to ensure a state doesn't arise. Don't worry if that doesn't make a lot of sense, because it does. Anyways, me and a couple of my buddies decided to start making insulin, you know, as a sort of hobby. Because making insulin is a normal hobby that everyone has, right? So little Steve goes, "Man, we should probably get someone to lead our project, someone to organize things so we could be a bit more effective." And we were like "yeah, that sounds like a good idea," and then suddenly the police come in, and they're like, "Stop! Stop! No centralization allowed!" And we're like, "This isn't a hierarchy, we're just getting a leader to lead our efforts, you know?" And the police went, "Nuh uh, that sounds like statism to me. You have been warned!" So then we got back to work, and Mike was like, "I don't know anything about making insulin! You guys just get the parts, and I'll make them for you guys." And then the police came back and they were like, "Stop! That's ableism!" And Mike was like, "How is it ableism if I'm talking about my own abilities?" and the police were like "we don't care, we're not ableists like those authoritarian redfash tankies." And then they said "If you're gonna make insulin, you better make it so everyone can understand!" So we decided to stop making insulin because everyone got bored and then my diabetic uncle came to us for help because he was gonna die and couldn't find insulin anywhere, but then the police stopped us from trying to give him the insulin we made because that was kinda like how spooky states gave out medicine so my uncle died.

Imagine that you're a landless peasant from a poor country in West Africa:

You've been ground down your entire life, toiling for 12 hours a day in the sun for a small barely subsistence wage. Your parents were born as colonial subjects in a European colony. Your grandparents were essentially slaves. Your great grand parents were formally slaves. After decolonization, the CIA backed a coup in your country that installed a brutal dictator that terrorized your people and chopped up your parents for having been involved in the decolonial struggle.

You find out about a subversive political group that's been preaching everything you know intuitively but could never articulate. They say that your labor is exploited, and the reason your pay is so low is because a cut gets sent to the West where white people will get to use it to live lavishly. The group is your local Communist Party.

You get educated through free classes by the Communist Party and eventually become a member. You risk imprisonment for just being a member and the ruling regime has been known to disappear and torture Communists. You don't care, it's worth it. You've now read virtually all of Marx and Lenin and Mao and Fanon etc despite never having attended school. Your involvement in the Party over the years gets you into influential positions within it.

You attend an international meeting of Communist Parties as a representative from your country. It's an extreme honor to work with comrades from all around the world. You hear their stories and realize that their struggles are the same whether they're in Africa, the Middle East or Latin America. The group sets out to work on a principled anti-imperialist line to help liberate all these comrades from the grip of imperialism and eventually capitalism. You understand that socialism is impossible in your country until the aggression and exploitation from the West ceases, so this is very important to you. You and your comrades have decided that despite many of their flaws, you should support Russia as a counterweight to US Imperialism which has utterly decimated your peoples, as well as DPRK, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and China, which have all always stood by your comrades when they fight Western occupation and exploitation.

On the other side of the world, sitting in an air conditioned suburban home that is worth more than all the homes and possessions of all the people in your village combined, is the infamous western anarchist (or democratic socialist, whatever they're going by at the moment). He's 28 and recently laid off from his job as assistant manager at pizza hut. He's not a millionaire or anything but he never has to skip meals, has electricity, clean running water, and owns a catalog of video games worth more than your annual salary. He's never had to work more than a 10 hour shift baking bread sticks. He's been living off his parents who are both retired and receive generous pensions funded by collecting dividends from companies that exploit your village. The western leftist looks at his laptop made with rare earth minerals from your country (three of your cousins died in the mines) and is also worth enough to feed your children for three years.

He sees on Twitter dot com that an international group of Communist Parties has released their Anti-Imperialist line in support of Russia. The western leftist reads it as he sips coffee that was made from beans grown in your comrade's home country, where his mother, father and aunt and uncle were all killed by CIA-backed death squads. The western leftist reads the article and is incensed. "How could they do this? How could they be this stupid? Fucking tankies, don't they know you can support oppressed people without supporting authoritarian dictatorships"?

(Taken with slight modifications from an old post on CTH, that place had the occasional gem)

What the fuck are you doing in my fucking swamp you little Farquaad? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Brogres, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on your donkey, and have ogre 300 confirmed layers. I am trained in making early 2000's pop cultural references, and am the top ogre in the entire far far away armed forces. You are nothing to me but another Drek. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which have never been seen in Dreamworks, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that dreck to me over the swamp? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of fairy tale creatures across Far Far Away and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, Farquaad. The storm that will end your fucking life. It's fucking ogre, Donkey. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in ogre seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare asscheeks. Not only am I shrextensively trained in onionade combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Fairy Godmothers Factory and I will use it to its full shrextent to wipe your miserable little ass of of the face of mah swamp, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn Rumpelstiltskin. I will shrek fury all ogre you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, Pinocchio.

I guess what I… would wanna say is… to… look on the bright side. First of all, nobody on the surface was killed, and that- I mean an incident like this under a populated sea route, that right there, that’s- that’s just gotta be some minor miracle, so… Plus, neither boat was full, y’know the- the Titan was… was what? agh- Maybe two thirds full I believe? Right? Yes. Maybe even three quarters full; On any rate… what you’re left with, casualty-wise is… just the fiftieth worst maritime disaster, actually tied for fiftieth, there are, in truth, fifty-three sinkings throughout history that are just as bad or worse. Titanic? H-h-has anybody maybe even heard of Titanic? No? In 1912, a fully loaded cruise-liner crashed into a fully loaded iceberg in the northern Atlantic, we’re- Does anybody know how big a cruise-liner is?! I mean it’s WAY bigger than a submarine, and we’re talking about one of them. Nearly one-thousand five-hundred people died- on Titanic, but do any of you even remember it? At all? Any of you? I doubt it. You know why? It’s because- People. Move. On… They just move on, and we will too, we will move on, and we will get past this, because that is what human beings do, we- survive… and-agh… and we survive and, and and, we-we overcome, yeah. We survive, we survive and…. Yeah.

Besides, who gives a shit about billionaires anyway?

Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Hopeville, there lived a young prodigy named Richard Richman. Richard was a charismatic and ambitious individual who had an unwavering belief in the power of individual freedom and the market forces. He was hailed as the Ultimate Libertarian, a title bestowed upon him for his unyielding dedication to laissez-faire capitalism.

Richard's journey began in a modest upbringing, but his insatiable thirst for success and wealth knew no bounds. As a child, he would trade baseball cards and lemonade with such shrewdness that his classmates marveled at his business acumen. Richard's entrepreneurial spirit flourished, and he quickly realized that the free market held immense potential for his ambitions.

With an unwavering belief in the invisible hand of the market, Richard embarked on his quest for wealth and success. He founded his first company, LibertyTech Industries, which specialized in manufacturing cutting-edge gadgets that championed personal freedom and innovation. His products boasted features like encrypted messaging, surveillance-resistant technology, and an app that magically minimized tax liabilities.

As his company flourished, Richard became a paragon of libertarian success. He would regale audiences with his tales of self-made triumph, attributing his wealth solely to his individual brilliance and the power of the free market. Richard's charismatic speeches and persuasive rhetoric convinced many that his success was a testament to the inherent fairness of the system.

Over time, Richard's wealth grew exponentially, and he joined the ranks of the elite billionaires. His opulent lifestyle knew no bounds, featuring private islands, extravagant parties, and luxury yachts adorned with gold-plated faucets. He relished in flaunting his wealth, often dismissing concerns about income inequality and societal disparities as mere envy or laziness.

Richard's influence reached far and wide, as he poured his wealth into political campaigns promoting deregulation, tax cuts, and minimal government intervention. He funded think tanks that churned out intellectual arguments in favor of privatizing everything from education to healthcare, arguing that the market would magically solve all societal woes.

However, behind Richard's carefully crafted image of libertarian success lay a darker truth. His accumulation of wealth was often at the expense of workers' rights, environmental regulations, and social safety nets. Exploitative labor practices and questionable business ethics were conveniently hidden behind a veil of "free choice" and "personal responsibility."

But the Ultimate Libertarian's story doesn't end there. As Richard reveled in his riches and preached the gospel of the free market, whispers of dissent grew louder. Workers, burdened by low wages and oppressive working conditions, began to question the very principles Richard championed. Advocates for social justice and economic equality started challenging the notion that unregulated capitalism was the key to a prosperous society.

Revisionist rats!

I did nothing but good for your project, yet you banned me for my ideology in haste!

I gave you many chances to unban me, I could have made thousands of edits, yet you rejected me.

Now… you have forced me to go THERMONUCLEAR!
