Subreddit of the week: /r/SocialistRA (Socialist Rifle Association)

Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

What a self centered guy. The meme to end all memes? No, there will be more. But this one is pretty fun to watch on a loop. At least now if he's afraid to go out to dinner, nobody will have to look at him while they're trying to eat.
[–]makeinstall 71 points72 points73 points  (17 children)
Only the very next day did Trumps press secretary give the world its next meme. For example: best film evar!
KellyAnne Conway is trying to get in on the meme action today
Spencer will be crying in a week when his meme has lost its edge to the thousand others that will be out there, saying "best my meme was the best! You all said so!"

I just saw that with Conway. She drives me nuts and makes me want to punch my tv more than I normally want to. She never answers a question and tries to fill her time blowing hot air so there will be a minimal number of questions to dodge.

I saw her interview with Colbert the other week and it felt that shes doing somersaults in her head to say something without letting on whats really happening and maintaining that fake smile.
Same with Sean Spicer. Feels like they have guns held to their heads

What would you suggest? Fascism is explicitly irrational, so just talking to them will never work, and only give them a platform to influence others. Fascism is also based largely on violence, so they will and do become violent with their perceived enemies at the first opportunity they think they can get away with it. So what can we do? How can we shut them out of power and prevent them from hurting people?

MRA is short for Men's Rights Advocate. The group itself is the Men's Rights Movement, and the people in it are called MRAs. MRAA sounds like it would be some MRA subgroup or something.

[–]hamjam5 anarcho-Nietzschean 29 points30 points31 points  (9 children)
Constitution was an authoritarian betrayal of the people whose anger actually fueled the American revolution and who were then threatening the hegemony of the new colonial ruling class (see Shays Rebellion). And free speech for fascists is a terrible idea that will increase the possibility that we end up ruled by fascists.
[–]ascasco socialist 2 points3 points4 points  (8 children)
What do you mean? How was the constitution a betrayal of the revolution? I'm not doubting you, I'm just extremely curious.
[–]hamjam5 anarcho-Nietzschean 12 points13 points14 points  (7 children)
Totally fine, I love questions...
So, to give you the quick and dirty version, people often think of the U.S. revolution as being created by the rich upper class people like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, etc pretty much ex nihlo , as if they pulled an apathetic rabble kicking and screaming into revolt with a slick combination of their liberal rhetoric, strength of will and bootstraps -- but that really isn't the case. In reality the population was dealing with some pretty terrible economic and social conditions, and that prompted them to be eager to revolt against the British. They were already rioting and looting, the colonial upper class just used rhetoric and their social wealth and power to harness that widespread discontent into a revolution that put themselves in power instead of the British that they had revolted against.
But once the British state was gone, the lives of the poor didn't improve. In fact, it often got worse, as the new colonial ruling class tried to squeeze even more money out of them then the British had, and often refused to pay veterans the money they were owed, which led to even more foreclosures and poverty.
So the discontent that had made poor farmers willing to fight the British now caused them to turn on the new ruling class as well. Throughout the country the mentality of revolt that proposed "no more courts, nor sheriffs, nor collectors nor lawyers." started taking hold. Such a mentality actually took over Rhode Island by legislative means, and Vermont was such a hot bead with it that it prompted the U.S. to go ahead and annex the territory in order to get a handle on things. And, most famously of all, it also prompted Shays Rebellion, where people tried to militantly take control of Massachusetts.
The Constitution was the response to such an environment. It was expressly created so that the new ruling class could create a stronger more centralized authority by which to keep control of the population, and to protect their power and wealth from the discontent of the people -- the very discontent and people who had fueled the revolution in the first place.
It is actually very parallel to what happened in Russia -- where a discontent populous had a revolution, but then Lenin and the Bolsheviks took over it and then constructed a more centralized and authoritarian state to protect themselves as the new ruling class from the very discontent that fueled the revolution that put them in power, and then they went back an rewrote the history to make it seem like they had created and led the revolution themselves.
Funny, no matter what color of flag they fly, authority and power always acts the same.
[–]ascasco socialist 0 points1 point2 points  (6 children)
Wow, that's ridiculous. "No more courts, nor sheriffs, nor collectors nor lawyers." That sounds basically like proto-anarchism, no? Also thanks for the response! :)
[–]pandorasfunbox Anti-fascist 10 points11 points12 points  (0 children)
Rights kind of end where infringement of others' begins.

Fighting words are not protected. Advocating - however smarmy - for violence against a whimsically defined out-group based on immutable traits is not what the idea of freedom of expression is meant to protect.
In fact most of those who fancy themselves defenders of freedom of speech (expression) are the most virulently opposed to it.
Ask them what they think about women who don't enjoy being submissive to men. Ask them what they think of 'effeminate' men. Let's hear /pol/ on what they think about women with unnaturally coloured hair. Do you think they grant gender non-conforming people their freedom of expression, their right to just be themselves and not be stripped of their personhood?
[–]HuntDownFascists 9 points10 points11 points  (1 child)

I might just have fallen in love with the guy, what a champ. Only thing he could have done better was take that jerks phone and destroy it.
Also pretty sobering on how it gets more and more risky to protest with phones all around and people lining up to pull down masks and basically doing the police work for them. They should just put on brown shirts already and get it all out there.

i get frustrated with the 'with us or against' attitude of some people here but if this is what they're dealing offline it's totally understandable (i'm autistic and unfortunately i'm incapacitated by loud sounds so i mostly can't handle protests and the like, meaning a lot of this is second hand for me).

[–]FlorencePants 14 points15 points16 points  (0 children)
As much as I've been guilty of using the phrase "grammar Nazi" myself, I feel as though things like that have probably played a role of diluting the term to the point we're at now, where people don't even grasp what we mean when we say, "No, guys, this fuck really IS a Nazi."

Liberals? Pretty sure most liberals got no problem punching an asshole like him. And T_D had a thread going for a while not only defending and supporting Spencer, but attacking people who are anti-fascist. The last thing I would can T_D is liberal.

[–]germanaustrian 23 points24 points25 points  (1 child)
I just went back to the r/news and r/politics thread and I guess the mood has changed a lot from when I saw it (at only a couple hundred comments), because the "violence is never the answer" and "this helps them" stuff got deleted and downvoted, so I guess most liberals on here DO have it in them. Good to see.

[–]germanaustrian 55 points56 points57 points  (4 children)
I'm mostly annoyed with the r/news and r/politics liberal (or shill?) hivemind. I've read a lot of "muh free speech" "no platforming is fascism" "where does it lead" "alienating from the movement" "dirty anarchist peasants show up to marches and ruin them" "glad they got arrested" "the TRUE left isn't violent" and so on the last two days, that's why I've begun using liberal as kind of an insult lately. I know a few liberals and have discussed with them before and found them to be naive but at least supportive, so I do know there are good ones!

[–]KropotkinIsLove anarcho-communist- Red, Black and Proud 3 points4 points5 points  (5 children)
I think it's definitely the same guy on these two pictures but I don't believe that that's actually the guy who punched Spencer. I rather think they paid this porn actor to wear the mask and then made a photo of him.
Edit: Nevermind, I actually just saw this video and it seems like they got the picture from there... But yeah, it's possible that it's a different person, I gotta say that they look pretty similar though
[–]germanaustrian 5 points6 points7 points  (4 children)
Yeah the beard, glasses and eyes are very similar but to me at least the nose looks very different from the masked guy, almost like it has been broken before and with a "downward turn" while the porn guy seems to have an upward turned and more straight nose. Could be the different lighting/angle too, who knows.

Not as far as I know, but they do online harassment very well, like death threats, all kinds of spam, possibly per mail, online and phone, harrassing family and employer of the target, calling SWAT teams for a raid (not sure if necessarily /pol/ but that seriously happens to people online)....also the general dragging the name through the mud, if his porn activities were hidden, they would let everyone know while also accusing him of being the guy who threw the punch, no matter if he is or isn't. I just had someone tell me the person they doxxed is already dead though, so they don't really have a target.

Sorry /u/rleanor_eoosevelt. Just replying to you in hopes the Nazi defender sees it, as their comment has been deleted.
To /u/Dick_Fart_Champion you realize you're defending a Nazi.. right? One that calls for "peaceful" ethnic cleansing and would ship off or exterminate anyone that doesn't fit into his category of whiteness. Go to the alt-right sub and tell me you really want to defend them people. Unless you're a Nazi white supremacist yourself, then I guess you probably do want to defend them.

I'm sure it's just coincidence "hail victory" in German is "sieg heil", isn't it?

Well you proved me wrong. Dude is legit a Nazi. I'm Australian so I don't support him for that reason, I vote green here I'm definitely not a Nazi supporter.
I just don't think we should assault people on public. Violence is not the answer to speech.
But yeah you proved me wrong, he's clearly trying to appeal to Nazis.
[–]IAMTHEBATMAN123 34 points35 points36 points  (17 children)
Violence is the only way to deal with nazi trash. They don't listen to reason, they're so steadfast in their beliefs that any sort of discourse is pointless. These people won't change their mind no matter how strong an argument you might have. The only way to deal with them is in terms they do understand. Violence. If they got their way, they'd do much worse to us. Fuck alt-right, fuck nazis, fuck bigots and fuck those who try to defend them
[–]Dick_Fart_Champion -5 points-4 points-3 points  (16 children)
I'm not defending him, and you will confuse ally for foe if you consider this a defence. I'm defending freedom of speech, a basic human right that allows your views to exist as well.
[–]LiberaAnarkiisma post left anarchist| individualist | atheist | feminist | free software/culture 10 points11 points12 points  (7 children)
Listen, I'm for freedom of speech, but I believe there is a point when you can take that too far. For example.. you're not allowed to yell "Fire!" in a movie theater or to say you're going to shoot up a school. How is that any different from a Nazi saying he wants to exterminate folks?
/u/Unicorn_Abattoir, I'll ask you this question too.
[–]Unicorn_Abattoir discordian -4 points-3 points-2 points  (6 children)
For example.. you're not allowed to yell "Fire!" in a movie theater
This example is exactly backwards. The judge who used this reasoning was defending a notoriously bad case which was soundly destroyed by the Supreme Court, if we're going to talk about the legalities of speech. And speaking a real threat of direct violence ("I'm going to shoot this person") is different than saying "I think these people are subhuman. I'm sure that this guy has said ugly things, but I doubt he has argued for extermination. I would be very interested to see examples of his speech that are directly threatening.
[–]Unicorn_Abattoir discordian 2 points3 points4 points  (6 children)
Many people in this sub do not believe that free speech is a universal human right, or that it is a good thing. They explicitly want certain ideas to be punished by violence. I disagree, but it's an unpopular view. Prepare to be called a liberal, like that should hurt your feelings or something.
[–]IAMTHEBATMAN123 19 points20 points21 points  (1 child)
The only ideas I want punished by violence are those that are advocating violence against groups of people for things they can't control, such as race, gender, sexuality and ethnicity. You'll find that Richard spencer and the alt right routinely call for violence against people for these reasons, which is why I support violence against them. Political views are a choice, and the people that subscribe to these views are making the choice to of their own free will and they should not go unpunished for it.
[–]LiberaAnarkiisma post left anarchist| individualist | atheist | feminist | free software/culture 8 points9 points10 points  (3 children)

I'm in favor of freedom of speech as well - but if you are going to say something that is inflammatory, dangerous, fascist, racist, or otherwise, you should understand that someone may rightly punch you the face.
Hold whatever abhorrent, back-asswards, fucked up views you want but realize that words mean things and carry weight on this world. A free society has no room for the fascist dickbag platform, and we shouldn't allow it to exist. Punching Nazis is always acceptable.

To be fair, you're very rarely going to get anything close to an ideal, full-strength punch off in a situation where you're trying to do it in the middle of a crowd, before anyone notices and tries to stop you, while also caring about being able to get away safely and quickly.
Even if you are fit and relatively buff, you might not have the practical skills and knowledge (yet) for effective street brawling, or even if you do, a tap to the face might be all you can get away with, but it's still better than not punching a nazi at all.

Nothing about genetics. Strength is measured by your protential, not by the inflated gym numbers of internet strangers. Like all labors of love, it does take time.
Thankfully it cost me barely any money. My grandparentd never held a barbell in their hands, but were very strong from being physically active day in, day out.

jujitsu.
[–]thedignityofstruggle Other: Deep Green Pagan Doomerist 6 points7 points8 points  (2 children)
Is grappling. A great skill (i train three times a week) and does build strength, but wouldnt necessarily lead to better punches.
[–]coweatman 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)
no, it doesn't cover striking as well as it should, and it's probably best to pick up some striking skills from another discipline. however, it is a combat form where skill matters more than sheer bulk and power.
[–]thedignityofstruggle Other: Deep Green Pagan Doomerist 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I think the Gracie schools have some street jiu jitsu that covers a bit of striking. If one trains for MMA they typically split time between striking and bjj.
I fucking love brazilian jiu jitsu, and I suggest it to everyone. It is a LONG learning curve though.

[–]thedignityofstruggle Other: Deep Green Pagan Doomerist 2 points3 points4 points  (2 children)
Its decent. Its very hard to test because its not a sport. Muay thai and MMA striking or boxing are good for being able to fight standing. Jiu jitsu for the ground.
[–]coweatman 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)
does anyone compete mma with straight up krav maga?
[–]thedignityofstruggle Other: Deep Green Pagan Doomerist 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
No. Krav isnt really a style in that regard. Krav is street defense using whatever one has at ones disposal, and focuses on situational awareness, timing of attacks, and getting the fuck out of bad situations. They also teach a decent bit of weapons defense and disarmament.
[–]d_rudy Insurrectionist 1 point2 points3 points  (8 children)
Learning boxing will put you miles ahead in a street fight. It's also a lot easier and cheaper to pick up. The best way to learn to fight is to spar. I'm not sure how much sparring is done in Krav, but you'll get a ton of experience with that in boxing. Kicks are cool and everything, but they're risky in a street fight, because if you lose your footing and go to the ground, you could just get stomped tf out. True, boxing won't help you much when weapons are involved, but if you're trying to pick up effective technique quick, it's hard to beat just straight ahead boxing.
[–]oldschooldyingcat vegan anarchist- greener & pinker than you 0 points1 point2 points  (5 children)
Are you a boxer?
[–]d_rudy Insurrectionist 2 points3 points4 points  (4 children)
Learning. I'm not gunna toot my own horn, I'm not some super skilled fighter, but I am learning, and I've noticed my own progress since I picked it up over the summer. I'm not very big, but with a lot of practice my strikes have gotten a lot stronger and faster. Then again, as far as being big, there are a lot of professional fighters that aren't much bigger than me. Mostly I just need to get my technique down, and get some more stamina.
Edit: Also learning some muay thai and jiu-jitsu at the same time, but mostly focusing on the boxing right now, since it's easier to pick up.
[–]oldschooldyingcat vegan anarchist- greener & pinker than you 2 points3 points4 points  (3 children)
Can you tell us something about the process of getting into boxing? What does training look like? Is it an expensive sport?
[–]d_rudy Insurrectionist 4 points5 points6 points  (2 children)
My local anarchist social center has classes for free. Training is a a lot of conditioning, and a lot of repetition of skills, then sparring. We usually warm up with a lot of pushups, situps, squats, and shadow boxing. Then we usually pick a skill or combo to drill with a partner. Some people wear gloves for this part, but I'm trying to get my knuckles stronger for street fighting, so I'm using them less unless I really wanna wail on the bag without hurting myself. We usually do a couple drills, and then we'll do more conditioning. That's a lot of rapid fire punching and kicking on the bag, or with a partner and pads, to build up endurance. Lastly, after all that, we do some light to medium sparring, depending on the skill level and comfort level of the people involved.
As far as I know, with regard to other martial arts, boxing is one of the cheapest, and there are a ton of places to learn. In my experience, picking up the basics is pretty easy, and then it's more about drilling them and making them second nature and learning how to apply them in a real fight.
[–]coweatman 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)
i was always of the understanding that low, fast kicks are a way better idea than showy bruce lee stuff that's slower and leaves you more exposed.
[–]d_rudy Insurrectionist 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
The low kicks are effective, especially for breaking your opponent's stance, and much less risky than higher, or flashier kicks. I personally avoid them because, even though I practice them, I don't feel anywhere close to confident enough to use them effectively. Even low kicks can cause you to lose your footing for any number of reasons (you fucked up the kick, your opponent checked it really well, the ground is wet, etc etc)
[–]Ranger_Aragorn- Hatism 1 point2 points3 points  (2 children)

Easy to quarterback it from the comfort of home. So it looks to me that he actually elbowed spencer. Punching someone barehanded often leads to a broken hand. Landing a decent strike when you are at a run and not able to plant your feet is also very difficult. When you give someone a good cross or hook, the power for the pinch comes from the ground and how you plant and twist your feet, and then how you follow through with your hips, shoulders, etc. Doing this while running is not easy. The elbow was probably a good choice.
[–]ieatpussy69 Other: dada communist 0 points1 point2 points  (4 children)
Helps to have something solid in your fist, like a roll of quarters
[–]thedignityofstruggle Other: Deep Green Pagan Doomerist 0 points1 point2 points  (3 children)
Does that actually work? Obviously, boxers wrap their hands and wrists which helps to keep the many small bones of the hand separated, so perhaps holding something achieves the same effect.
[–]ieatpussy69 Other: dada communist 0 points1 point2 points  (2 children)
Never tried it honestly, I heard it from a friend. I think the extra mass would give your fist more momentum.
[–]thedignityofstruggle Other: Deep Green Pagan Doomerist 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I can see the weight of the hand being a factor. I mean, do you want to be hit with a one pound object moving twenty mph or a two pound object moving twenty mph? I guess I would be concerned with the quarter roll increasing the force of the impact on my own hand or finger bones. Maybe there is a mythbusters on this.
[–]WinterAyars 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I believe it's more that it keeps your fist firm and prevents it from collapsing when you hit the much more solid skull. I'm totally not an expert though.

English is not my native language, so I might be misinterpreting your first sentence. But are you saying that I'm having a big mouth because I wasn't there?
Well, it wasn't meant to come across that way at all. The message is: Strong people are useful people. Little 70kg manlets or girls who didn't learn to fight back are not. If you are an activist, you need to have a plan to defend yourself and others. This does not necessarily mean that if you resort to violence that it should be devastating. But you can't just throw punches and expect nothing to come back. You cannot outrun everybody, so be safe. When confronted, it's a nice feeling to know you do stand a change. I'm always worried about you skinny comrades out there. I want all of you not only courageous, but strong enough to defend yourselves.

First, it was an elbow, and fairly well executed one. Second, carrying out that shit in theory or in perfect scenarios is one thing, doing it in the heat of the moment is a little trickier.

effective strikes are not so much about strength as they are about efficiently transferring power. joanna jedzrejczyk at 115 lb could probably land a better punch while moving than 99% of people who can deadlift 600.
throwing punches is a much better way to get better at throwing punches. specificity is important.

[–]thedignityofstruggle Other: Deep Green Pagan Doomerist 1 point2 points3 points  (2 children)
Thats not necessarily true. In fact, i have watched big guys struggle to throw effective strikes because they "push punch" and have no technique.
Find me a weightlifter that can bench three times as much as me, but who has no fight training, and I guarantee I can punch harder and more effectively than him.
[–]BaronVonMannsechs Stirnerist anarchist 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
It takes some decent technique. When you're that close and throwing a hook or body shot, a lot of it's in the hips and transferring power from your feet. Tovarisch Punchy up there lost a lot of that from the looks of how his weight shifted.
[–]oldschooldyingcat vegan anarchist- greener & pinker than you 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I was talking about powerlifters, weightlifters don't bench much (or at all) and besides, benching obviously was not the point at all.
You have to be in the sport to realize how it transfers to all walks of life. I also didn't expect someone who squats 450 to punch like they do.
[–]jay-20 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
the adrenaline caused him to nearly miss and glance off. nice shot anyway
[–]tones2013 -2 points-1 points0 points  (2 children)
its not easy to put force behind a punch when you are running instead of properly anchored. in that situation a fly kick would have been best.
[–]oldschooldyingcat vegan anarchist- greener & pinker than you 5 points6 points7 points  (0 children)
Can you roundhouse kick? Chuck Norris would have roundhouse kicked him. Oh shit, wait. Chuck Norris would have saluted him.

I really don't want this to be fair, most of the less horrible liberals.

This does not necessarily mean that I'm not worried about the Nationalism or anything.
[–]gabehunter1 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I believe it, I don't believe that that's actually the guy who punched him, no matter what liberals say.
[–]b_germy 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
All they respect is power and wealth from the guy who punched him in the ribs.

Well, those were people standing near Richard Spencer and not able to get a handle on things.

That doesn't seem like a roll of quarters.
[–]Shark_Porn 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
On one hand, I don't like the idea that people cant speak their ideas freely. That kind of authoritarian control of speech seems to run counter to everything anarchism stands for.
On the other hand, I am on. board. With whooping that ass.
I guess I think everyone should have a right to speak their minds, but in certain scenarios they deserve to also have their ass whooped for it.
[–]kermabeba 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Hell, everyone should have a right to just be themselves and not punching him, so yeah, I would imagine.
[–]lord_lican1 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
This is why you need to seize the memes of production.
[–]umbra4235 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
We give them right to freedom of speech, the commons, we can take it away again. When leaders like this spreading hate and racism, to be so popular online, also the an-caps needs to be dealt with somehow twisting anarchism from community to egoism, to be punched is the only way. An-cap theory will just fade away to obscurity with DT in office, the biggest an-cap of them all. They do not go away by prayers. This guy is a hero and brave for doing what we all wanted to see. Sad that just now others want to attack anti-fa. Stay safe and protect each other. Remember these alt-right people are really violent and confused. BUT they do not own or know the streets! Solidarity from Italy!

If you can justly violence why stop at simple assault? He could have simply just stabbed Spencer to death, car bomb the rallies, burn their houses down, gun down their meetings, pull their babies out of incubators. Why draw a line?
[–]Summerspeaker anarcho-transhumanist 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
Some folks here are probably down for most or all of that. (I'm not one of them.) But let's no pretend that Richard Spencer was simply an innocent victim. Promoting white nationalism and collaborating with fascists in a white-supremacist society ain't a joke.

Why do you endorse violence? Pre-emptive war is mindset of Hitler.
[–]Summerspeaker anarcho-transhumanist 11 points12 points13 points  (6 children)
Many consider white supremacy as a world system to be a structural violence that justifies punching white nationalists as self-defense.

COUNTERPOINT: clearly the dude's a wimp, but he might be feeding y'all violent folks what you want to hear to encourage more chaos.
Lots of moderates believe he deserved getting punched, but they typically distance themselves from those they perceive as ime escalators of violence
