RE: Marxism, Capitalism and the State

But it doesnt matter what they think, what matters is what they advocate for. While Chomsky calls himself anarcho-syndicalist / anarcho-communist.

Every single political position he takes is in favor of growing state power, even if he said on multiple occasions that the State should not interfere in the economy but it should be controlled by workers unions.

And I see this trend with many progressives: take the LGBT movement.

Don't get me wrong I support the LGBT movement, but take a look at what they are doing. There are many religious bigots that hate gay people, so instead of reasoning with them, organizing educational events and things like that where the LGBT community can interact with closed minded people and show them how it is better if they stop hating people. So reasoning with your adversary.

Nope, what they do is just call the nanny State and advocate for passing of hate-speech and anti-discrimination laws.

In Canada they take it as far as they call for fining of people if they refer to an LGBT person with the wrong pronoun.


Well that sounds like tyranny to me. And it's true for every kind of progressive movement.

  • Oh you want to help the poor? Let's steal money from you, instead of asking for it voluntarily.

And things like that. The progressives are not voluntarysts, while their goals are noble, they still use the State for it.

People should learn already that the end's don't justify the means.

You can't create freedom through the State.
