fine, then i guess i’m not a leftist. personally i prefer talking to people who have thought their ideas for what the future of society should look like all the way through before sending threats of losing literally all of their friends to people who don’t believe in it.
oh for fuck’s sake throw the whole fediverse away. yall are brain dead.
What happens when vigilantes nail the wrong guy due to mistaken identity or misunderstanding? What happens when they start going after people who might commit crimes? Why do you think letting people appoint themselves judge, jury, and executioner whenever they feel like it is a good idea?
When the communist utopia comes to pass, I for one don’t want to constantly be watching my back in case I happen to have similar looks or speech patterns (or tastes in media!) to somebody who raped somebody else. That kind of goes against the whole all-in-this-together part of communism.
Snidely paraphrased: Snitching to cops is nazi collaboration, but vigilante-ism is cool and works. The state is bad, except when I’m the state. I wanna be the boot and the hero
In past when I have expressed this view I have been helpfully informed that I love human suffering
this is not an answer. if you don’t want to abolish capital and the state, you aren’t a leftist.

Ah, but you see, snitching to cops is bad because they serve corrupt power structures, and those definitely won’t exist under communism.
