Pic related is the old left that I remember. The last couple of years have been different. Mentally illness and violence, shutting things down isntead of forcing debates. What happened?

The racist right keeps pushing their limits so we had to shut them down
>>130544159
That is not a leftist position but an authoritarian one.
>>130543990
The old left fucked up by associating with communists. They should have went classical liberal. Chomsky at some point defended Pol Pot. Conservatives took advantage of that to paint him as a lunatic.
>>130543990
The establishment is confirming their bias so it can't be corrupt! FUCK BUSH AMIRIGHT!?!?!?!
>>130543990
Chomsky is alright for a commie, his documentary Manufacturing Consent is a must watch for any /pol/ack regardless of political persuasion.
>>130545156
It's only good for non-authoritarian fags.

The left been the same it always has been since far longer than anyone on this rock's been alive. They're just more outright and open about because on one hand they can get away with it and on the other their control of society is being realized and challenged.

He's not a commie, and he's banned from Israel.
WHAT. DOES. THAT. TELL YOU

Broke clocks are right twice a day. Though to be fair that's two more times than the average leftist.

The left has always been about reactivity, chaos and undoing. In some periods of time that has been more or less beneficial. Now there's nothing left to undo and we must be constructive. The left does not know how to do so except through weak 5 Year Plans that are accomplished through cheating and purges (further chaos).
The subversion rumor was absolutely true. Feminists who would have been well-versed in the law and history and would consider feminism to be merely about having a few extra options in life turned into screeching half naked blue haired proud porn stars. Highly separate gays and lesbians who tried to keep their preferences humble and private turned into rainbow public sex on leashes. Black Panthers turned into suburban black girls crying about people trying to touch their hair.
A rootless culture of narcissism that encourages ever more postmodern contrarianism made an intellectual and provocative left turn into a mere farce in just thirty years. But anarchism, even the Chomsky kind, could never be cohesive and so would be prone to the slightest temptation.
Let's just not let the same thing happen to the right. Because it is happening. What looks like a renaissance of the right as of now is mostly composed of weak, opportunistic elements that will replay the same cycle of decay the left went through.

There are two kinds of lefties:
1) Commie scum who need to be destroyed
2) Kids who haven't gotten a job yet
>>130543990
The left is violent by virtue, see the communism revolution,cuba,the years of lead and other "red" riots between the 60s to the 80s.
>>130543990
They're still exactly the same, saying right-wingers are the only ones who brain wash and propagate.
Meanwhile, that's practically all them. Always has been.
>>130543990
>says the stupid faggot who also said "Mao didn't do nuffin"
Old left as retarded as the present one.
There is no such thing as Left and Right, they're just masks.
The "left" of today is the "Right" of yesterday, which was "Left" the day before, and "Right" before that. Same shit, different dog, changing faces when it's convenient.

Chomsky used to be a pretty based intellectual, too bad he's been senile for a while now
Stop gaping the Left vs Right professional wrestling match. There's the media-military-surveillance-government-academia complex, those who benefit from it, and everyone else. The above seems contradictory until you realize everyone is getting paid, and well paid at that.
Of the latter, a small percentage have an actual grasping of the realities.

That 'old left' is all too happy that someone does the dirty job for them.
If Chomsky had a shred of integrity left he'd be crying his lungs out about the MSM suppression of opinion all the every day.
