Is there any meaningful difference between "lifestylism" and "virtue signalling"

Is there any meaningful difference between "lifestylism" and "virtue signalling"

the spelling

they're just buzzwords used by people who typically are themselves lifestylists

Marxism isn't a brand or a sticker or a cause for retards who want to help people. It's analysis of the political economy. What you do with it is entirely up to you. I do fuck all with it

Well, yeah, leftcoms aren't lifestylists, they're hobbyists. Just as bad, if not worse.

And? Anybody can apply Marxist analysis fucking porky applies that shit all the time. You niggers can bash some fash if it feeds your narcissistic supply or wear the hammer and sickle sticker at college and be an edgy faggot other people have jobs and shit

No. Both act as a substitute for meaningful action.

that's rich coming from Holla Forums NEETs' ideology of choice

Lifestylism requires more effort. Both are shit.

The anarcho-nihilist flag is our NEET ideology of choice

leftcom flags and annil flags are indistinguishable when it comes to action

fuck off m8

Everyone supports some kind of action, difference is you faggots fetishize any retarded non-action as something meaningful while we have a realistic outlook on shit. I was a founding member of the Marxist group at my university, I host a leftist reading group at Meetup.com once a month and I used to volunteer at a Catholcuck charity organization for years I attend all the major left wing protests around my city and area. I fucking probably did more left wing shit than most of this board combined

Cool m8 you should get some accolades for your amazing feat of activism and sew the patches on your shirt

love to be an infantile leftcom that complains about narcissism while jerking my dick and dictating who performs real action

Why don't you get your head examined bitch titts

This leftcom flag is great for triggering faggots here who have no idea about anything and only know leftism through internet memes. I'm pointing out that Marxism is a social science, an analytical tool that anybody can use from any background it's not a sticker or a movement or a brand where faggotry like "lifestyleism" or "signalling" applies join the aut right if you want to be part of a retarded movement

...

what did he mean by this?

desd

There's a big difference between marxian analysis and marxism as such. Marxism is very much a project to change the world and bring about communism.

ITT: retards
leftcoms are simply critical of practical activism and lifestylist LARPing, they're not complete abstentionists

You stupid fucking retard, go back to the low life gutter you came out of you filthy piece of shit

Refusing to participate in electoral and everyday politics is very much abstentionism.

And isn't practical activism exactly what we want? A departure from the impotence of liberal idpol and lifestylism?

t. non-abstentionist leftcoms

You're so incredibly full of shit. Leftcoms did far more to fight fascism than you've even thought of doing. Seriously kys.

Electoral politics are bullshit and is something anarchists avoid too. Particularly in the US where we have no entry point with the exception of small local offices.

I'm illustrating that you can do things irl and criticize activism when its unproductive and irrelevant.Nobody has a stance of not doing anything on principle.

oh yes, Anarchist praxis, no I truly see.

Except, you know, coordinate with other leftists like rational people.

electoral politics in the United States is a dead end you're better off beating up conservative students at Berkley

Electoral politics in the US have proven to be a great means of raising the idea of socialism back into public consciousness. Many socialist orgs benefited from Sanders run, and most americans only really pay attention to politics during an election cycle anyway.

Yeah outside of voting for Bernie Sanders and shit, but it's still ultimately meaningless since it's a two party system and you cannot change the democrat party into a left wing party and organizing an alternative party is always a dead end

The DSA's strategy of running candidates in democratic primaries and supporting anti-establishment candidates where they arise isn't a bad strategy. Every step must be taken to weaken the central democratic party, which does not have the power to stop candidates from running in its primaries. A DSA member just won a city council seat in Atlanta, which was the first real test of this strategy. Of course, you have to be careful to not let the democrats co-opt the movement, which is why a large part of organizing must also occur outside of it.
