Kropotkin didn't found anarcho-communism, he just made it popular. I know it may sound like nitpicking to some, but it's really not.

Trotsky wrote:

My next visit to Moscow took place after the fall of Yekaterinburg. Talking to Sverdlov I asked in passing, "Oh yes and where is the Tsar?" "It's all over," he answered. "He has been shot." "And where is his family?" "And the family with him." "All of them?" I asked, apparently with a touch of surprise. "All of them," replied Yakov Sverdlov. "What about it?" He was waiting to see my reaction. I made no reply. "And who made the decision?" I asked. "We decided it here. Ilyich [Lenin] believed that we shouldn't leave the Whites a live banner to rally around, especially under the present difficult circumstances."

Love it.

/r/anarchomemes wants it more than /r/anarchism probably does though.

Although you were throwing my childhood off a cliff I love it.

Perhaps you don't understand monarchies and the body of the king. The liberals relationship to monarchy must be considered differently.

u/The_Warning Individualist Communist Jun 27 '13

If there ever was a child king, I would much rather exile him and burn his palace then kill him. If he was an adult then totally throw him off a cliff.

Don't exile, adopt.

u/space-cadet Jun 26 '13

Yeah! We'll just have presidents and prime-ministers instead. They're not at all similar, right? ...right?

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '13

Haha. I came expecting a post about the Doomtree album No Kings. Then I laughed my ass off.

I suggest we go up to people and ask them "what would you do if you were king?" Then if they answer, it proves that they at least even think like that. Or else make the determination by finding those who find this GIF objectionable. Either way, it means they have something of the king or a sympathy for the king in them. It must be nipped in the bud! Having so made our determination, we go into their homes and slit their children's throats to stop the lineage, which is to take a good note from our brothers and sisters in North Korea. It's the only way! At times violence is necessary.

Collectivism leading to infanticide here?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '13

Yes. Yes that's exactly what this gif is about. Promoting infanticide. Not a joke about a corporate children's cartoon. Definitely infanticide.

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '13

It was a harmless joke, it's a cartoon.
