Interesting to note that the teens and young adults who overthrew the government elected their new prime minister on Discord, and the military acknowledged the election and put the winner in place.

      And that’s exactly the story for me. I came to realize that the “regime” narrative we were being fed in the news was a CIA talking point.

          The ancom voice was by far the loudest voice on the sub. r/moretankiechapo and r/genzedong were where I really started to learn about theory, and eventually started actually reading someone other than Murry Bookchin or Noam Chomsky.
