    I swear I saw the original version of this meme with the anarchy symbol instead of the hammer and sickle, though I can’t find it anymore. MLs don’t do anarchist erasure challenge: impossible.

      anarchist erasure

      You know you can just repost this with the anarchist symbol pasted over the hammer and sickle in response right? Like you think the OP presumably did to your symbol. If you care, there’s nothing stopping you from erasing us tankies right back, we can handle it. You could even snarkily title it “Perspectives about life (fixed)” or something. Go crazy, this is literally the meme community.

      Also, ironic that an anarchist is protesting someone covering up their symbol to express a different thought. No kings or masters or hierarchy but an abstract symbol on a shitpost is sacred and can’t be touched?

          Authoritarianism is when you’re a dick. Stepping in to use authority to deal with someone who’s being a dick? Somehow not authoritarian.

          You’re a hypocrite for asking me not to or pointing it out.

          No? I’m definitely what people like you call an “authoritarian seeseepee tankie” who supposedly loves suppressing speech for sport. My comment was perfectly inline (get it? cause I toe the party line?) with the totalitarian dictatorship aspirations I definitely totally have.

      The “original” is just Calvin and Hobbes, the only edits are adding symbols for each line of dialogue. I don’t think anarchists can claim to “own” the format of such a meme, it’s not like the original Calvin and Hobbes strip was explicitly an anarchist message or communist message.

        You don’t have to believe me, I just found it amusing. I remember seeing it and I can also see the hammer and sickle in this one is sharper than the rest of the image, meaning it was pasted over something. Don’t know if OP edited it or found it already edited, but I know the original is out there somewhere.

          Have you considered that this could be the “original” and you saw an “edited” one? Or perhaps both were done completely independently.

          Claiming Anarchist erasure because you saw a different version of an edited comic is quite a leap.
