Honestly the black rose ranks among the best anarchist iconography, it's such a goddamn shame those crypto-platformists have stolen it for their name. It's like how "Love & Rage" was waaay too cool a phrase for the reds who used it.

You know like every single critique that postleftists or individualists make of the left? Platformism is like "what if we had a lot less anarchy and a lot more leftism." So hyper organizationalist / mass-fetishist, often very reductionist to class or race, weak on individualism.

When someone says something insane like "I know there's a lot of DRAMA about supposed rape or whatever but that feminist stuff should really wait till after the rev" there's like an 80% chance that person is a platformist.

More like stodgey classic leftists. Like they can be revolutionary, but you need to be a card carrying member of the org and recite The Platform and do what the vote/leadership tells you, etc...

oh, so kind of like the platform is a metaphor for unity illustrated using an example of a bunch of pieces of wood bound together into a structure
