      Literally more unity than the libs have. If a Lenninist-Maoist-Marxist revolution happens I'm a Lenninist-Maoist-Marxist. Idgaf we need to fix this shit

        Lenninist-Maoist-Marxist

        What the hell is this? Did a Trotskyist and Maoist fuck to make these ideological term into existence?

        Note: Leninist-Marxist is what the classic Trotskyites called themselves... becuz Stahlin...

          You are aware that some people don't strive to be revolutionaries (or martyrs). I would try to work for the cause. Mind you, I can't honestly tell you what I would do until it happens. If there were a theoretical Anarchist Commune of California, I would support it for sure, whether through labor, resources, etc. I'm not sure I would bleed or die for it, though.

            I doubt any anarchist project would have the option of purity testing while trying to stay alive. I assume (just a layman) they would take basically anyone who is in opposition to the state or in support of the commune.

    Sectarianism, fed by fanaticism, is always castrating. Radicalization, nourished by a critical spirit, is always creative. Sectarianism mythicizes and thereby alienates; radicalization criticizes and thereby liberates. Sectarianism in any quarter is an obstacle to emancipation of mankind.

      Also I find the whole "remember that infighting that happened in the 50s? We can't be friends" thing to be fed-coded.

    I'm chill afterwards too. I don't think any anarchist not-a-state can exist without a neighbouring communist state without getting eaten by neighbouring capitalist states. Therefore remaining friends post-revolution is essential for that entity.

    It really depends on how you want to look at "revolution". Most people seem to be thinking in a nationalist way, that the revolution is done only in one country. But I don't think that's right, the revolution isn't finished until it's done in all countries, and no anarchist space can be safe until that's achieved.

    Once ALL capitalist states are gone then it gets pretty ropey with the communist states, but also the communists should theoretically start to become anti-state themselves at that point.

    Revisionist rats! I did nothing but good for your project, yet you banned me for my ideology in haste! I gave you many chances to unban me, I could have made thousands of edits, yet you rejected me. Now… you have forced me to go THERMONUCLEAR!

    quote from WisconCom...

    seriously, though, imagine if WisCom boy was here (context: extremely anti-revisionist anti-Dengist Hoxhaist bunkerboy)

    This is a real question I'm asking and I'm not being sectarian I hope. Are there any current socialist states that make a big deal about anarchists? I haven't heard anything.

    I know that there are anarchist communes in Venezuela, but their socialist party is cool with them and works together. I know that Thomas Sankara went after "anarcho-syndicalists" but I think that's because they were attached to French labor unions, or something like that.

    I don't know anything about anarchists in Cuba, the PRC, or the DPRK. I used to know an anarchist comrade who lived in Vietnam but most of his political animosity was pointed at America, as it should be. It didn't seem like Vietnam cared much about him being an anarchist.

      Beehaw, Lemmy.world, Blahaj, and all the lovely liberal ilk of Lemmy, who think themselves supremely to be left-leaning, but in actuality, are the most pathetic social-chauvinistic philistines of the West that they dearly clung onto...
