Reminder of the “no sectarianism” rule. There are plenty of actual anarchists out there who aren’t terminally-online shitstirrers.

:left-unity-3:

Radlibs and feds are fair game though.

                USSR collapsed because of a capitulating mode of reformism. nothing was any kind of death knell for it until 1987 when it rapidly gave in to and legitimised the secondary (black/grey market) economy as well as Gorbo thinking it was in the USSR's best interests to make itself more like a "Western Democracy", among other dimwitted and ideologically incoherent (unless one is basically radlib - yes Gorbo basically became the Rad Lib King) reforms.

          IRL anarchists are usually way better with their takes than very online anarchists.

        I share that criticism as an ML, which is why I consider anarchism to be the beginning and end of communism. It's the ultimate goal, and, if this makes sense, the stem cells, the DNA, the north star. Anarchists are always there to remind me what I ultimately want to build towards using state power for-to destroy the state, and all states:left-unity-2:

      I hate this interpretation of MLs.

      We don't love states, that's why we're fucking communists to begin with, we want a stateless, currencyless, classless society of abundance.

      The problem is that we need a proletarian state in order to defeat the bourgeoise states in order to get ourselves into a situation where we won't be utterly fucking crushed when we try and create that kind of society. States are bad, proletarian states do bad things too, we know that, we just also see it as impossible any other way, we want to end the proletarian states as well, that's the point, but we need to end the bourgeoise states FIRST.
