    Yeah, in hindsight this was an overly simplistic take from me. The same thing occurs with abuse of Lenin's rhetoric regarding electoralism and lesser evilism, justifying racism using the doctrine of "lumpenproletariat" etc. I suppose I was just frustrated because many of the anarchists in my onw life have an alarming tendency to get swindled by the likes of Jo Jorgensen who, to credit her rhetoric, criticize corporate power. Albeit she does this in a way which would only re-enforce capitalist hegemony if ever applied, and I think it is my anarchist friend's lack of theoretical basis which, again, is nothing unique to anarchism (citation: a billion "read theory" memes lol)
