  • The key word here that anarchists have a beef with in regards to a Transitory State, is "State". While you may think of the transition state as either a condition of being or a government anarchists object to the later. A transition period is fine by us but to anarchists this period is marked with prefiguration to our ideal communist society; because as the anarchist idiom goes, "The means by which we achieve our ends, will invariably determine what they will actually look like". This emphasis on prefiguration is important here to avoid the revolution's regression to capitalism as seen in the Soviet Union and China

    I'm not well informed enough on defence but looking at Rojava and especially the EZLN shows that you don't need a hierarchical chain of command to defend the revolution.














  • most of what I've learned of Trotsky was from my school history class, which when mentioning that he was closer to Lenin than Stalin, and that Lenin wrote a letter warning of Stalin's influence; that framing placed Trotsky in a better light. But what's weird was that my school was a private British international school, which had ideological reasons to smear the communists, but didn't do the Red Scare bit. But since I've grown-up, therefore becoming an anarchist 😎 I agree that Trotsky was very ideologically similar to Stalin; to his detriment.
