i was an anarchist for two years. ive read marxist theory while being an anarchist, and I wasn't really against marxist principles or the idea of a party and state during revolution

what made me go from anarchism to marxist-leninism was maoism, chairman mao and chairman gonzalo had formalized ML theory in a way that made me understand it better. I had a few disagreements before, but I slowly got more and more tankie as I understood more. my values are still the same, but I am now active in a communist party and work as a socialist in several movements
