  • I don’t know what anarchists like this expect when the only hill they choose to die on (i.e. denouncement of basic authority utilized by leftists) is orthogonal to socialism and beneficial to capitalism.

    I have no time for people who allocate outrage to working class achievements and ceaselessly ignore or celebrate their, arguably indirect and less centralized, oppression by capitalists.

    I want to work with anarchists more than any other communist I know IRL - but when right out of the gates its just fearmongering about totalitarianism/authoritarianism, which apparently somehow isn’t a historic cornerstone of capitalist empires, what is there to even say. And that is the entire point - whoever invented these terms and associated them with working class organization sowed division for centuries at this point.

    Independent study of working class history is all that is needed to heal this divide - but the western propaganda is infinitely more accessible.
