anarchists are important to the development of a communist society in the same way that communists are important to raising class consciousness in the current material conditions you need people who reject literally all abstracted power and structural, hierarchical ordering to be like "drat man, I dunno about this one dawg" when you're building your society to keep your bitch rear end in check, and if they start throwing bombs at you and you gotta kill them you probably hosed up somewhere

i have friends who describe themselves as anarcho-communists and i just want to help them understand the trillbillies had a good take on this in a recent episode where tarence was like "it would be nice if we could be anarchists and live in the stateless collective, but surviving climate change is going to require strong centralized power"

I’ve never really heard anarchists articulate any ideas that aren’t just basically already inherent to Communism. anti-state, anti-market, anti-hierarchy, etc are all just like, what’s supposed to happen after a socialist state builds itself to a sufficiently advanced level

even the part in the bread book where anarchists are supposed to be able to resist the reimposition of capitalism by people banding together and shooting every capitalist that tried to come back into their anarchist commune / anarchist region / anarchist nation-state or whatever would necessarily result in the congealing of some kind of centralized structure to control the armed resistance, even if everyone a priori believed in and was invested in resisting

Anarchists get a lot of their followers based on their color scheme. Red and black is cool. It let's you dress like a fascist but advocate for leftwing positions. It's the a political equivalent of the n-word pass

If the social standard is that you just shoot anybody who tries to do a capitalism no questions asked, then what's going to stop the community from shooting anybody else they don't like for other taboos?

Being "co-opted" by the counter-revolution means you're actively working in the interest of couter-revolutionary forces. None of the capitalist powers ever once thought to themselves, "oh the Soviets are actually working for us, if you think about it."

alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll i'm saying is that while a strong state/party may be necessary to the installation and progression of a revolution, as soon as power is pretty solidly seized, there should be attempts to balkanize as many systems of power as you can onto local actors that have material investment in the conditions. having too much centralized power inherently leads to too much calculation with people's lives and livelihood obviously you have to keep some vestige of revolution around if only to make sure as many pockets of culture are steered correctly as you can (yeah we don't want the hillbilly death squads), but i feel like accumulation of state power is basically Bad in general

If Narchos still did epic acts of terrorism and assassination against the ruling class they would be cool but all those dipshits do today is getting in brawls with the lowest rung of the barrel fascist nobodies and even so they get one or two casualties without enacting the same on them.

i mean think of it this way; if your goal is to reform basically all aspects of human relations to each other, their labor, and the things they produce, it's PROBABLY a good idea to generally disavow the blueprint you used to seize and build a large apparatus of power that allowed you to steer that process in the first place. not that a state will ever be FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE or anything, but when you have a presence in your daily life of some kind of unassailable amount of power/authority, you create and perpetuate systems that allow bad behaviors to prosper via exploitation/corruption in the short term (because taking shortcuts with people's lives is always more efficient than dealing honestly with them) and springboard into more nasty problems via capture of systems of power or creation of parallel structures that mimic what you've already got going on, so they can exert the same type of pressure or reinforcing hierarchy on free proles that you can as the Good State, but say "and do it or else will kill you" because they're fash poo poo heads.
