Anarchy is always going to fail, not just under its own naivety, but as others said because any organized system can easily crush it.

Someone who loves anarchy should make a thread so we can make fun of it.

Look if this is gonna be a serious discussion I'll give you my point of view.

If I had to choose a label I would consider myself an ancom. I think authoritarianism is oppressive to the working class in nature, whatever the intentions. But you know what I am absolutely against, more than anything? This hellworld that capitalism has birthed and sustained for us.

So when two leftists, both egalitarian and against the capitalist state, start infighting about what comes after, I only have one question:

who loving cares?

Honestly can't this poo poo take a backseat to the struggle against the state? The left can't afford to be divided if we want to get anything done. I don't give a gently caress about how we do it, I'd loving join a vanguard party if that's what it took.

People are suffering and dying until this is over. My dad died from an overdose and my sister hanged herself two years ago, far FAR before they could live long and fulfilling lives. I took up firearms, even though I don't hunt or enjoy them as a hobby, because I can see the benefit to arming the working class. I've done mutual aid. I've joined tankie reading sessions to talk and learn from the authoritarian left. I help organize dozens of people. I do everything I can, however I can.

I know it's just shitposting online, but every time this happens we're loving ourselves in the rear end when it comes to solidarity. We can't afford this poo poo.

My life has been destroyed from this hellworld and I have to watch others suffer while I desperately do what little I can to mitigate their anguish. Get us the gently caress out of this and stop this dumb infighting poo poo that helps no one.

Anyways that's my rant, thanks.

Non-anarchists have almost gotten a semi-decent candidate elected for president until the state blatantly cheated, and normalized many of the foundational ideas of socialism and questioning the authority.

i care because i don't want to have that poo poo reimposed on us after we finally manage to break the power of the capitalists

this isn't even some kinda theoretical scenario, the ruling class has never ever just meekly accepted defeat and the stakes are too high to go for an approach that cannot work

The answer is to have an army lol. Internal influences largely disappear under a proper anarchist revolution, as the instruments of oppression are dismantled. This has all been written about in theory since Kropotkin and been implemented in practice by various societies operating on anarchist principles.

That's the hosed up thing about these snipes. In socialist societies that are successful comrades work together. Zapatistas united mlers and anarchists and even loving christians thanks to a dose of unity. As a result their growing socialist project is a radical democracy based on assemblies that somehow managed to withstand Mexico's army, paramilitary influences and the cartels with their own strength; they managed to create a distributed worldwide network for their exports thanks to alliances with small orgs elsewhere; and most importantly, they have created a pocket of true egalitarianism that not only subsists, but even thrives. On the opposite side, a lot can be learned from Cuba. But we're over here trading barbs in a funny picture thread when we could have solidarity and maybe even learn something, considering our end goals are so similar.

ah yeah, because having an army makes you invincible, right? this is what i don't get, you manage to identify the state as an instrument of coercion, but then you don't manage to take the next step and realize that the ability to engage in massive coercion also means that you can mobilize the nation's resources for warfare on a scale that's unimaginable absent a central coercive authority. we're talking total war here, and you can look at any examples in history of what ultimately happens when a centralized state goes up against a non-state society. spoilers, the state wins in the end.

and the zapatistas are a nice model to follow if the extent of your ambitions is to sit in some third-world jungle and pose exactly zero threat to global capitalism, i guess. unfortunately the ruling classes aren't just going to ignore you if you start overthrowing capitalism in the imperial core, but rather they will stomp on you hard and mercilessly and as mentioned you will lose unless you can match the capitalist states in mobilizing your society for war, which you can't as has been demonstrated by literally every anarchist society being stomped down into the mud the moment that they go up against an enemy that actually cares to prosecute a war to the end.

but i guess i'm the bad guy here for not wanting to put us in an already lost position in the name of some ephemereal unity.

President trump was raised attending cult religious services that told him that if you say something over and over again that it will become true. This is him trying to wish Obama falling off the AF1 steps into reality.

Yes, he is that insane


quote:

CROMARTIE: But, you know, he was in a church called the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, which was famous for having a pastor named Norman Vincent Peale.

INSKEEP: OK.

CROMARTIE: Now, Peale was the author of a best-selling book called "The Power Of Positive Thinking." And if Donald Trump grew up in that church - and we don't know how often he went there. His parents went there. If he grew up in that church, and he imbued what Peale taught, it's really about having positive thoughts. Don't have negative thoughts. Be self-confident. Be - don't be self-critical.

It emphasizes the self and not the faith. There's more an emphasis on the self-image, as opposed to God. It emphasizes the repetition of confident phrases. We can see something of the formation of Trump from looking into the life and work of Norman Vincent Peale.

INSKEEP: When you say the repetition of confident phrases, there's the man's rhetorical style in a nutshell, I suppose.

CROMARTIE: Absolutely. And the lack of an ability to be self-critical or to handle criticism - when you're focused constantly on yourself and on having a positive self-image, if you hear negative comments from others - we see what's happened with candidate Trump. He's very sensitive to criticism. And so Peale's whole emphasis was on thinking - that the way you think will govern the way you live.
