        Wait did you not know about the anarcho-communists doing labor camps?

        My point is that authoritarian is a useless word. Anarchists accuse left wingers of being authoritarian and then do the exact same thing with a different name. Just accept that some parts of revolution are gonna suck and gonna have excesses.

            I don’t think you’re going to find it easy to convince a Marxist to become an Anarchist by linking Anarchist theory.

              Not theory, refutation of the bullshit that anarchism necessitates forced labor. I don’t care what that poster thinks, I care that readers aren’t misled.

                That is theory, what are you talking about?

                Their point wasn’t that Anarchism necessitates forced labor, but that historically Anarcho-Communists have employed Labor Camps, such as in Revolutionary Catalonia.

                Examples are mentioned in With the Peasants of Aragon.

                They are making the point that Anarchists are more than willing to be authoritarian when it benefits them and is immediately practical, despite cloaking themselves in an “anti-authority” robe, historically.

                  Rich for Marxists to throw out “anarchism has never worked when tried” lol. (Also isn’t true, see link).

                  But granted, maybe there’s a more charitable interpretation of their comments.
