You’ll see anarchists praising Rosa Luxemburg, who if they had actually read her writings – they would see that she was very clearly one of the “authoritarian” socialists that they rail against so much.

You see them praise the Black Panthers, who were supported financially by the DPRK and aligned themselves with the Juche ideology of Kim Il Sung.

They even praise Thomas Sankara, who purged anarchists and arrested syndicalists.

If these people had succeeded, i have no doubt in my mind that anarchists would call them “tankies,” they would call their experiments “capitalism with a red flag.” And I also have no doubt in my mind that if the October Revolution, Chinese Revolution had been crushed, they would hail Lenin and Mao as proletarian heroes.

    they do have a state, though.

    and they use this state to enforce their laws, such as their total ban on alcohol and smoking, which (correct me if im wrong) is not usually considered an anarchist principle

    edit: bruh they deleted all their comments

      Yeah. I’m not doing this today so, I’m not gonna post any more actual arguments. I’m a trans woman less than 2 months out of surgery. I’m busy doing post surgical care. Posting in here at all was a mistake borne of my eternal frustration with being ridiculed by people who claim to support my political ideology.

      I’m not here to engage any further on it. Have a good day.
