Ok, so I’m gonna get some downvotes from this, but I think of the Anarchists as allies, not as enemies. The longer Marxists and Anarchists bicker about which type of socialism is best, the stronger the bourgeoisie gets. If we want to overthrow the bourgeoisie, Marxists and Anarchists need to band together, not bicker. The true enemy is not the Anarchist. The true enemy is the capitalist.

            For a second I thought Viki was some random, niche Marxist, but apparently they’re just a Youtuber? What are they basing their thoughts off of? Some particular Marxist scholars, or?

              I don’t really know, I just know they describe themselves as a Marxist, and I agree with them on a lot of stuff.

                Another question, have you yourself personally read Marxist literature, like that of Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Che, etc.?

                    No problem, luckily the other day I made this comment with some texts that I think are fantastic introductions to Marxism. Most of the texts I link are short, but they’re all very good, plus you have all of Lemmygrad to ask questions to.

                Getting your theory from youtubers, is like trying to learn physics from a 6 year old. If you want to call yourself a Marxist, you must read theory, esp those works recommended by other comrades.
