    Okay, so, the end result of inspiring people means that their political project succeeded? Their end goal was to inspire people? I thought their end goal was a classless, stateless society?

      right, but since we (they) eschew(ed) prefigurative theories, we (they) only organized to fight. the actual structure of society is up to the people who live in the world that we (they) make possible.

        Okay, so would you agree that they failed at forming a classless, stateless society?

              plainly, I’d say it’s state repression. they struck fear in their hearts in the state struck back.

                That’s incredibly unspecific, repression is one of the main things states do and is a broad category.

                  they were hunted down and framed for crimes. they were executed. they were exiled.

                    I feel like they probably shouldn’t have done those things then, if they weren’t able to sustain themselves in the face of that sort of state repression like communists could.
