    I’m not claiming he denounced his own ideas, but rather the people claiming to represent marxism. I’m not claiming that anyone worshipped Marx, but that they misunderstood his work.

    No, sorry. Claiming that a state can work to not enslave the masses, just because “the right people” are in charge is the actual idealism.

    Your claim about representation is wrong, too. Sorry. Anarchist regions have collapsed due to external military pressure. You should read a book on how well the material conditions improved in Catalonia. Sorry, your claims about anarghist regions failing to improve their material condition runs counter to reality and to the actual Marxist theory (that only the people can free themselves, etc.)

    The whole planned economy was bogus. What do you think a class is?

    Again, you claim that you know anything about anarchist theory and show time and time again that you don’t have the slightest of an idea.

      Yes, all of the Marxists have failed to understand Marx, it is in fact Prunebutt who resurrected Marx and got him to denounce everyone who used his ideas.

      That’s a deeply silly statement, please explain why you think Lenin misunderstood Marx.

      I believe that elected representatives can represent those that elect them if you don’t have Capitalism. Saying you can’t have that and just saying “no, you’re the idealist” is unproductive and goes nowhere.

      Material Conditions did improve in Catalonia! Never said they didn’t, that’s a claim you lied about me saying, though I’ll let it slide this time. A lot did work, but a lack of proper organization led to losing to outside pressure.

      Again, you claim that you know anything about anarchist and Marxist theory and show time and time again that you don’t have the slightest of an idea.

        please explain […]

        No. You’ve shown that you don’t argue in good faith, at least with the paragraph above that request. Good luck with your vanguard strategy.

          I do argue in good faith, this entire time I have asked you to elaborate and you’ve ducked and weaved, now that you can’t duck anywhere else you run.

          Good luck wishing for leftist movement to happen, surely another faithful will make it happen!

            do argue in good faith

            Yes, all of the Marxists have failed to understand Marx, it is in fact *Prunebutt* who resurrected Marx and got him to denounce everyone who used his ideas.

              Am I not allowed to make a joke? Your point was that since Marx dissavowed some self-proclaimed Marxists during his lifetime, that those that followed him and took on the moniker must also not understand his ideas. You have to admit this is silly and not logically supported, right? That’s like saying burgers are chicken sandwiches, because both have meat in buns.

                You are allowed. You overshot and now I don’t want to engage anymore. If you want to discuss, adjust your tone, next time.

              That seems like sarcasm not bad faith, there is a difference.

                  Marx denouncing dogmatism meaning Marx hates MLs is a really incorrect point. You’d have to think MLs are dogmatists to believe it.
