I am an anarchist. But I am not an asshole, I would like to understand why some communists are so hostile against anarchist and why some anarchist are so hostile toward communism.

I don’t understand that. There are a lot of common ways of doing things between anarchists and communism and we both have the goal.

It can seem like a very stupid post, but I am really trying to understand :)

    I don’t think I agree with this opinion. Objectivity and subjectivity exist in dialectical unity and employing only one of these in any analyses will ultimately lead you to an incomplete worldview and praxis. Both are necessary.

    “For this individual the subjective aspect exists only in relation to the objective aspect (the concrete reality, which is the object of analysis). Subjectivity and objectivity thus join in a dialectical unity producing knowledge in solidarity with action, and vice versa.” - Paulo Freire in Pedagogy of the Oppressed

        Subjectivity will always be subordinate to objectivity

        Yeah I definitely agree with you here, the universe is objective and from that material reality people have their own subjective experiences. As I said, they both exist in dialectical unity. So because they both exist in this way, you absolutely can’t ignore subjectivity when engaging in solidarity with others and analyzing their material reality. You’d wouldn’t be getting the full picture of how their objective reality interacts with their subjective experiences and vice versa.
