Western Anarchism
(for clarity, even though it kills jokes, I mean the Anarchists from western countries who live comfortable lives, and just spout neoliberal and anti-communist bullshit but under the guise of “fighting against the system”. Most other forms of Anarchism are valid, and IMO worth researching as Communists)
There are no other forms of anarchism, they’re all petty-bourgeois leftists who want to make a change without any studying of history nor science.
Can you elaborate on why and give some examples of how anarchists are like this?
The one on tanks here is particularly relevant:
- What’s the difference between anarchism and communism?
- What’s the difference in economic structure ( production and distribution) of anarchism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, and Marxist communism?
- Parenti on Anarcho-Syndicalism / Worker-Coops.
- TheDashRendar - Where do tanks come from? How anarchists vs marxists wage warfare.
- Comrade Hakim - On the difference betweeen “liberatarian” and “authoritarian” socialism.
- Huey P. Newton on the faults of western anarchism.
- What is the communist response to a lot of Anarchist criticisms? A Megathread.
- The tyranny of structurelessness - The failure of anarchist-style organizing in the womens movement.
At the moment I count myself to be anarchist but I am pretty open minded, thanks for the reading material
No probs :)
So I read the tankie one and it makes very valid points about anarchisms weekness at succeding in revolution and I agree, I think ML or others would be better at achieving revolution and that anarchists should join then because any revolution against capitalism is good(I believe in left unity against capitalism), and that ML is much more practical for revolution but anarchism or a similar non authoritarian or at least voluntary non coersive authoritarian society is an ideal to be worked towards
Anarchists have issued a thorough rebuttal here.
Good shit.
