    Anarchy has failed many times as well though? If all you’re looking at is the failures of a system, anarchy has failed more than communism without any of the successes

      Please enlighten us, how exactly does anarchism “fail”?

      Are there no more homeless or did people stop caring for the homeless?

      Is the state now overseeing the relocation of worms off the hot pavement?

      How exactly was the concept of sharing conquered?

      If you plan to pick a flight with a cactus don’t bother aiming for its face.

        sure you can write nonsense but the OP was asserting an idea that because there have been failures attributed to communism that it implies somehow anarchism must be correct. if that is the basis of how one chooses their path to liberation, it wouldn’t really hold up since every historic anarchist attempt at seizing power failed. only communists have seized power and kept it, because only communist theory gives primacy to the material conditions we exist in

          Cuz, I’m gonna be real with you. You’re showing your whole ass rn.

          From the way you’re talking it’s clear you don’t know what anarchism is. You’ve been lied to. Anarchism isn’t some cherry flavored diet Leninism, it’s an entirely different form of scientific socialism. Why don’t you try asking some questions? For example:

          Why aren’t anarchists seizing power?

          What is a “soviet”, and who came up with it?

          What is the anarchist school of Marxist analysis called?

          Why did Lenin name a city after Petyr Kropotikin?

          If you’re truly a materialist like you claim then this should be easy for you.

            Anarchism is not scientific, if you seriously think that you are deluded beyond help. It is inherently idealist and anti-materialist and also predated Leninism. I don’t need to ask questions from some larper on the internet, I’ve been organizing with anarchists for over a decade in the real world. This is why I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that anarchism has achieved nothing of substance and is more often than not a bourgeois counter- revolutionary ideology that serves capital in breeding anti-communism in the counter current.

              Gonna be real with you, I don’t care about changing your mind. You seem aggressively reactionary and ableist, and frankly I think you running around insulting people and telling them anarchism is of the devil is the best free PR we could get.

                you can throw words around without meaning all you want, it seems to be your thing, which makes since considering what you’ve committed yourself to
