    I think they’d tolerate them the same way some of us organizational anarchists tolerate some of the anarcho-punks. There are plenty of people within leftist spaces that are somewhat on the right track, but get sidetracked with petty grievances and “wishy-washy” (vague) vibes based politics. I use anarcho-punks as an example, because I’ve met plenty of people who call themselves anarchist, but don’t care much about socialist organizing (or any organizing for that matter) and kind of just think we can slacktivist our way out of fascism. Of course, like the lemmy “tankies”, these people make up a tiny minority, and don’t effect political progress at all, negative or positive effect.


  • Notice how the contributions these Anarchists made don’t end up in -isms. Anarchist theory is important, because you’re building this malleable theory that can adapt and change depending on the material conditions of regions and eras. When you look at the progression of Marxism to Marxism-Leninism to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism it’s basically just “Yea, what the last guy said, but now me!”





  • Capitalism is inherently incompatible with statelessness. You need some kind of police or military force to enforce private property and contracts. In anarcho-capitalism, that force doesn’t disappear. Those with more money would be able to buy more protection, better courts, and stronger enforcement, they would increasingly turn wealth directly into power.

    What we understand as a corporation today wouldn’t vanish without the state; it would reappear as large, hierarchical firms held together by contracts, private security, and internal command structures. In practice, these would look less like free associations and more like dictatorial private governments, exercising control over workers and communities without even minimal public accountability.

    Removing legal tender laws or corporate charters doesn’t eliminate capitalism’s core dynamics: private ownership of productive resources, wage labor, and profit extraction. Anarcho-capitalism keeps those intact while stripping away any collective checks on them. From an anarchist anti-capitalist perspective, that’s not anarchism, thats straight up the replacement of public authority with unaccountable private power.











  • That’s a very thoughtful thought! Here’s what I thought you could think about when these thoughtful thoughts come up:

    · Thoughts help thinking brain go poo poo every
    · Sometimes brain say “hmm” but actually “yikes”
    · When idea go bonk against skull wall, that’s innovation
    · Overthinking is just cardio for neurons
    · Deep philosophical questions like “Why am I?” and “How?” share 87% of the same ingredients
    · If you can’t stop thinking, try unplugging brain and plugging it back in (this is also called “a nap”)

    This right here. The problem is tankies don’t like to admit there’s other philosophies WITHIN communism (council communism, anarcho-communism (which are basically the same fucking thing but no one realizes cause they only read the first page of das Kapital and nothing else)).

    I should also distinguish between tankies and MLs before this instance dogpiles me calling me a liberal. Literally every ML I’ve met in real life understands the theory behind anarchism and I’ve had some great talks with them. It’s just this theory of leaderlessness comes off shaky to most. Meanwhile online ML who do no organizing, attend no protests and spend all their lives complaining online are the ones thinking this meme is the most hilarious shit. I believe this kind of behaviour to be exclusively online.
