He mostly explained how he actually didn't really have a proper grasp of what authority actually means. He conflated them with a lot of things without actually making sense. I'm surprised why "On authority" is so widely known.
He has a great grasp on how often Anarchists operate mainly on vibes, even if in practice when they get into power they still implement some form of authoritarianism, such as the labor camps in Revolutionary Catalonia.
Sorry, but claiming that just shows that someone didn't engage at all with anarchist theory.
Edit - addendum: even if this wasn't true back then in Engel's days: Still quoting him today ignores all that anarchist theory on power that happened since then.
The problem with anarchist theory is that it demonstrably doesn't work. A theory that can't be put into practice is not worth the paper its written on.
Sorry, but you obviously have no idea of modern anarchist theory.
neither do anarchists though, so I don't feel alone in that regard
Wow, sick burn, homie. /s
cope
Have fun doing your idealist vanguard LARP. Thinking that the "right" people in the government will somehow lead to socialism.
Aww somebody's projecting. I love how you deny the reality of socialism that has been achieved in the real world while accusing me of idealism. Peak anarchist logic right there. 🤡
Sorry, we might have a different definition of socialism going on here.
To me, socialism is when the workers ownsthe means of subsistence, not when the government does stuff.
when you definitely understand what a government is
When yod definetly understand how power works.
I do, that's why I don't spew nonsense the way you do.
You would be the first tankie to do so.
Great meme bro. Did Hakim pick that out for you?
That's right, being a foul tankie, I'm completely incapable of independent thought and simply do what my betters tell me like an automaton that I am. Only enlightened dronies are capable of truly independent thinking.
Mfw someone trying to argue that their ideology is better doesn't understand their own ideology, or the idealist/dialectical materialist split, lmao
Authcoms have failed to realize that anarchism is materialist at least since Stalin.
Please share an explicitly diamat anarchist text from the pre-kruschev era
it's so materialist that the only thing it managed to produce in the past century is a lot of hot air
Dead and buried.
