  • That’s a strict Engelsian application of the term. Maybe i should’ve used idealistic. Particularly in reference to this portion of their comment:

    Anarchism requires belief in people. That whatever system they come up with will work and compliment others who will be able to build their own systems: Economic, social or political.

    Also i think it’s best if Marxists abandon this framing:

    feudalism gave way to capitalism which gives way to socialism which gives way to communism due to the unfolding of dialectical processes and relationships

    It sounds teleological and gave rise to the many erroneous anarchist critiques we’re now dealing with. You can say that the internal contradictions that capitalism present create the possibility for socialism, but that by no means guarantees it


  • Anarchism regulates them by using social pressure.

    That’s what all post-capitalist forms of socioeconomic organization aim to do anyways, so it is a necessary step

    I was referring to this part of your comment:

    As more and more anarchist systems start popping up (although this is probably never going to happen) this would transform to a more independent/self-sustaining system. But what that system looks like doesn’t really matter, because whatever it is will be determined by the ones who make it.

    I don’t want to speak on whether anarchism as a concept is possible or not—it can be depending on material realities—I’m more speaking to your concept of “that system will be established if and when more anarchies pop up (which you’re skeptical of yourself)”. So my question is this:

    What’s to be done in the interim? You’ve acknowledged that multiple anarchic communes are highly unlikely to spring up anytime soon, so how do you get there?

    What exactly are you advocating for really?
