White anarchist stoner with dreads, living up to the stereotype.
Why do anarchists wear dreads?
Hippie flashbacks, western weed culture and generally still in the '68.
I actually HATE hippies. I heard they were radlib reformists. I like weed though.
Yeah hippies were radlibs. And they were far from the worst of that year, in Poland '68 produced some of the worst liberals out there who 20 years later were everywhere destroying socialism and participating in every disaster that befallen the people.
Modern dreadlock guys are mostly about weed, but politically are nearly always radlibs too.
I’ll be honest, i do believe we can achieve a middle ground and unity with anarchists
But THESE anarchists to me are psy ops and/or feds
I don’t really think there’s a “middle ground” to be found, nor would we want one to exist, it would be like the mythical “middle ground” between capitalism and socialism that the socdems are always talking about. And to paraphrase Lenin, unity is a great thing and a fine slogan but what we need is unity between Marxists, not unity with the opponents of Marxism.
What i believe is that we can manage to get many of the honest anarchists (those who are not wreckers and feds) to actually become communists once they grow up a bit and learn how the world works. In the meantime we can work with them on a case by case basis when we engage in direct action, mutual aid, anti-fascist community defense, etc.
I’ve seen some anarchists that are actually very nuanced on MLs, one that even read Stalin and understood us
If we had more anarchists like him he would have no problem.
I’m all about the Mr Rogers approach to Anarchists but the minute they try to convince themselves we are the enemy is where it stops
I keep a personal belief that we can do our part in trying to extend a hand and show ourselves to be good like Lenin showed Kropotkin
Again, anarchism is not a socialist ideology, it’s a selfish, individualistic one, centered either on individual terrorism or pacifist martyrdom.
- 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?

- Aimixin - Why Anarchism is fundamentally anti-socialist.
A wide gulf separates socialism from anarchism, and it is in vain that the agents-provocateurs of the secret police and the news paper lackeys of reactionary governments pretend that this gulf does not exist. The philosophy of the anarchists is bourgeois philosophy turned inside out. Their individualistic theories and their individualistic ideal are the very opposite of socialism. Their views express, not the future of bourgeois society, which is striding with irresistible force towards the socialisation of labour, but the present and even the past of that society, the domination of blind chance over the scattered and isolated small, producer.
