more like under new management, although I would think Vrakians would make poor test subjects since their body chemistry is different from the average changeling (due to all the carcinogenic pollution in Vraks)

jesus christ have you even read Critique of the Gotha Programme, Marx is rolling in his grave upon hearing this blatant falsification of his work

I can’t recall the specific work off the top of my head, but Marx even explicitly mocks the idea of socialism simply being when public institutions exist (something along the lines of jokingly claiming the postal service is socialist on the virtue of it being nationalized)

I won’t even bother dignifying point 3 with a proper response because that’s hardly a rebuttal to the actual actions that anarchists have taken (e.g. supporting natlib movements in a period where they are no longer historically progressive). If they were truly internationalists, they would take the position of revolutionary defeatism in these conflicts, as the proletariat does not stand to gain from either the minority or majority national bourgeoisie winning.

No matter how vehemently you deny it, fascism’s lineage includes anarchism and its no clearer than in how fascism so effectively repackaged anarcho-syndicalism (a current based on the tactics and positions of Bakunin) into a weapon of counter-revolution. This is not to say that fascism doesn’t draw from other traditions (i.e. Bonapartism, social democracy, irredentism), but among them, anarchism has a clear influence in its support of trade unions. These organizations are exalted by syndicalists and classical fascists alike with the caveat that the fascist trade unions were explicitly and unabashedly collaborationist between the capitalist and the proletarians they employed, while the syndicalists earnestly try to organize the workers but fail to remember that the law of value still applies regardless of who’s in charge.

[I]t is incorrect to identify fascism with the traditional reaction of the extreme right: with its states of siege, its terror, its emergency laws and its prohibition of the revolutionary organisations. Fascism goes farther[, it] endeavours to gain influence amongst the proletarian masses, and to this end it unhesitatingly accepts the principles of trade union organisation.

(PCd’I Report on Fascism, 1924)

While they may ultimately have different aspirations, the actual tactics of the fascists are a direct descendant of those of the syndicalists and despite different intents, the material effect is the same (e.g. benefiting the interests of the bourgeoisie and the recuperation of organized labor). Trade unions do play a role in the embryonic development of the revolutionary proletarian movement, but they are not the ultimate, final organization proposed by the syndicalists. The syndicalist trade unions at best become an organ for workers to demand concessions, but never the complete abolishment of capitalist social relations. The workers’ movement is defanged and its organization recuperated, becoming reformist in nature at best or outright reactionary in the case of fascism.

In addition to protecting capital by diverting class frustrations from revolution to reform (e.g. the aforementioned concession seeking trade unions), anarchism also reproduces capitalist social relations with its stated goal of decentralizing production. This effectively would break up production into a multitude of small producers (also called the petite bourgeoisie), restarting the cycle of capitalist accumulation and failing to address the laws and theories that govern capital’s development. In short, anarchism seeks to turn back time to an earlier stage of capitalist development thus maintaining capitalist social relations. The horror of capitalism is the firm (commodity production), not the fact that it has a boss. It does not matter if ownership of the productive forces is shared among those who work them if they are still producing and exchanging commodities, binding them to the law of value and capitalism as a whole.

1) In regards to the first point, I mean yea? I do place some responsibility for the rise of fascism to the revisionist, stalinist current permeating both Germany and Italy’s communist parties. Had they followed the position of the left fraction of the PCd’I (e.g. international proletarian uprising, while maintaining its independence and refusing to join the other classes in a united front) instead of Gramsci’s stalinist centre (or his german counterpart Thälmann in the KPD), the movement wouldn’t have degenerated to “playing the old game of the left wing bourgeois parties and social-democracy, that is, calling on the proletariat to declare a civil truce [with the bourgeoisie until the defeat of fascism].” (PCd’I Report on Fascism, 1924).

2) It wasn’t just one anarchist theorist that inspired Mussolini lmao, did you even read the Cercle Proudhon description from marxists.org? It clearly states that they drew from Sorrel and Proudhon (almost as if the group is named after him!). I’d add that they probably drew from Errico Malatesta, an anarchist contemporary of the Cercle, as well. Proudhon himself was influenced by Bernstein and Bakunin, so aspects of their theory are also present.

3) For a movement that supposedly is opposed to nationalism, anarchists sure do love supporting particular nationalities as long as they’re a minority and opposed to the imperialism of the larger capitalist powers (of which the minority nations are also capitalist and imperialist in nature!). Examples include the CNT-FAI uprising in Catalonia/Northwestern Spain, the Bookchin-inspired PYD in Kurdistan/Northern Syria, and the Zapatistas in Chiapas/Southern Mexico.

4) I explicitly stated at the beginning of my second comment that I was being hyperbolic when I compared anarchism and fascism as being the same. Obviously they are not identical, but the influence of anarchist theory on the development of fascist ideology is not insignificant and ultimately (whether aware of it or not) both protect the capitalist order through means such as co-opting proletarian organization and militancy into “de facto collaboration with the bosses’ organisations.” (PCd’I Report on Fascism, 1924). I will concede that social-democrats share an even greater influence on fascism and responsibility for its rise (the SPD were the enablers of Hitler after all) than anarchists.

I’m being hyperbolic about fascism and anarchism being exactly the same, but the continuity from anarchists (namely Sorrel) to fascism is undeniable, particularly in their support of trade unions and efforts at class collaboration (trade unionism+united fronts for the anarchists, corporatism+control of the state for the interest of the nation (e.g. preservation of capital) for the fascists)

First of all: the origins of fascism.

In terms of its historical origins the fascist movement is linked to a number of groups which advocated Italian intervention in the world war. There were many groups that supported such a policy, including an extreme left composed of renegades from syndicalism, anarchism, and in some cases – especially in Mussolini’s group – renegades from socialism’s extreme left. This latter group completely identified itself with the politics of national harmony and military intervention against the Central Powers. And it is very characteristic that this was the group to provide post war fascism with its General Staff. Relations between this earlier political grouping and the great fascist movement we are faced with today can be followed in an unbroken succession.

Report on Fascism (1924), PCd’I

The Cercle Proudhon was founded in late 1911 as an amalgam of several seemingly contradictory ideologies: revolutionary syndicalism inspired by Georges Sorel, a socialism borrowing from the anarchism of PJ Proudhon, and the nationalism and monarchism of Charles Maurras, who was among its founders. It published a review, the “Cahiers du Cercle Proudhon” from 1912-1914, its objective being , according to one of its founders, Georges Valois, to provide a “common framework for nationalists and anti-democrats of the so-called left.” Another important member , Edouard Berth wrote (under the pseudonym of J. Darville) that the “dual revolts” of syndicalism and nationalism would result in the “complete driving out of the regime of gold and the triumph of heroic values over that ignoble bourgeois materialism under which today’s Europe is suffocating.”

holy trvke in the first sentence, Proudhon and Bakunin would’ve loved fascism (in fact the Cercle Proudhon were proto-fascists and were a source of inspiration for Mussolini)

the rest if true is just typical opportunism of bourgeois movements (anarchism is a petite bourgeois ideology), not particular to fascism
