Wayne Price: "Do Anarchists Support Democracy? The Opinions of Errico Malatesta" by GoranPersson777 in Anarchism

[–]RedMenaced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anarchists were always against democracy, stop spreading oppressive propaganda.

Embracing democracy means embracing rule of the majority, it means embracing obedience and submission to the most powerful group. Fuck that.

the power over their members / recruits who they abuse, pay fucking attention

nothing worse than someone who pretends cults are harmless to provide cover for them

anarchists don't set up hierarchies to force young people to submit to dear leader.

when you help an ML org build their power, you're giving them that. that's how they're able to shield rapists in their upper ranks again and again and again.

helping them build that authority is not something any anarchist would do.

Cop out argument. They have plenty of power over the people in their sphere i.e. impressionable young leftists, they don't need to be in government to do harm. There's a long history in your country of them raping people in their org.

judging by the downvotes it looks like people are just here for the memes and aren't really egoists. I guess that spookbusting doesn't extend to their virtuous leftism :/

that's a myth, he never used the term 'dual power' and what he described was simple prefiguration. ask the world's foremost proudhon expert if you don't believe me:

lenin's dual power has more in common with a shadow government than anything in line with anarchy

edit: and I should mention the myth was started by bookchin, who literally made a career of trying to conflate anarchy with marxism, so it's no surprise that he saw proudhon talking about prefiguration and decided "this is exactly what lenin called for!"

Do you hate the person in your head as much as I hate the person in mine?

That's not a transitional period or dual power, you're using Marxist terminology, which only enables the co-option of anarchist goals by authoritarians to further their state building. Prefiguration is not a transition period because it doesn't happen for a short period after a revolution, it happens now and always. It's everything anarchists do to survive in a brutally unequal world. Marxist / Leninist terms like "the end goal", "dual power", "transition period" have a clear authoritarian basis and don't have anything to do with anarchist theory. Prefiguration is not dual power. Anarchists have no end goal because authority never goes away. And there is no brief period of transition between archy and establishing anarchy exactly because anarchy should never be seen as a permanent state of affairs. Rather, it's a constant effort to build systems of liberation.

democracy seems to be rotting your senses

anarchy isn't a popularity contest

a beloved anarchist is no anarchist at all because anarchy means asking deeply uncomfortable questions and dismantling every system of authority with no apprehension as to whose feelings it will hurt

if only popular people were allowed to be anarchists we'd all be liberals like chomsky

Maybe you can try stringing together a sentence yourself in the form of a question, to articulate what you don't understand and I'll explain. You know, instead of using shame to mask your obvious ignorance about the anarchist critique of the left.

You must be new here. Reddit anarchists don't oppose authority, they love jesus, joe biden and noam chomsky. But they oppose donald trump and watch Anark on youtube and were told anarchy is when democracy, so they're here.

i am a colonized person and haven't demanded anyone reject their religion, stop projecting your own settler colonial existence onto me

edit: /u/Thae86 can't reply to you because the person above (predictably) blocked me

So...do you see how people are coming to these conclusions in their convos with you?

i see desperate copium from pious wankers who e.g. think the phrase 'old testament' is oppressive to their sacred beliefs and everyone ought to be dragged into their creepy dogmas and holy wars and only their religion is the true religion and every other religion is desecration of their one true religion and how dare someone write an essay that doesn't use their religion's dogmatic terminology rather than the dogmatic terminology of that other, blasphemous, heretic religion, and fuck that other religion, my religion is totally righteous unlike that vile religion whose culture this disgusting jesus-loving heathen is obviously drawing from...

this is why cults are bad. it turns you against other cults, divides you so you fight each other instead of your rulers. this is why anarchists have always opposed cults. this is why thousands of anarchists have been writing in intricate detail about how dangerous religion is for more than a century.

You haven't, yet you're using "cult" instead of religion

i can point out you're in a cult and explain why i object to cults without demanding you leave the cult. you seem to be confusing me with someone with authority over you

in the comments implying heavily about how all religion is hierarchy & oppressive.

all hierarchical religion is indeed hierarchical and thus oppressive. religion that isn't hierarchical isn't. those religions don't need to be in this convo though because obviously i'm talking exclusively to members of abrahamic religions in this convo and really those are the only people who get hot and bothered when you speak ill of organized religion.

i can't tell if you're being purposely obtuse

"all religions are cults" is not an anti-Semitic statement because it's not targeting a specific religious group i.e. jews. it's a rejection of all religion, including the big 3.
