i am not very fond of anarchism as an ideology. It just cant function without contradicting its own principles…How in a revolution, or US intervention would strategic decisions be made? You cant just make everyone elect some shit every few hours during a war without somebody having to make decisions for other people. Or production? If you would like to have a car, or a house or whatever, you would need to ask hundreds of people for consent to produce the needed commodities as there is no state that regulates what and how much one should work…that would take a fucking long time which in return means not everyone gets to be supplied their needs. Anarchism is just not something you can achieve directly after a revolution, it needs to be gradual, when imperialist forces and other capitalist threats are annihilated, global socialism can deregulate its state-functions and transfer piece for piece more power to the people.

    I don’t believe anarchism is viable before communism.

    Your critiques of anarchism, however, are terrible. They are mostly strawman arguments.

    Anarchism does have mechanisms for warfare that work. They do have mechanisms for production that work. What they don’t have are mechanisms to prevent warlordism.
