that wasn't their only goal, but it was one of them.
1 1 ReplyOurToothbrush @lemmy.ml Okay, so would you agree that they failed at forming a classless, stateless society?

i'd say they haven't succeeded yet.
1 1 ReplyOurToothbrush @lemmy.ml Okay, and why haven't they succeeded yet?

plainly, I'd say it's state repression. they struck fear in their hearts in the state struck back.
1 1 ReplyOurToothbrush @lemmy.ml That's incredibly unspecific, repression is one of the main things states do and is a broad category.

they were hunted down and framed for crimes. they were executed. they were exiled.
1 1 ReplyOurToothbrush @lemmy.ml I feel like they probably shouldn't have done those things then, if they weren't able to sustain themselves in the face of that sort of state repression like communists could.

I know you disagree with anarchist tactics. That's what our whole discussion is about.
1 1 ReplyOurToothbrush @lemmy.ml Do you not also disagree with those tactics, given how spectacularly they've failed to amount to anything material?

no. I think they could have won 100 years ago and I think they could win tomorrow. I like the tactic. people can be inspired and it can happen in an instant.
