But what if an autonomous firm decides they don't agree with this? Again anarchy depends on everyone already agreeing and being chill to function.

Hierarchy isn't the same as distinct classes, this is just ridiculous. How does your federalism eliminate these artificial divisions? I gave you a concrete example, if you can use that example to explain to me how your federalism functions differently from regular federalism that would be helpful.

Workers*

what if the worker at an autonomous factory decided that they have a right to dump waste in the river or dump as much CO2 into the air as they please even if that goes against the democratic will of the other people who are affected by this?

-bourgeois ideology (liberalism) and the individualism that proliferates from it. A good example of why federalism is undemocratic is one I touched on earlier;

What classes? Yes there's a contradiction between the state and the masses, but that doesn't make them another class. Federalism is an incomplete form of democracy. While in many ways it was a qualitative leap in our understanding of democracy it's inseparable from-

Happy to 👍

I don't think they should have combined the unions with the state, but this was before our scientific understanding of capitalist restoration and the necessity of a cultural revolution was understood. Seeing as the Soviet Union was the first socialist state and didn't have the benefit of hindsight.

They integrated the committees with the state, which was good, committees shouldn't function outside of the party, it would be an infringement of democracy for the entire country to allow these to be autonomous.

They didn't win with direct action in the simple terms you say, they won through building concrete proletarian power, through the Bolshevik minimum program and duel power. The Soviet peoples objectively had more control over their workplace than ever before in human history.

K, if there's an international revolution I'll eat crow and say you were right, till that happens I'm going to stick to what the science of revolution has already confirmed. What new kinds of exploitation? Certainly nothing that hasn't happened in any anarchist state.

I don't think the proletariat revolution will be international, experience has taught us this is an impossibility. But abolishing money and wage labor will need to be an international project between proletarian states

Because you can't just abolish wage labor in one country, this is an infantile critique.

Why is ancap an oxymoron? If you just mean it's a silly ideology then yes I agree.

Incorrect, they voted for managers. Yes production functioned under a planned economy that dictated what a given industry needed to produce for the good of the nation rather than profit, but to take issue with this is to expose the fact that anarcho-capitalism is the only honest form of anarchy

Russia, China and Romania, I'm sure there were other socialist experiments that probably gave workers a degree of democracy over the workplace, but those three are the only ones that actually achieved socialism for any period of time and can be considered socialist states.

Because they're puppets of imperial empires. Without western backing israel would collapse within a year

Every socialist state has given workers democracy over the workplace. Yes there are laws that concern the workplace like making sure that industries dont poison the environment. A concern that anarchist radical individualism can't really seem to address. Yall seem to think everyone will just be cool

Yeah in the west it seems like most Marxist start out as anarchists, I definitely did, and most of the people I organize with did as well. You have to peel away the layers of propaganda

Is he still a thing? Dude has more staying power than I expected tbh

Nothing. They've always stood for nothing. They're just another bourgeois party, their only virtue is keeping the profits coming in for rich folks.

This was always going to happen btw. For any liberals that are concerned by the trend of more and more oppressed peoples being thrown under the bus by Democrats every election cycle, just know that all of you are completely disposable by the Democratic party. Only militant organizing can save us.

Flat earth theory has more credibility than hasbara at this point

A snip from the RedFish documentary "Inside the New People's Army" (2018) where a person with a blurred face says, "Gays must be militant, serving the people."

For a second I thought it said Aspergers festival

I bet he doesn't even uphold Gonzalo thought

South Africa election set to end three decades of ANC dominance South Africa was set to end three decades of dominance by the party that freed it from apartheid on Saturday, as voters angry at joblessness, inequality and power shortages slashed the vote share of the African National Congress (ANC) to 40%.

The ANC is a great example of how capitulation can only lead to failure

Yeah pretty annoying how the media tried to "wokeify" him for so long, he's just as committed to a feudal ideology as all the others

Truly a man of the people

Almost like seeing the inherent violence of the zionists settler project on full display has radicalized people into supporting Arab liberation movements

Like I said, voting in the short term is fine as long as it doesn't interfere with movement and dual power structure building, the problem is it usually does; by design.
