    But let’s presume that it is, as a thought experiment - what so we need to do create the conditions for that median person to achieve a high degree of politicization?

    Imo we would need to do away with capitalism and colonialism, we obviously would need to have a revolution to achieve that, we would need to defend the revolution, we would need to fundamentally change how work functions so that they have enough free time for their political development, and we might just need to wait until we are a couple of generations on from that person because culture changes slowly and often people get very set in their ways that makes it very hard to get them to budge.

    I think some anarchists recognise that it is easier to radicalise, agitate and politicise people under capitalism than it is under socialism and this leads them to believing that socialism is a greater enemy to their project than capitalism because it’s easier to grow anarchist numbers under it.

      That’s a really interesting perspective and it’s a very dialectical take on something that I haven’t considered before. I’m gonna need to turn this over in my mind.

        To add, there’s also anarchists that believe that socialism is good, just not good enough, and thus advocate for anarcho-pacifism within socialism and standard violent revolutionary anarchism within capitalism, including critical support for socialist revolution if that pans out. We can see the latter in practice with the red anarchists in the Russian Civil War that joined the red army.

          Definitely. I know that likewise, personally, if shit was kicking off and it was being led by anarchists while the communist movements were languishing or being counterrevolutionary then I wouldn’t hesitate to throw my support behind the anarchists.

          I don’t care about my position being vindicated or having “my team” win; stopping the rising tide of fascism and overthrowing capitalism are so much more important to me than ideological distinctions.
