Western Anarchist: The real problem right now is that Communists will kill us
I refuse to believe any infighting like this, before even 1% of socialism has been achieved, isn’t fedposting. We can discuss whatever, but why have a real fight about the kind of socialism before we escape the concentration camp? There’s just no good reason.
If the standard of success is the maintenance of a state then anarchism will by definition never succeed. But if the standard of success is making the world better then you will need to change your perspective to be able to see the work of anarchists.
Our motto is security culture. If there were big glaring examples to point to then we wouldn’t exactly be good anarchists. ;p
I’m not talking of ‘state maintenance’ or QoL or whatever. I mean in terms of progressing western society out of its current fascist state, which I very much believe to be a fundamental part of achieving basically any definition of socialism and/or anarchism (beyond tiny communes). It seems like Fascism/Capitalism has as strong a hold as it ever did, and any slow crumbling its doing is just from its inherent contradictions.
I can point to nothing at all that suggests any leftists are making steady progress to actual change.
Do we all not share the largest hurdle of achieving any meaningful societal progress - booting our current fascistic societal structure to the curb?
All Western Leftists: Achieve literally nothing

What do you mean by “Literally nothing”?
