I realized a while ago the only reason these kids constantly (try to) debunk On Authority is because it’s the shortest piece on anarchism they can find by a reputable Marxist and they will be damned before they read anything longer than a few pages.
Have you actually read it, and if so, what are your actual thoughts on it? If it is genuinely the “worst drivel ever written” it should be easy to show us all why that is.
And even if we don’t listen to you, at least passive observers in this thread will be able to see you making cogent and interesting arguments and think your position has merit. Declaring something is bad while also showing that you don’t seem to have actually read it just makes you come across to people as smug and ignorant. And saying “no u” when called out on this just makes you look worse, don’t you want to put us dumb tankies in our place by showing us that you know what you’re talking about and we don’t?
Ok, since you aren’t interested in debate, we don’t need to do anything like that. That’s fine, I don’t really want to debate this topic either.
It is a shame that when I ask about your thoughts about this work, your response is to provide someone else’s thoughts on it. You’re really not beating any allegations that you haven’t actually read it and that you aren’t just hating on it because others have told you to do so.
Seriously, it’s extremely short. It’s barely over a thousand words. If you’ve read through this entire comment thread you’ve probably read more than this entire work. I’m not asking you to agree with me or make any sort of big life change or anything, but please, just read it and form your own opinions, you don’t need to share them if you don’t want to, but I do want you to think for yourself and make up your own mind. https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm
EDIT: Holy shit, this guy actually ran away to his own instance to cry about the evil tankies talking about a fucking thousand word pamphlet he’s too scared to read and form his own opinion on. I think this might actually be the most pathetic loser on the fedverse. Also I recognise them now, they’re the same loser who loves abusing the idea of disengaging when they realise they’re showing their whole ass in a discussion. So not just a loser, but also toxic and abusing a system designed to help people with triggers and mental health issues too!

Imagine thinking “on authority” is actually a good argument. The worst drivel ever written. Deeply unserious…
Maybe if I act smug enough, no one will notice that I haven’t actually read the work that I have been trained to hate.
