Anarchists have consistently been the only political faction to attain socialism, unlike MLs.
Whether or not the USSR funded them has nothing to do with factory ownership.
If you want to take it back far enough, you yourself are the only one holding YOU back. You could pick up a gun and do your best to live anti-capitalist-ly, robbing corporations for food and luxuries and fighting the police. Marxies look at this self-emancipation and call them "lifestyleism/"lumpenprole" but that's a butthurt excuse to not take their destiny into their own hands. As Saint Max assures us,
"The laborers have the most enormous power in their hands, and, if they once became thoroughly conscious of it and used it, nothing would withstand them; they would only have to stop labor, regard the product of labor as theirs, and enjoy it. This is the sense of the labor disturbances which show themselves here and there. The State rests on the — slavery of labor. If labor becomes free. the State is lost."
Marxies-Lennies will bitch & moan about this being some important-sounding marxist buzzword for "I don't like thing" but anarchists stress self-liberation and immediatism because there is a point; if EVERYONE did was Stirner did we would have communism already. MLs are busy asking themselves "what's the safest, cushiest way to go about revolution?" in short, they want a revolution without a revolution. "I'm not afraid of violence, but I'm afraid of getting hurt." Their response is to sit back and wait for a worker's party or some crap to rise up and organize for them, anarchists are busy organizing themselves. The point to be made here is clear,
Even if you can't save everyone, at least save yourself.
