A better question is why you contest obvious stuff like "2+2=4", "sky is blue", "moon is not made of cheese" and "Orwell was anti-Communist".
Yep.
Out of existing to date. A case can be made about Cuba, but they simply don't have the industrial capacity to take off.
Is there something Anarchists wouldn't call "authoritarian state"? Other than totally-not-state of Catalonia, of course.
If Anarchists aren't in charge, any organization of society instantly becomes "government does stuff".
Why do you think Orwell was an anti-communist? Do you actually think that opposing Stalinism is the same as opposing communism?
Yes but you do admit that it was flawed, and that there were valid criticisms of it from a leftist perspective correct? And that it was therefore possible to be both anti-Stalinist and a communist simultaneously right?
I’m not an anarchist and neither was Orwell. Also pointing out that “all societies are authoritarian” is idiotic. Of course all societies rely on violence to some degree, but they are different in the scope, target, and method of its application. Comparing two states that are radically different in this regard and saying that they are “both authoritarian” is beyond stupid.
Also the statement that “all politics is the imposition of violence of one class over another” and the implication that this is inherently authoritarian erases the fundamental difference between the violence of the oppressor and that of the oppressed. Read Fanon ffs. Calling the violence of the oppressed that is carried out in pursuit of liberation “authoritarian” basically makes the word meaningless. Which doesn’t surprise me given that you people love to use this as an excuse to justify why so many ML experiments failed to secure the goal of socialism: the universal liberation of humanity.
This is what Zig Forums tells themselves they need to believe
I’m not sure how this relates to my post.
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it."
