It honestly feels like this is a cheap rhetorical dismissal because you don’t want to compare what the actual material benefits of socialist revolutions are vs anarchist revolutions.
that's not what you proposed to use as a metric. i'm not sure how to quantify them and, frankly, or what a good measure would be, i guess.
i do know that i don't trust anyone else to decide how i keep myself fed and safe. given the choice in constructing a revolution, i would empower individuals to a maximum degree and destroy concentrations of power wherever they're found.

Thats some right libertarian hyper-individualist hogwash. Stop being alienated from your fellow workers.

So, let's say the workers form Soviets. Those Soviets have to be destroyed, right?

it is going to depend, isn't it? are the soviets operated with consent and consensus?
i already explained i have no illusions that i can dictate what it's going to look like after the revolution. i do know what i won't tolerate.

So? It's not like you've got consensus authority to destroy them. Though it does sound like you would try to anyway

Is this material to whether the soviet is concentrating power? Either way you have a small group of people making legislative and executive actions.

a system that operates with consent and consensus has no authority.
1 2 ReplyOkay, you need to actually define authority, because I feel like each anarchist I've encountered has a different definition.
2 0 ReplyI know this was lazy. but I think it's good enough.
edit: oh. this is a bit better

i have no problem working with my neighbors. i have big problems with someone tellingme how we should do that.
1 2 ReplyYou don't seem to have any problems telling them how they should do it though.
2 0 Replyif we're working together I'm going to say how I think we should work.
1 2 ReplyAnd I'm going to tell you you're wrong. And then I'm going to find people who actually want to change the status quo for the better to work together with.
2 0 Replyimplying that I don't want to change the status quo doesn't change whether I do.
1 2 ReplyYou don't though. You want perfection, and you oppose any change that is merely for the better.
2 0 ReplyYou're starting to sound like the liberals that tell me to vote for Biden.
1 1 ReplyIf you have zero reading comprehension, I suppose. Literacy is authoritarian after all.

I'm the authority on what I want. there's no evidence that you could produce that would undercut my claim.
1 2 ReplyI didn't consent to you having that authority, tankie.
1 0 Replythis is some equivocation. it's an informal fallacy you might want to look up.
