Kinda sucks that this artist (Red and Black Salamander) never grew past their 2018 Bernie left phase, I used to like their stuff.
Yep, I think anarchists have definitely nailed down the street politics that the communists have lost over the past century. Any socialist movement in the west will rely heavy anarchist organizing for conflict and radicalized trade unions that will probably end up shifting more towards what we'd call ML though likely in a newer form.
The old divides are gone, AES has shown a thousand possible pathways to development and maintenance of a revolutionary state and in the end whatever happens will inevitably come from the conditions of the revolution and the conditions of the economy in the revolutionary state.
Like for one, who is always at the forefront in the US when some cop cars get torched for doing a homeless camp sweep, or the majority of people out there feeding people in orgs like FNB? I have respect for ML comrades and I'm not by any stretch saying they don't do good work like that too, but whenever I see people say shit like, "oh anarchists never had a successful revolution" I'm like ok get out here with us then, come work in the kitchen, come put your ass on the line too. And at the same time I see people saying shit like "the MLs just want power and they are going to murder anarchists" like we somehow have to play out the same exact hundred year old ideological beefs.
It's all terminally online LARP bullshit and it's so damn frustrating.
Direct action gets the goods
