Anachists and their Diaspora have been tremendously disappointing to me.
I were navigating Anarchism/communism before this Ukraine proxy war (and got banned both places for being a member of the other).
However, it rather quickly became obvious that anarchism was compromised by the liberal Narrative, and they went all in on the narrative constructed by their Oligarchic overlords 'enemy', Russia. I was shocked by the level of ignorance on propaganda/manipulation, stupidity/emotional reactions and a horrifying level of accepted propaganda in that group. I fled over to the "Tankies" here on lemmy.ml - I'm a refugee @ real Communists. Cool people.
I still don't know what Kropotkin and Engels had in common, but the level of geo-political awareness is over thew top, and comparably, Anarchists/anarchism is - currently - an intellectual joke. They will keep being the controlled angry arm of the Deep State, refuse to believe they are, and feel mighty smart about their small controlled ideology, but really.. They have been embarrassing so far..
Oc there are anarchists that sees through this ridiculous propaganda, knows how the system operates, sees how their own communities have been converted into insane proxies for the Empire - a primitive lynch-mob. ..but they are rare..
