Communists are the only ones to have modern revolutions which have successfully overthrown colonizers and ruling classes and immediately ushered in societies that materially improved the lives of the masses. Infant mortality rates down, life expectancy up, literacy rates up, access to food and medicine up, etc etc. You can deny history and statistics all day but no one else has turned an illiterate backwater where people live an average of 35 years into the most advanced societies on the planet except for communists. The only “roadmap” anarchists have is being hedonists until capitalism makes most of the earth unlivable, which will certainly bring a type of anarchism to the last survivors of the earth, but will unfortunately be the mad max kind
I don’t need to watch a 2 hr video of a white man with a trust fund filming himself talk from his estate to refute the blatantly false title that appeared on my timeline. Ive already spent years working with anarchists so I am intimately familiar with white people with trust funds making stupid arguments to justify doing nothing to stop the system them benefit from
No I came here to refute the blatantly false and reactionary idea proposed in the video title. Read every book I’ve ever read or else you can’t critique communists.
Yet you have nothing to refute it besides a dogmatic commitment to an ideology. My commitment is to liberation of all people and the earth and I understand that the only way to get there is through evidence based and material analysis. If you could provide that I would be forced to update my analysis but all you can do is deny deny deny
Poor @PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus valiantly trying to provide counters to a sea of salty MLs. There’s not enough time in the world to debunk all that bad faith nonsense.
It’s also incredibly funny to see them making the same arguments which were directly addressed in the above video, or just straight up devolving to attacking Anark based on who they assume he is.

The guy in the video has been a community organizer for 15 years and you’re whining on the internet. Who’s justifying doing nothing, again?
So you just came here to try to start an argument. Yet you have the audacity to call us immature 🙄

I think you didnt get the message the first time. Unless you want to discuss the contents of that video please fuck off.
If you think argument is inherently bad, then yeah, you are definitely immature.
how is going into an anarchist space to throw around insults a mature thing to do?
What part of their comment are you taking as an insult?
Do I really have to point it out to you?
You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, but I’m afraid you aren’t shaking the “immature” label.
Absolute ahistorical nonsense

Why would I do any effort for someone who doesn’t even watch to linked video? Anyway we’re not here to enable your debate pervertry.
No you are just here to perpetuate reactionary ideologies that are inherently bourgeois
I’m not the one supporting capitalist nations. Now fuck off. This is not the comm for the your ML propaganda.
This guy claims he won against you in the Hexbear thread. God MLs are a bunch of losers.

Lmao you guys banned him? How pitifully fragile. Never seen such a gormless group of leftists before.
