    Can we focus on the common enemy for now? Can we all agree that of there is going to be a repeat of a dynamic from 100 years ago, it isn’t likely going to happen real soon? Just seems like a waste of energy at this point of political reality.

      Anarchists and State Communists do not have the common enemy as both have many differing enemies.

        Fascists and capitalists? Those are the enemies I see right now, and it is going to take a lot more revolutionary energy (and time) to defeat them. I am someone with a foot in both Anarchism and Communism. I’m not “choosing a side” in some fight that we will only get the chance to have after we defeat capitalism! I’ve got criticisms and admirations for how both types organize, but I can’t stand seeing people waste their energy tearing down comrades when there’s actual work to be done.

              my impression is that the person you are replying to is a 16-25 year old angry usamerican man who thinks posting online about the glorious revolution is praxis.

              Wouldn’t invest the time.

                I get it. But we need them too. They’re angry and they have energy. I don’t care who they organize with, I just want them to get some perspective and focus on the task at hand.
