Man, being a Western terminally online "anarchist" must be so depressing/confusing

    thats a bit too far, even if you were talking only about Murica you can still find very successfull orgs like the BPP or earlier unionist efforts. Just not "winning a revolution" accomplished which to be fair is the main point

      Emma Goldman was heavy into early union efforts. This seems like an odd argument to try to make. American leftists in particular have a history of working together and still getting our shit kicked in eventually.

        I was going to say the golden era of socialist organizing in the U.S was around the time when folks like Emma Goldman and John Reed were running around coinciding with ww1, leading to the first red scare, followed by the second golden era that coincides with ww2, leading to the second Red Scare.

        what argument do you think im trying to make?

        I only responded against "all western leftism sucks and sucked" without making any tendency distinctions or references. Dont presume too much
