      They're being useful idiot kids. It's easy to dismiss organizing if a self-professed anarchist thinks that all organization is a threat.

      Why are there so many confused people in politics... if there are no organizers, then everyone is doing extra work to be their own organizers.

        It's easy to dismiss the labor aristocracy because of their endless history of betrayal of workers. https://workingfamilies.org/2019/09/working-families-party-endorses-elizabeth-warren-for-president/

        Marxists actually hate the idea of the working class taking power of their own lives, Marxism Leninism is functionally fascist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomism

        Unlike other forms of Marxism, autonomist Marxism emphasises the ability of the working class to force changes to the organization of the capitalist system independent of the state, trade unions or political parties. Autonomists are less concerned with party political organization than other Marxists, focusing instead on self-organized action outside of traditional organizational structures. Autonomist Marxism is thus a "bottom-up" theory: it draws attention to activities that autonomists see as everyday working-class resistance to capitalism, such as absenteeism, slow working, socialization in the workplace, sabotage, and other subversive activities.

        No one is talking about the president or senators when they say "organizers"?

            I thought anarchists wanted to get rid of meaningful hierarchy and abolish the authority that one person or class has over another

            yeah thats exactly what it is. This facebook post absolutely reeks of some wrecker page made to make them look bad.

                You realise a cursory scroll through their page reveals that they are in fact, extremely online, and extremely anarchist, and have been so for a long time. They do have evidence of doing/promoting mutual aid which is great but sometimes their takes just are terrible

            Opposing protest organizers is in line with this definition, though, so long as any particular anarchist believes it is "unjust authority."
