to everyone mad about this: yes chomsky is an old man but anarchists periodically need to be put in their place so people dont start thinking they have rational political views— Virgil Hexas 🦇🦇🦇 (@virgiltexas) October 12, 2020

    That's fair enough, I think another reason there's more disagreement among anarchists is that anarchism has something to say about basically every issue that exists so that's just more things you can disagree on.

    What alternative is there to pluralism? Maybe it's cynical but I think if you ever believe you've found eternal unchanging truth, it's more likely that you've really just blinded yourself to other ways of thinking and you're therefore setting yourself up to fail. Whereas, with pluralism, there will still be a general will that points in one particular direction, and everyone should be able to sign off on that even if the details become more contentious in implementation.

    edit: Could you give a specific example of these irreconcilable differences that would prevent us from forming an actual society?

      but I don't believe what I've found is eternal or unchanging, i think it is useful for the present conditions

      and i think the main philosophocal thrust of my ideology is its criticism of capitalism based on the material conditions imposed upon me and those i care about, understadning that these will always be unique and seperate, but understadning the power needed to redress them and negate capitalism is dependent on our ability to challenge and defeat the state and thus i find my ideology useful as unifying factor, which through its program tries to dismantle the state as it exists by creating out

      ill finish this later

        Sorry, all I meant by "eternal and unchanging" was that it was absolute, it can still depend on circumstances.

          i agree, but my point is more that even though my ML take on what a communist should is in no way absolute i think its useful still as a unifying framework, complete with a practical response to the reality that the state will use violence to suppress us if we threaten the interests of capital
