Either the work of Lenin, State and Revolution, or the actual topics themselves. I'm an ML and have come to understand why the dictatorship of the proletariat is necessary. But my anarchist comrades do not want that because of their authority issues. However, I have yet to see a convincing argument.
Basically, can anybody give me a resource for the anarchist perspective that debunks why, with still a class society, it's fine to do smash the state day 1 after the revolution? And how we would effectively prevent the state from reforming while still transforming culture and society away from class divisions (and all the problems emerging out of it)?
Not looking to debate this here but looking more for something to education myself better. I didn't go through anarchism, so there's a lot I'm likely ignorant of.
It boils down to "we don't live in a vacuum". Other states will fucking SLAUGHTER you to take your land and exploit your resources, as they have proven throughout history and continue to do so.
There is not a better read than "Anarchism or socialism" from Stalin but its impossible to make an anarchist read it since its written by Stalin.
Haha. Stalin's got a way with words for sure. But you are probably right about anarchists not reading him.
