    The anarchists could just become Marxists already and we could stop fighting

    Edit: Marxists are never going to become anarchists en masse in the same way athiests are never going to become Eastern Orthodox en masse. Anarchism and Marxism are incompatible, one calling for the immediate dissolution of the state and the other calling for a dictatorship of the proletariat. Anarchism has never won anything.

    How do you all see this playing out? There is no other viable outcome except for the anarchists to all wise up and get on board the real global movement. In every other outcome, the former anarchists lose. There is only one path for an anarchist to communism, and it’s through Marxism. So grow up and get with the program and 90% of the global left.

      there's a difference between marxists and ml/m. a lot of anarchism overlaps with a lot of marxism. less so with ml/m.

        You mean anarchists have coopted certain non-threatening bits of Marx after getting owned by Marxism so hard they became (even more) irrelevant.

        Anarchism is an idealist philosophy. Marxism is a materialist philosophy. There is no philosophical alignment except by happenstance, and all that anarcho-Marxists are doing is butchering and creating an incoherent abomination.
