I favour communism over capitalism for ideological not practical reasons, but I favour marxism over anarchism for practical reasons over the ideological.
I think most anarchists favor anarchism over marxism for ideological reasons, so using practicality-based arguments might not appeal to most anarchists.
These days though I just think a marxist approach is more realistic and less utopian
I think there's room in the world for both, and perhaps each is more capable in certain places.
Well, the way I see it is that the most effective method for achieving communism in China is marxism, and the most effective method for achieving communism in Chiapas is anarchism; both evidenced by the fact that their attempts to fight back against capitalism worked, and the rest of the world's attempts have failed. I think pretending there's gonna be one blueprint that's "the most effective" everywhere is naïve.
Anarchism has a considerably stronger track record in Chiapas. Anarchism has a considerably stronger track record in Smangus. I don't understand this obsession with picking one global economic system.

Smangus is a really cool indigenous, Christian anarchist community in Taiwan. I think Smangus is a great example for how we can fight against capitalism in other Christian communities; their movement toward anarchism was a spiritual one as much as an economic one.
