I have no doubt that any anarchists here are pretty based, I don't think anyone needs to prove anything to me, but I'm curious as to why you think anarchism is the best way forward towards liberating the working class. Personally, I lean more towards libertarian tendencies I just don't think anything other than MLism is a viable path forward and I think all the theory and history I've read tracks with that.analysis. I suppose you could call me socially anarchist but fiscally ML, lol.

    I was institutionalised and experienced first hand "benevolent" state violence and turns out it's indistiguishable to to all other state violence and is utterly immoral . It will only ever alienate people and plant the seeds for it's eventual distruction. Now if global revolution was successfull maybe that destruction would be into communism but I don't see it ever going forward only backwards because heirarchy and violence still present in those societies.

      I can absolutely understand that. I guess I just can't see how anarchism could take hold to create that global revolution. It seems to me like a state, and all the contradictions that come along with it, would be necessary to get there. Perhaps that's a lack of imagination on my part tho.
