Do they think the Catalan Anarchists had no bourgeois blood on their hands? Do they think the Makhnovites never executed counterrevolutionaries? Fucking idiots. I preferred it when anarchists actually threw pipe bombs.

    No it doesn’t, I don’t know why you interpret it that way. Suggesting someone we don’t like has illegitimate claim to an ideology suggests someone we like has legitimate claim to it. Imagine Alex Jones says “these “conservatives” in the White House are evil,” it should be clear he likes conservatism but thinks neocons have an illegitimate claim to it.

      I guess... Although I'm a little confused.

      Imagine Alex Jones says “these “conservatives” in the white are evil,”

      But this is different than the OP. This clearly differentiates a sub group. The conservatives in white

      If I said these "conservatives" are full of shit. It kinda critizes the term "conservative" as well. And those who call themselves that.

      Once again, while I see your point. I still haven't seen a earnest critique of anarchy on this community. Maybe you can link one?

          One thing which always struck me from Marx's critiques of the Paris commune- that the various sections didn't come to the aid of eachother, and allowed the whole revolution to be defeated in detail. Some of the most cutting critiques anarchists have of AES states have been pretty much of exactly that mistake being repeated- it just played out on the scale of nations rather than within a city.
