Response to Libertarian Socialist Rants & “Red Bureaucracy“

1. Anarchists need to define exactly what they mean by Worker Control instead of sticking to their usual axiom “its what ever we do and not what Marxists do“. 2. Anarchism needs to demonstrate that it can reach stateless communism. Otherwise its fairly pointless to complain that Marxism hasn’t done so, especially since Marxism never claimed to reach statelessness immediately unlike Anarchism. Marxism has a rational theoretical explanation for why Socialist states and Anarchist societies didn’t achieve statelessness but Anarchist ideology is clueless about it instead opting for denial. This makes Anarchism a purely faith-based ideology. 3. Anarchism has consistently failed to protect itself and instead of taking a look in the mirror always blames all of it’s mistakes on everyone else. Marxists recognize the harm hostile forces have caused to Socialism and how Socialism has been hindered by it’s enemies but such resistance is to be expected and we need to be able to live with it. Anarchists should learn this
