As I’ve begun my journey in exploring for organizations to join I have come across a few anarchists. They get shit talked alot on here (often times rightfully so), so I’m wondering what you guys think about it. Is it hot garbage? Or is it necessary for successful revolution?
For socdems and other pro-capitalist “leftists”, no, and I don’t really consider them to be “left”. For anti-capitalists, it will depend on the organization. There are non-Marxist anti-capitalists who have formulated similar ideas (for example, I don’t think Gaddafi was a Marxist, but correct me if I’m wrong), and it has clearly been successful in some instances. For anarchism, I don’t really know – having a Marxist organization with some anarchist members might be fine (see other comments for potential issues), but I don’t think Marxists should be joining anarchist organizations in most cases (unless they’re just focused on mutual aid, e.g. helping homeless people, or it’s something like an indigenous revolutionary movement).
