    So are anarchists usually just well-off, white, imperial core kids (I have never seen nor heard an anarchist past their 20s) who happen to be class conscious enough to hate capitalism but not enough to organize, or is that all in my head?

    Sorry if this is generalizing, I’m just trying to understand this weird phenomenon of being based enough to hate capitalism, but not understanding where to go next and arguing with successful leftists, even comes from.

        Don’t worry, I am a white, imperial core kid who’s broke. It’s really only applicable to Anarchists who don’t understand while they screwed, they still do get the best concessions of all the proletariat, and that’s why they need to read theory to fight those concessions pushing em on the side of bourgeoisie.

        Can we just… um… I don’t know… tone down the anarchist bashing a few notches, maybe?

        I agree that a lot of anarchists are frustrating, but it’s getting really depressing talking about them all the time (especially when we already have to deal with the upper classes, who are far worse in every conceivable way).

          Its difficult, because of the harm they’re doing to all the movement in my city. Tanking orgs, stirring up divisions between socialist groups, showing up and disrupting anti-ukraine-government events, being annoying as hell on social media calling everyone to the left of joseph mccarthy a tankie / ebil communist.

          Its not just that their strategy and tactics are wrong and have never ever worked, but they sabotage every attempt to organize a genuine anti-imperialist movement. Left unity among Marxists is the slogan within every country that has had a successful proletarian movement. The others embrace anarchism because it allows them to keep their selfish individualism, and because their ruling classes know it’s track record of failure.
