    Let’s not shit on the anarchists too much. We marxists also got plenty of fucking wierdos and patsocs and other kinds of morons. This is mostly just the consequence of the terminal lack of rigorous materialism in the thinking of western populations.

      I think “If” is the operative word there. Lots of self-styled rebels who’ve never read a word of Bookchin think anarchy just means “I can hurt anyone I want and there’s no one to stop me.”

      Being an ML myself, I have my own criticisms of anarchism, but I still think it deserves better than to be perverted by antisocial chuds.
