I'm only anarcho-sympathetic but I will say that of all the leftist groups I've encountered, anarchists are far and beyond the ones who actually do the most practical stuff (mutual aid and so forth). It is in no way a "luxury belief" for them. - ThreadSky

Perhaps this demonstrates that anarchism is a luxury belief that falls apart when faced with the need for mobilization of resources beyond the scale of a commune.

MLs, meanwhile, sit around defending Stalin on the internet, Trots are Trotting, and the British left more broadly spent most of the past 5 years trying to get their pretend grandpa Jeremy Corbyn back in the Labour Party because reasons.

It's not the anarchists who come across as the ones with the "luxury belief", at least not when you survey the British left. For naval-gazing, time-wasting nonsense, see the groups mentioned above.

(*Not all lefty Brits who aren't anarchists, obviously)

For the record btw it is the logically correct decision for Ukrainian anarchists, and leftists generally, to resist Russian imperialism.

An Irish anarchist died resisting Russian imperialism.

the marxist-leninist left tend to write essays about why this modern phenomenon proves marx and/or lenin was right all along. which is pure tediousness. i consider myself a marxist and even i find it so tiring to read. a real communist left would antagonize the state! anarchists at least do activism

Being an anarchist does not mean that you are a pacifist. It's pacifism, that is a luxury position when your country is getting invaded.

Yes, what he said is wild. Everything good in this world is *already anarchist* it is the most fundamental thing on earth. If you've ever been an anarchist, you'll know it's far from luxury. And the whole point is to mobilize with people on your side, and form groups across borders

You have one big demonstration and every poster in America is fired up and ready to punch horizontally because we still can't exert any leverage
