Try reading a book and you'll get those answers explained in full. I'm not gonna sit here and paraphrase volumes of anarchist theory just so you can play judge nitpicking the specifics. I have explained my position well enough. If you want specifics, go read the source materials.
Kropotkin, Graeber, Bakunin, Proudhon, Luxembourg, Parsons, etc ... All have explained the mechanisms of decentralized resistance and horizontally structured systems of authority as well as the incentive structures of how people decide what to labor on and organize with their communities to ensure desired services are rendered alongside how this change of incentives and authoritative structure would counteract reactionary efforts.
FYI, that quote is from renowned anthropologist, David Graeber, who wrote multiple books on these very subjects. You should try reading them. You'll learn something.
lol. Read Lenin and Stalin - People who actually did something in real life.
You mean those who started an authoritarian regime who committed untold acts of oppression upon the working class they claimed to represent? Whose only reason they succeeded was due to the anarchists who helped build the revolution in the first place only to be stabbed in the back by your idols?
Get bent tankie.
Bolsheviks succeded due to anarchists? lmfao
anways, symbol of anarchism is usually a graffiti under a bridge, flag of marxism leninism has been flown over big nations and once encapsulated 1/3rd of humanity
Thats the difference.
Telle you don't understand what Anarchism is without explicitly telling me.
You're a joke.
The majority of human history is anarchist in nature. Far longer than your little authoritarian bullshit flag. You'd know this if you'd have read Graeber.
