Yes it does still collectivize production; it just does so in a decentralized method. You don't need centralized authority to be a collectivist.
You have no understanding of what anarchism is.
Oh and of course, the lame fallacy that because it failed it means it can never be a thing. Tell me again how that worked out for the communist projects around the world? Oh, right, those imperialist nations totally don't have clear class distinctions and any day now they will just willfully give up their newly gained authority over the masses... any day now....
If you remove the system that allows them to gain authority over necessities and dictate how others access resources that should be communally available then you fundamentally remove their ability to be able to oppress you and your community.
by asking nicely,
I didn't say you ask nicely. Nice try misrepresenting my argument because you can't understand it.
What you are literally talking about is that we tried using the tools of the masters and instead of making a better society we just changed who was at the helm of the oppressive system. Thanks for proving my point.
Our ends require dismantling systems that allow for any kind of oppression. You don't inspire confidence in admitting you just want to be the one doing the oppressing instead.
Lol, the irony that I was ML first when I finally broke free of my propagandized response to communism then continued reading a plethora of authors and it led me to being Anarchist.
Master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.
You are sorely uneducated if you honestly think that.
I know. It's disheartening.
Economics and politics are intrinsically linked—you really can never talk about one without talking about the other or, at the very least, referencing its impact on how people conduct their lives.
Pretty much we need to change the entire system or nothing will change. You said it yourself, there are only two viable parties under our current system and they are both corrupt and serve the interests of our oppressors.
This is by design. The system of partisanship and electoralist statism, supported and maintained by the capitalist system of economics has never served our interests; it only ever served the interests of the ruling powers. They didn't buy the government. They built it.
And unfortunately, any time the people attempt to resist the overruling authority, that authority will engage in violence to keep their power. So a fight is inevitable if we ever want things to get better.
We have those. They're called tone indicators. Yet, some idiots think it is beneath them to be inclusive.
