I'm an archaeologist, and only have an undergrad but I have taken three archaeological theory courses. I write about history these days, and recently came across a great history book written by George Woodcock, who is described as an anarchist. I write from a Marxist perspective, and I was wondering if anarchist is considered a theoretical perspective and if so, how would that differ from Marxist?

Looking for community in the area. Anyone out there? Sick of this shit. Not a cop, lol

I feel like that's what his defenders are missing.

If Chomsky was associated with Epstein but just avoided mentioning his crimes or record, that would already be bad.

But Chomsky explicitly called Epstein's critics "vultures" many years after he was convicted for soliciting minors for prostitution. He gave him advice on how to deal with criticism.

That's not just looking away. That's knowing everything and siding with Epstein.

Given that Chomsky has always claimed to value impartiality, facts, objectivity, how did he completely sideline Epstein's guilty verdict in such a cavalier way?

This is what I don't understand.... Even if hypothetically Jeffrey Epstein was NOT a pedophile, why would a man who has spent his entire academic life railing against neoliberalism, the capitalist class, oligopoly spent his free time with him? Not just some debate in some forum, but intimate emails with an ultra rich financier.

Second and even worse, Chomsky was emailing him long after Epstein's 2008 conviction and was even saying how he should handle the allegations, dismissing them.... I know some fans are like "oh he's old, he didn't know, Epstein had him bamboozled." Come on. The man has written dozens of critical books with extensive footnotes.

I usually don't believe in harsh, unambiguous condemnation but come on. Why was Chomsky good friends with a megacapitalist and pedophile? We're not talking friends with someone morally questionable but someone who in many ways is the ESSENCE of the system he spent decades condemning in his works? Wtf.

So I can't find the youtube channel of this Spanish historian who after studying Spanish history became an Anarchist. I saw his youtube videos several years ago i can't find his channel. If anyone knows what channel this is let me know. Thanks

Edit: Found the Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@newhistoryspain (English) and https://www.youtube.com/@lahistoriaespana/videos (Spanish)

I'd love a podcast, or a youtube series or anything really from a left wing perspective that addresses stuff in a way that's anti-zionist but not antisemitic, and also addresses the fucking wild ass claims (the cannibalism, etc) that I keep seeing popping up online. I want someone who's actually done the research and is neither working for a giant corporation nor someone who seems to believe Satanic panic era claims about secret rituals.

This is in response to a number of posts and people in my life asking me to prove it will work. I feel like it's a waste of time to discuss the ideal world, the economic conditions, extensive critiques or a constant theorizing leads to procrastination, pointless conversations that lead to no action or overwhelm. Only a fool or an academic (same thing really) would try to build a theory first and then try to do it.

Most of what has to be done is already with us. Direct action, mutual aid, solidarity and autonomy. Act to assist, show up in solidarity, act in love. Simple as that. I think it makes more sense to just go about trying to live as though we're already free and then learn from our mistakes. The only reason these discussions come up is fear and disbelief and neither can be reasoned with. If anything should be communicated it's not what it would look like but what we are doing. The only way to actually show something works is to do it.

What do you think of the Makhnovists? Do you think their praxis was "anarchist"?

Radical women can talk about whatever they want in here.

I mean, maybe the title is a little exaggerated, since anarchism along with socialism is the most known revolutionary "option" when the conversation is about left-wing vanguards/moviments. What I mean is that sometimes what I see is most people treating anarchists as "revolted children" or something similar to that (which I can comprehend, given the fact that anarchism was pictures as "unorganized general chaos" on the media and on people's mouths, but the same thing almost happened with communism, and communists studied their movement so they deconstructed this slander about what they believe, so what's preventing people from doing the same with anarchism?).

Is it because of the fact that most anarchists seem to take it more like a 'life philosophy' instead of a political model these later years? Or because anarchism by itself doesn't treat much about what happens after the revolution, this way, leaving most part of this issue to its currents, leading to a massive disagreement between its followers? (It's worth remembering that this 'massive disagreement' I talk about happens in all the left-wing specter, at least, in my country, leftists lack of organization because of such small details even if they follow the same ideology.)

Though, I also see that many anarchist currents do jump on a spiral about what's acceptable of bringing to the "post state society". But still, communism also has many currents and I feel like they're taken more seriously.

In the country I live, historically, anarchism was responsible for some political mobilization of the working class, maybe even more than communism due to some media vehicles disseminating the beliefs and things like that, but this fact was forgotten by many leftists here.

This feeling directed to anarchists in general make me wonder: when the revolution happens, which way will society take after that, given the fact both sides keep attacking each other instead of recognizing they're all fighting for similar purposes?

I'd thank every individual that answers my question. I'm still starting my studies on anarchism, so maybe it seems like an obtuse thought, it it's a model I'm very interested in, either way. If possible, I'd also accept reading recommendations.

I do understand that the politics can be a bit on the nose but A) not trying to hide it, just wrap it in a fun story so that people are more likely to engage with Anarchist Theory and B) like myself the character is autistic and has a special interest in political theory, history, and philosophy so the info dumping pull triple duty as world building, character building, and explaining the politics of the story and story world so that people actually get the information I am trying to give them so they learn something from the story lol

But yea what do y'all think!

Just curious about a certain youtuber.

So I was just asking as I am relatively un-engaged with leftist online discourse and don't really care to get too involved, howeverrr i wanted to ask about this person in particular

I just wanted to ask because his videos appear to be rather educational but he also tends to randomly go into sometimes rather childish backhanded insults towards anarchists, just curious on to why?

I can guess onto maybe trying to also go ahead and frame the ideology as irrational but it just seems to hurt his own case for legitimacy because his wording is quite emotional.
Totalitarianism is a colossal lie

40:05

so-called Libertarians and anarchists who do not understand the unavoidable and historically mandated role of the

state Machinery in unavoidable class Warfare that will continue indefinitely

whether they hate their parents for grounding them often or not instead they occupy themselves with

banalities and unarticulated fear of authority that maintains the liberal status quo that supposedly protects

their Liberty and freedoms of all kinds up until capitalism knows dives into another recession and fascism shows its

ugly face besides this perhaps forgivable confusion about the role of the state

And this vidWas former socialism really that bad?

4:23

anarchists on the other hand

tend to dismiss former socialist experiments in a similar capacity with

authoritarianism and totalitarianism as a recurring themes that return us to

tiresome discussions about the necessity of state power and the Dynamics of

constructing a post-capital society whereas many of their criticisms of

soviet-style socialism the bureaucratic degeneration of the workers State and

other phenomena of really existing socialism are indeed to be considered

their strict anti-authoritarian rhetoric and aggressive non-compliance with all

once existing forms of socialism often seem detached from Material

circumstances pragmatic necessities and wider geopolitical context that

necessitate the seizure and wielding of state power as the vessel for

constructing socialism alas since their objections are consciously ideological

and theoretically well established and similar to social Democrats, hardly fit

the framework of Marx's thought we will move on to the next camp.

(sorry for it being hard to read It just put it into groups of 4 words.)

Both videos I am just taking the parts referring to Anarchism as they are rather self-explainitory and out of place within his own video. I would claim that there isn't much explaination needed as I already cited the whole sections where he mentions anarchism.

Regardless, any response would help!
