Are Marxism and anarchism mutually exclusive?
Are Marxism and anarchism mutually exclusive?
There are certain strains of thought which draw from both (like autonomism), but tbh Marxists and anarchists have been at each others' throats for a century and a half, so in terms of practical unity between Marxists and anarchists it seems unachievable (and, in my opinion, undesirable).
I find Communalism to be a sort of "synthesis" of the two. That's not to say that it accepts everything within both ideologies, but that it builds off of both.
A few Anarchists have tried to bring some of Marx's thought into their own. Daniel Guerin for instance.
Let's face it, "The state will wither away" is a meme. How about, we use the marxists to infiltrate and weaken the state, mainly by pushing for disarming the police and military, then when it's vulnerable the anarchists finish it off during the revolution.
Anarcho-marxism/Marxist-anarchism when?
then all the countries around this new anarchist land will fuck them over with full armies
What would be the point for violent revolution at that point, can`t you just dismantle state structures and decentralize everything to workers collectives?
It's impossible to abolish the state. Abolishing the state is killing everybody. If there are no people, then there is no state.
A state is everything, not just the government.
Nice dubs though
Literally anarchism captured in one pic
