I feel like a lot of anarchists aren't really anarchists because they're totally on board with abolishing the state but because there aren't really any popular alternatives to Leninism and its descendants. I sort of felt the same way; I used to align myself mostly with anarchists even though I don't like anarchism and its core tenets.
Cockshottism should take the middle ground TBH, TANS is fucking awesome

Someone in the other thread called in an ML with a lower case l. I think thats a good way to describe him,he certainly isn't a tankie. I don't think he give much praise to Stalin.

I have no idea of what you're trying to say. Leninism isn't particularly popular outside of fringe left circles and anarchism is explicitly about abolishing the state, as is all communism for that matter.
That's pretty dumb user.
Cockshottism is ML with computers, no stalin dindu nuffin, and a rejection of (full)communism in favor of a permanant DotP. TANS is useful but cockshottism is not a middle ground.
Benjamin James
He is still an ML I agree with this critique, for post-revolutionary situations democratic-cerntralism needs to be susbtituted and Cockshott is a a Post-revolutionary marxist, still Cockshott calls himself an ML and is a member of the CPGB(a ML party)
Christopher Long
But that's fucking wrong though. Cockshott (like most MLs) is a stageist.

My bad I was thinking of someone else.

What's the point of that picture? That our sexual fetishes are shaped by the society we live in? Is it supposed to just explain this, or is it also a sort of "lel some feminists like rough sex and bdsm whats up with that??" critique of feminism?
