Anarchism and Marxism describe dramatically different vulnerabilities in capitalism which in turn imply dramatically different strategic orientations toward the world.
If raw economies of scale are the deciding factor in struggle, then meaningful social change can only come through proletarian uprisings or movements of sufficient size. Hence anything that isn’t building up working-class institutions and/or The Party is a waste of time.
But if capitalism is riddled with inefficiencies and potential exploits, then actively being able to search through them to find critical points of leverage is far more effective because it enables force multipliers and attack vectors which can give you capacity on par if not exceeding mass movements.
I feel like this point did not come across that well in the text, but thankfully it was summed up at the end. One thing I like about some “classical” anarchist texts is that they really hammer down on each idea with sometimes multiple times stating their point from different perspectives or with multiple metaphors.
Also the text might not be as accessible for those without some IT knowledge, but for me that was actually perfect.
The land itself will be owned by the land trust, but the value derived from improvements on top of the land will belong to the worker coop that made the factory. The idea is that, while the products of nature are not the fruits of anyone's labor, using them up in production is part of the negative fruits of labor of the workers that use them up.
I was having a discussion with coworkers the other day. One of my coworkers was curious about how Libertarianism worked, and I told him it's basically about civil liberties but for themselves and no one else. Then he said anarchism and Libertarianism were similar and I had to laugh. Anarchism, at least to my knowledge, is about self-governance, everyone has the freedom to be themselves, access to clean water, etc and so forth. I also added that one of the instagram people I follow was into lab-grown meat, and my manager was like "I also advocate for lab-grown meat" Which I went on a mini-tirade that we should all just grow our own food, and my manager said that an anarchist society would never happen, but a socialist society is as close as we could come. So I just agreed, because anything is better than capitalism.
