If you say Anarchism is doing pretty good historically compared to Marxism-Leninism then you gotta say that M-L is doing pretty good compared to Capitalism! And yes we want the same thing in the end, same endgoal. But first we have to build up grassroots and move the public view to the left in the first world where we live and fight imperialism, especially US-imperialism in a United front, not only if Socialist,Communists and Anarchists, but also with the national and social liberation movements around the world and defend every people(or country), threatened by imperialism,against war and the MIC. I fighting takes us too much time, while so many people are threatened with starvation(like Venezuela) or war(iran) or just making end meet. The People United will never be defeated! All Power to the people! Workers, oucasts and oppressed people's of the world unite!
Speaking of shitty jobs where the management pretend you're a partner, and evil chain restaurant managers, there have always been anarchist restaurants in British cities run as co-ops, on a vegan and boutique basis, but relying on posh liberal customers willing to pay extra for something different to some extent. I don't know whether a co-op restaurant chain is possible, although it ought to be, because economies of scale work within the big consumer co-operatives the same way they do in private corporations. Maybe it's been tried and failed, otherwise it would already exist maybe, at least in Europe, where Co-operatives are huge. I think with union organising a significant part of the problem is the earlier dynamiting of working class organisation and consciousness during the 1980s and '90s, and the fact that so many of the milenials who are objectively proletarianised in precarious, poorly paid and unskilled work by the gig economy, uberization, zero hours contracts etc are resisting recognizing and adapting to their real class condition because they come from middle class family backgrounds with boomer or Gen X parents who themselves were lifted out of the working class by access to higher education and the relatively generous public services prior to the neo-liberal counter-revolution, when the misnamed "embourgeoisment thesis" seemed true and provided a basis for the smugness of the Clintonists and Labour right who considered they could safely take for granted and do without working class support because there was a time when the working class _was_ a declining demographic. Whereas the earlier working class just automatically knew that, of course you join the union, and you strike as often as necessary regardless of whatever oppression, the new, milienial proletarians are too often holding on to the fantasy that well, this is only temporary, and one day I'm going to become a successful entrepreneur with my youtube channel, or my twitch, or my band on spotify, or I'm going to finish my masters and get that secure, professional job like my parents keep insisting must be the goal, and that union organising and that kind of activism is somehow soemone else's business because this working class existence I'm in "isn't me". To some extent left populism in electoral politics represents the last ditch attempt to return to the middle class by getting Bernie, or Momentum, or whatever to magic away the obstacles to expanding the middle class at the expense of the working class again. I certainly feel that with Momentum, which mostly seems to be made up of downwardly mobile middle class people, and which middle class consciousness shows up in the fact that most of them are siding with the Blairtes to oppose Brexit, despite the fact that it is the EU which has crushed left liberalism elsewhere in Europe, most notably Greece.
Never clicked so fast. The ultimate team up.
I'm happy to say I never went through a Ron Paul phase.
Me either. Or an Ayn Rand phase. Apparently it's common among young men to go through these phases.
@@ToxicTerrance it's the first barrier the bourgeois erect against Marx bruh.
Cool thx for bringing this back to RUclips 🥖🌹✌️
My first listen to antifada. Kicks off with a conversation by and for metalheads. Welcome home (Sanitarium).
