You would be the first tankie to do so.

Prunebutt , to Memes in for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there

Will this be implemented before or after they allow non-state-run unions to exist?

Sorry, we might have a different definition of socialism going on here.

To me, socialism is when the workers ownsthe means of subsistence, not when the government does stuff.

Prunebutt , to Memes in for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there

Xi will give the means of production back to the workers yany day now* I can feel it. /s

Have fun doing your idealist vanguard LARP. Thinking that the "right" people in the government will somehow lead to socialism.

They aren't engaging with the definition in a serious way. That is my point.

I follow a different definition, that's more complete, IMHO: Authority is the monopolization of power from the hands of the many to the hands of the few. With that definition, which is compatible with the bulk of anarchist theory, "On authority" is nothing, but the incoherent ramblings of someone with too much personal beef.

The hexbear author not once seriously engages with any of the two viewpoints given in the anarchist rebuttal. They give this example of a robbery, where they try to reach a point with the anarchist's definition and call it absurd. The only reason, they do so, is begause in the middle of their argument, they switch definitions back to Engels' definition. If I change the preconditions in the middle of my logical chain, shit will get goofy. Duh.

You mean the definition of authority that the video you linked as a rebuttal is based on? Because that is the one that is being critiqued.

No. The video and the essay huse different definitions. You didn't watch the -ideo, or didn't listen to it, properly.

The argument is that the alternate definition that the anarchist proposes is incoherent.

The hexbear author fails to do so and doesn't properly represent the anarchist's essay's point of view.

Engels created a straw-man. No anti-authoritarian thinks that necessity, or self-defense is authority. Therefore, they don't argue against necessity, or self-defense.

Libertarian socialists have come closer to achieving socialism than any state in the ML tradition.

Prunebutt , to Memes in for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there

Wow, sick burn, homie. /s

Just cause you chose to ignore the well-founded critique, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Prunebutt , to Memes in for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there

Sorry, but you obviously have no idea of modern anarchist theory.

Prunebutt , to memes in That's 3 for 3

Cringe "Anarcho" capitalist bullshit

Prunebutt , to Memes in for all the "anti-authoritarians" out there

Yes. /j

You are allowed. You overshot and now I don't want to engage anymore. If you want to discuss, adjust your tone, next time.
