That's a whole lot of assumptions that need to be true for something like this to happen. The biggest assumption is that after the anarchist revolution the overwhelming majority of the populace will become ideologically anarchist and will refuse counter revolutionary propaganda and agitation. This has never happened after any revolution in history, in a lot of cases only a few percent of the populace were committed revolutionaries that actually execute the revolution with only the conditional backing of a huge chunk of the populace.

If anarchism can only work if most of the people are anarchists it's not a viable revolutionary ideology IMO.

This is somewhat related to the thread as this guy critiques Marxism a lot on his channel, what are Hexbear anarchist thoughts on this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@Anark/videos

He seems at first glance more coherent than most Internet Anarchists I've encountered, is he a good source on anarchist theory?

The queen bee doesn't exactly do any coordination and planning tho.

That said it's a pretty nonsense analogy in the first place, people aren't insects.

Anarchists have proven thousands of time since it was written that they are very willing to use force against capitalists and fascists but biting the hand that beats you in itself is not an authoritarian act.

Ok I can agree there but about counter revolutionaries after the revolution? Do you let them organize and gather support in the name of free expression? Do you engage them only after they start shooting at you?

Another question I have is how do you handle defense of the revolution from outside forces? Sure you could have militias with elected officers and whatnot, but what if part of your anarchist territory does not want to fight to defend the revolution? I could imagine the people further away from the frontlines would be less inclined to go and fight and I'd also imagine drafting people would be too authoritarian for anarchists.

We'll see I suppose, historically in Europe demsoc parties were only distinguishable from succdem parties by a bit harsher rhetoric, anywhere they've tasted power they haven't really gone beyond moderate socdem reforms as far as I know.

Can't expect more from sucdems I guess, the most important thing is fascism is halted for now at least.

This is all capitalism's fault.

Those poll results are absolutely insane, has any other party in history tanked so hard so fast?

This debate wasn't about winning over voters, it was about not losing them. Biden's performance will make a lot of people stay at home while Trump was neither here nor there. Overall it's a win for Trump.

The neoliberal lapdog establishment doesn't care, they'll run the entire thing to the ground before turning tail on their owners.

Didn't they manage to make it somewhat good at solving certain math competition problems? Regardless it's a pretty big jump from that to making a breakthrough in physics.
