    IMO, building support networks and communities is better than meeting in dark rooms and planning revolutions. Or what is your plan of action? (Genuinely asking)

      Nobody is talking about any dark rooms, just go look at what PSL is doing very much in the open. If you look at any successful revolution it has always started by building support networks and organizing communities. It’s kind of wild that you are not aware of this. The difference with communists is that we understand that an organized dictatorship of capital requires organization and education to fight against. So, along with building out support networks we also focus on political education, organization, and long term goals.

          The whole context for this thread is you claiming that an actually existing socialist state is not really socialist because it doesn’t pass your purity test.

            Well it was originally me starting a mud fight about the meaning of the word tankie, but then we got sidetracked.

            IMO, anarchists and communists have more overlap than we might think we do.

              Sure, anarcho-syndicalism seems very compatible with Marxism for example. The main disagreement tends to be around what is actually to be done about the dictatorship of capital that we all live under in the west.
