    Communists are the only ones to have modern revolutions which have successfully overthrown colonizers and ruling classes and immediately ushered in societies that materially improved the lives of the masses. Infant mortality rates down, life expectancy up, literacy rates up, access to food and medicine up, etc etc. You can deny history and statistics all day but no one else has turned an illiterate backwater where people live an average of 35 years into the most advanced societies on the planet except for communists. The only “roadmap” anarchists have is being hedonists until capitalism makes most of the earth unlivable, which will certainly bring a type of anarchism to the last survivors of the earth, but will unfortunately be the mad max kind

        I don’t need to watch a 2 hr video of a white man with a trust fund filming himself talk from his estate to refute the blatantly false title that appeared on my timeline. Ive already spent years working with anarchists so I am intimately familiar with white people with trust funds making stupid arguments to justify doing nothing to stop the system them benefit from

          The guy in the video has been a community organizer for 15 years and you’re whining on the internet. Who’s justifying doing nothing, again?

            No I came here to refute the blatantly false and reactionary idea proposed in the video title. Read every book I’ve ever read or else you can’t critique communists.

              I think you didnt get the message the first time. Unless you want to discuss the contents of that video please fuck off.

        Yet you have nothing to refute it besides a dogmatic commitment to an ideology. My commitment is to liberation of all people and the earth and I understand that the only way to get there is through evidence based and material analysis. If you could provide that I would be forced to update my analysis but all you can do is deny deny deny

          Why would I do any effort for someone who doesn’t even watch to linked video? Anyway we’re not here to enable your debate pervertry.
