Gonna just really loudly say nothing here
Has revisionism ever done more good than “adventurism?”
I have been seeing a ton of shitty anarchist takes online lately. It sucks, because pretty much all the anarchists I’ve met in person have been cool.
it has the lowest bar to entry. credit to marxists, libs ask them much stupider questions

Okay I have to ask, is this really true? Cuz I’ve had the exact opposite experience, the anarchists I know irl have about the same shitty takes as online ones. And any ML I talk to about this outside of HexBear says the same. So I’m kinda convinced when people says this on HexBear they’re feigning in order to avoid violating the anti-sectarianism rule.
It’s true in my experience. However, that may be because I really only encounter anarchist theory online. In person, any anarchists I know are just busy doing stuff.
for my part, I’m actually in anarchist spaces offline and it can be really hit or miss.
Some of the ones that I just don’t talk about complex subjects with are the same ones who when they did embrace reading it was only after they went on Reddit to find “what should I be reading as an anarchist” and ending up reading a bunch of sectarian texts from a hundred years ago, glorifying figures that should be cautionary tales. The other kind in this category are the ones fresh out of higher education, thinking they now know how the world works, but not having enough life experience to question liberal academia itself yet.
My entry was via queer theory and a fair number of communists, there’s definitely others out there who have a hard time fitting into Marxist orgs (for a variety of reasons) and gravitate to anarchist spaces for organizing.
My experience has mirroed yours. I will not talk politics with my anarchist friends.
anarchist adventurism is preferable to a quiet night in on the couch
What is anarchist electoralism?
“WE NEED TO VOTE FOR KAMALA”
Ow oof owie
I have gotten a bit of that vote blue shit from anarchist friends too and it’s shocking and mind-boggling, I really can’t understand why people who are opposed to government in general want to throw their support behind Nazis!
hint: it’s the same reason xi allows private businesses to operate in china.
Liberalism
Amarcho-natoism
Smert liberalizm, slava Sotsialisty
it’s always interesting to me how these people trying to get others to"vote tactically" are never encouraging them to not vote for Democrats outside of swing states. like if we just established that the genocide tyrant doesn’t need my vote why shouldn’t we all be voting for someone else.

On one hand i agree with your assessment, tho here in europe i feel the scene is a bit different and while most people still dont necessarily delve into theory, at least were far from the “vooting is punk” shit as well.
Woke ancaps, somtimes without the woke
A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy.
when you’re a liberal who’s seen V for Vendetta
This, they’re libs but they wanted more “independent, rebellious” vibes
Remember remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder campaign and vote.
anarcho-liberals are the worst liberals
Adventurism is a stupid concept and every blow on the body of capitalism rules.
i agree, but to get things done we have to plan things out.

Yeah it was fun, he almost got got and it ended up getting Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. On top of that Trump is now scared of his own supporters and he apparently watches the tape of him getting shot several times a day.
The real counterpoint is that both instances weren’t done by leftists, and if they had been things would have gone down much differently

oh yeah, you can bet we would get the book (and the mass media) thrown at us. this happened in my country a few years ago because we had no planning at all, and is part of the reason why i say this.
meanwhile the fascists here need to be really egregious to get a slap on the wrist.
“Lone wolf” vs “Terroist”/“Political extremist”
Even if we think it’s unwise you can respect an anarchist partying like it’s 1879 and
Lenin did, Luxemburg did, Mao did.
