Autonomism. Perhaps Platformist anarchists

i think that you cant seperate marxism generaly and anarchism like that.

i guess the sorta answer your looking for is:a
many anarcho-syndicalist have a workerist fetish just like many marxists so theyd be similar. many libertarian marxist communist are just anarchist communists who like to think they are better then the rest of us what with there ideology named after a dead german. (other anarchist communists agree with marxist ideas and just dont say they are marxists.)

eeehhh basically its a silly question. marxism is just a certain idea of looking at economics history etc. it can be used by anarchists and authoritarians both. anarchism is an ideology of freedom and has people who use marxist type ideas and people who dont. they arent incompatible.

Is Autonomism a branch of Leninism or a different branch of Marxism?

Also does Leninism just mean you think people who understand Marxism should lead and teach those who don't understand it but want to or does it mean a strong central power that gives orders to people?

no, but marxist and leninist theorys are more accepted in the autonomous scene, than in the traditional and more dogmatic anarchist organisations. but maybe that differs a lot from country to country.

anarcho-syndicalists and Marxists seem to get along alright.

the closest anarchist tendenc to marxism is anarcho-syndicalism and Platformism. The closest Marxist ideology to anarchism is Council Commnism.

"A place for beginners and learners to ask their political questions about theory or specific issues. Don't worry if you think your questions are stupid or pointless, ask away. Learning is not stupid and is never pointless."

sorry. yes.

so to repeat. marxism and anarchism are not on different tracks. rather they go around and around each other. with some out lying marxist types (for example stalinism) not being relevant to anarchists and some out lying anarchist types (extreme individualism such as promoted by stirne) perhaps being to extreme to even be called anarchism.

basicaly anarchism and marxism arent two distinct ideologies. (though authoritarian types of marxism generally starting with leninism are.) many many marxist ideas are agreed to by many anarchists and vice versa.
