Anarchist Revolution

[The Feral Underclass]

I am an Anarchist [and i like doing polls] and would like to know, if an anarchist revolution was just getting of the ground, what would you guys do?

[Danton]

Start burning churches and slaying officials....

[Goldfinger]

I'd stay at home doing nothing, or better yet, join the army and fight you immature imbecils.

[Dhul Fiqar]

Join anarchist forces!!! INDIVIDUALISTS UNITE!!! lol

Put on a brew, maybe have a biscuit and kick back and have a few days off and see what happens. If the government were to call elections as a result then I would go out and campaign for reform.

[Danton]

Probably what your best at...

or better yet, join the army

Doubt if they'd accept you...

[Dhul Fiqar]

Seriously, no one sees a contradiction in the phrase: "join the anarchist masses"? =D

It is a bit like: "Individualists Unite!!" , innit? =D

a big group of working class people who called themselves anarchists who where fighting in a revolution could quite easily be called the anarchist masses....what would you call them?

Individualists can unite with other individualists, there is no reason....you are merely taking the two words meanings and concluding that they could never have anything to do with each other. You simpify what they mean in a political context....those people who want an anarchist revolution and who are by principle individualists would need to unite into a mass in order to smash capitalism.

Individualists are people who believe in individual freedoms....there not people afraid of being associated in a mass of people with other human beings.

"organized spontaneous demonstration" however would be a contradcition.

All I'm saying is that anarchism is just rebellious shite. All the anarchists I know want anarchy so they can get free McDonalds. Besides, war is crap, and only poor and oppressed people should have the right to rebel. Since most anarchists are just middle class teen punks (don't get me started on punk), I wouldn't support it.

[Danton]

Cool but that's the anarchists you know, I'm no teen or punk or middle class, I'm not exactly impoverished but I am oppressed, we all are whatever our social class....

I'm no tree hugging hippie fucking vegan politically correct lesbian animal rights organic mother fucker either but I must have free chicken mcnuggets at all costs....

[Goldfinger]

lol

still comrades, right?

[Danton]

More than ever bro... ;)

Good, for a moment there I thought I was gonna end up as Enigma

No man, no contradiction. I see anarchism as a more mature form of communism, although there is even more propaganda spelling lies about our anachrist brothers and sisters than about our communist ones. Hell wouldn't a popular uprising, in the truest sense without any leninist bullshit thrown in, be anarchist? The masses throwing off their chains! Come on now! The last page of the bloody manifesto.

*sips on his tea*

True that - I just find it amusing to picture a large scale popular movement of anarchists who all have the same goals and work together in a cohesive organized sructure to actually do something :)

If I'd want to start an anarchist revolution I would just make sure lotsa punk shows around the world get cancelled.

[the SovieT]

wake up....
there is no such thing as "anarchist masses"...


in your opinion anarchist movements are suported by the masses and leninist/trotskist/stalinist movements are simply militias?
nice try comrade you almost got us on that joke ;)

Was that to me? I hardly said that, I only expressed my frustration towards leninist-based movements which put an elite at the head. I know it has worked, but look at Bolivia. Yes it has organization, but it is hardly a leninist revolt.

Will it be televised?

[Guest1]

Well, the level of bourgeois propaganda you guys still swallow is incredible. I'm not even in the mood to respond right now. All I have to say is your impression of Anarchists is the same as the impression people have of us, we are all Mazdaks to them.

Is that a fair description? No, so go read some Anarchist works.

What a flawed and biased poll. "Leninist/Trotskyist" is an oxymoron and there is no such thing as "Stalinism." I refuse to vote.

Per-leaze.....Young middle-class "punks" who wear nirvana t-shirts with a big anarchist A on them is not representation of Anarchist theory. Come on man, get with it, these kids are simply rebelling. Anarchism is a social philosophy, a little more profound that having long hair and screaming "smash stuff!"....Type in Anarchism in a search engine and read something.... Anarchists who eat at mcdonalds are hypocrites and should no better.

Will it be televised?

And we will also provide little nibberly things you can eat with dip.... :)

This is in the context of a mass anarchist movement instigating a revolution and the workers fighting the bouregoisie with the aim of creating a Anarchist society...The word militia is used to describe those people who refuse to join an Anarhist revolution and form their own group....I also think many people would disagree about whether or no Stalinism existed...and how may I add is Leninst and Trotskyist oxymorons?

[Faceless]

Is that all of the options?! I would have said stay at home and 'ave a coffee but I guess I would have to settle for tea.

[ernestolynch]

If I woke up and there was an Anarchid Revolution?

I'd either go back to sleep and put it off as the weirdest dream I'd ever had (even after eating a pound of string cheese), or I'd check into the Priory Clinic to sort out the acid flashbacks.

Wow some people do some far-out threads...

What next...a Trotskyite Revolution?

:lol: :lol: :lol:
