do anarchist plan to internationalize there revolution, and if so how?Because it seems to me that if they don't there formed societies would quickly fall victim to imperialism(as sad as that is):confused:

It seems to me that there cannot be "anarchism in one country," either.

The human species will either come to exist in natural anarchist/communist formations, or perish at the hands of its Frankenstein monster, global capitalism. We will either live naturally or die unnaturally.

A successful proletarian revolution is necessarily global.

We have already seen the failure of 'socialism in one country' and there are no class struggle anarchists that advocate anything along those lines.

Anarchists, especially class struggle anarchists, take internationalism seriously and as a matter of principle. Whenever there is war or inter-imperialist rivalry, anarchists will always state that neither side deserves the support of the working class. This comes from the principle that the main enemy is always at home, your own national based capitalist class. As a result of this, anarchists are opposed to all forms of nationalism and patriotism as we see these as attempts by the ruling class to divide the working classes and pit them against each other.

Indeed.

Unless the revolution is on some sort of international level, it will either be crushed (like the USSR) or isolated (like Cuba).

and that's not to say an Anarchist state hasn't existed.. it has but yes, the powers that be which in both cases were Fascist (Franco's Falange and Stalin's Bolsheviks) eventually eliminated the Free Territory of Ukraine and Catalonia. i think anarchism is good enough to stand on its own that if people just took the time to read about it, it would grab them like it grabbed me years ago.
