Conversation Between marxistcritic and Pinko Panther

  1. Pinko Panther
    Great I knew you'd come around.
  2. yes.
  3. Pinko Panther
    Good. So, do you accept anarcho-communism as a form of communism?
  4. I get it.
  5. Pinko Panther
    1. Well, as a Marxist, you want to have a transitionary STATE, called "socialism". I, as an anarchist, wish to skip that step.

    2. If you want to get technical, people didn't speak English at "the beginning of humanity".
    Merriam-Webster:
    Main Entry:
    anarchy
    a: absence of government

    Yes, the word "anarchy" has negative connotations in most of the world, but so do "communism" and "Marxism".
  6. I want to abolish the state as well, but that is a core marxist belief, and you dont have to add anarcho. Anarchy, since the beginning of humanity, has meant caos.
  7. Pinko Panther
    Anarchy does not mean chaos. And many anarchists, including myself, believe that there should be some laws, but no state.
    First and foremost, I am a communist. The "anarcho-" prefix just describes some of my beliefs about how communism chould be reached.
  8. Anarchy means caos. Communism, though stateless, requires some laws.
  9. Pinko Panther
    Well, "Communism" technically refers to the stateless society after socialism, so they are compatible. Different people just have different ideas about how to achieve communism.
  10. Yes, more proof that anarchy and communism are incompatible.
