Brosa Luxemburg

I will have to give him a look, although truthfully I feel like I need to get back to the basics. I plan on starting with Marx and Engels and moving onto Kautsky and Lenin, followed by Trotsky. Anything sort of order you would suggest as a former anarchist?

"As for international revolution, I am not opposed to it and I agree, if the revolution in Germany were to have taken off after the Russian Revolution then the Soviet Union would not have been so isolated and the phase of Stalinism probably could have been avoided. As Rosa Luxemburg said, Russia posed the questions and they had to be answered elsewhere. It is wrong, though, to think that a belief in international revolution is equivalent to a belief that revolution must happen everywhere at the same time, as you said in that post."

OK

"As for your constant use of fascism as an insult, etc. I hope you know that this is basically equivalent to right-wingers in the U.S. calling Obama a socialist."

That is about right.

"I also think it is interesting that you are SO opposed to left communism when most internationalist class struggle anarchists and left communists would consider each other allies."

Libertarianism vs authoritarian, you know.

"As for Makhno, I linked to an article that talked about Makhno's secret police. When you said that material wasn't satisfactory, another user linked to an anarchist publication talking about such things."

The material was not satisfactory because a socialist (non-anarchist) wrote it (you see I know anarchists are socialists). I admit he used at least one inteligence service, but I still do not believe he ruled in a military dictatorship rule.

"Anarcho-capitalism does NOT originate from the anarchist tradition."

It roughly originates from the anarchist ideal of abolishing authoritarian government, but it has nothing to do with the other theories of anarchism, so one could say anarcho-capitalism is a tendency of anarchism (as the political theory).

"your only argument against it is that "authoritarian socialists want to use the state to do it"."

If I wanted to discuss DotP and my opinion towards it I would give better arguments, but that is not the point in question.

"As for the whole left communism and fascism thing, I am not going to discuss it anymore because it is such a stupid claim"

Like I have said before, I never said left-communism was fascist.

"You claim anarchism is not a tendency of socialism, but this is wrong."

No, since anarchism is a tendency of socialism, one might conclude that without socialism there would be no anarchism, which is wrong.
Socialism is an economic theory, anarchism is a political theory, saying a political theory originated from an economic theory is absurd. Economic and political theories combine to form complete theories, anarchism is a synthesis between anarchism (theory that defends a society without an authoritarian state) and socialism ("to eac according to his need, from each according to his ability ").

So, one cannot say one originated from the other.

Mostly my belief that the organizational principles of anarchism have slowly seemed less and less feasible to me. The bourgeoisie organize in a centralized and efficient manner, I don't believe that proletariat should hand them over the advantage of having superior forms of organization. On top of that I simply have slowly come to the view that given that we live in a world with billions of people, some sort of centralization will be necessary.
