    ok so what’s the plan then? how do you destroy the system but keep the tools needed for civilization to continue? It’s an honest question because I see lots of doomer and boogaloo types but no one seems to offer up a plan.

      Simplifying things, Anarchist praxis is to start building the new world in the shell of the old. We start building org structures we want to have, co-operatives, unions, moneyless exchange systems etc. These things naturally destabilize the existing system until it collapses under its own inherent contradictions, and then these orgs take over seamlessly.

        And other lies you can tell yourself. Dont get me wrong, i am more aligned with anarchist thought than any other leftist denomination, but holy shit we cant be this naive.

          No naivety involved. This has already happened and been shown to work.

                10 months. It lasted 10 months . Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful thing. But we need to look beyond siege socialism.

                  That’s irrelevant to our topic. It also lasted 3 years

                    I was referencing Revolutionary Catalonia not the wider Spanish Revolution. My mistake.

                    It is possible to co-opt existing structures, but how do we counter outside forces, like happened during the Spanish Revolution. I could be wrong, but Horizontalism will always be weakened against organized opposition.
