What are your views on anarchism?

[Murica!]

Aside from primitivism and capitalism, I at the minimum support all forms of anarchism, though of course I support some, such as syndicalism and communism more than others.

[Murica!]

Either misguided idealists or radical lunatics. I wouldn't trust either to lead a country.

Um...

[Murica!]

I like private control over government control for most services, but I don't want private police/military/etc.

That isn't what anarchy is. Anarchy is the absence of the policy/military/etc, not privatized versions of them.

So I'm assuming everyone would have to rely on self-defense?

Have you even heard of the Free Territory of Ukraine? Or at least Anarchist Catalonia?

States which broke apart almost immediately? Did you just read about them on Wikipedia and assume they were great?

Did you just?

Force of habit.

Anyway, let's say region.

Both lasted three years until they were betrayed by authoritarian "Marxists" who were their supposed allies in a war against reactionaries and fascists. By the way Have you read Orwell's Homage to Catalonia or anything by Makhno, because yeah I did.

[Murica!]

Makhno was an anti-semitic lunatic who robbed the Red Army, so it really isn't surprising that "Anarchist" (in reality, a military dictatorship run by Makhno) Ukraine was snuffed out by the Red Army. As for Catalonia, the betrayals of the Stalinists there are obvious and disgusting, but the CNT leadership was dumb as a rock and literally turned down power when they were offered it by the Catalan government because muh state

TNF, please provide an argument that isn't just Bolshevist propaganda.

[Murica!]

I don't really understand the leftist varieties of anarchism--I mean, I think anarcho-capitalism is unworkable in reality, but how on earth could you have some form of communism without a massive government, or an entity with the same powers of government?

It's called democracy, I'm sure you've heard of it.

I've heard of those places, and I would rather live in Nationalist Spain or Tsarist Russia.  They had armed forces, and I imagine that there had to be some sort of leadership in the militias.

You won't get a word more from me, Herr Fascist.
