    Anarchists aren’t more left in principle, it’s just that their theoretical ideas don’t actually face the stark realities of confronting global capitalism and imperialism because no significant anarchist movement ever actually got to the part where you defeat capitalism, and therefore didn’t have to defend itself from imperialist siege

      Still waiting for the tankies to defeat capitalism. Last I see China has fully embraced it and the Soviets collapsed.

        They’ll have China remove it all when they get more billionaires. Marx famously said that socialism can only be done with billionares, and Mao said political power grows from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

        China has fully embraced it

        Weird, then why are there no fascist parties in China like in the capitalist west? Why was China able to lift 800mn people from poverty in 30 years? Why has China become the manufacturer of 95% of photovoltaic modules in the planet against the interests of the capitalist fossil fuel lobby? Why has China not engaged for 50+ years in wars like the US, EU and Russia? Why does China not engage in imperialist extraction and plunder from the global south like capitalist countries? Fucks sake, ask Chinese people in which system they live. You can also ask Laotians, Vietnamese, Cubans…
