As an anarchist who is opposed to accelerationionism, it’s frustrating how many people see it as an ideology that wants the state to immediately collapse.

I’ve had multiple arguments with liberals who say I’m not a real anarchist because I want pragmatic short-term progressive solutions like Medicare for all.

So yeah, I’m not wanting to condemn people to death for my ideology. Got me!

What you described is the literal definition of a conservative. So that means you’re a conservative.

umm. no. direction of change is crucial lol. some of us want capitalism to wither away as well as the state withering away. that is not conservatism lol.

Explain the mechanism through which the state will wither away. Then when the state has withered away explain how it will take more than 5 minutes before it reforms again.

I’m not even trolling here, no anarchist has ever been able to explain this to me in a way that isn’t different from literal faith.

i can’t explain it from an anarchist perspective but I can let you know a source for some great commentary on that exact matter if you’re interested?

I am. Shoot.

www.marxists.org/…/state-and-revolution.pdf

it’s well written and in a plain english form. a short read, honestly.

I’m already skeptical because of the author but I’m willing to give it a read. I do know that Lenin by the end of his life really did not like the state he had built so the ideas must be different than the practice.
