Comment on They cannot see the things that will hurt them
the_abecedarian@piefed.social 4 weeks agothey did it for years in a significant territory. the state had no power there during that time. that was a success, even if it was rolled back by a nationalist military (supported by nazi Germany) and undermined by authoritarian communists.
also, again, there’s rojava & zapatista Mexico currently, plus other historical examples.
it’s hard to keep your brand new society when the tanks show up immediately. this is not a weakness of anarchism or any political system.
you can look to rojava and the zapatistas for an example of defense that has worked for years despite long odds.

It’s not an “impossible standard” to expect a movement to create any lasting changes, or even at a bare minimum oppose fascism, to be considered a success.

You’ve had multiple examples of things pointed out to you that meet that standard, but it just doesn’t look like anything at all to you.
