    Anarchism’s lack of success to date is historical fact, and I think that’s reason enough not to take the time to engage with some Burgerland anarchist’s video essay.

      Someone’s scared, I see.

      What a great theorist Engels must have been, given that you must find ridiculous excuses in order to avoid engaging critically with his work. /s

          So, tell me: in what way is necessity, the laws of physics or self-defense the same thing as a monopolization of decision making power?

            The laws or nature impose required forms of organization upon human society to function. The “double slavery” idea is not some obscure idea. When humans enslave nature to use it for their benefit, nature enslaved humans and imposes specific forms of organisation in turn. The specific form of organization imposed upon a society of large scale industrial producers is large scale centralized organization, in which the will of singular individuals is drowned out.
