Hi

hi charlie

You up for a discussion on anarchism?

Yeah ig

Great,

so can you tell me how anarchists believe the state forms and maintains itself

rather the reason why the state exists

ancoms are cool

other anarchists are not

Before I say anything, I can't speak for every anarchist, and I'm not very academic, so take that how you will. But I believe the state exists to enforce hierarchies

Well can you elaborate on that

state bad

Like, hierarchies depend on there being more people on the bottom, and those people would be able to rise up if the state didn't have a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence

You wouldn’t be wrong in saying that the state is oppressive. Are you familiar with the ML idea of how the state forms

also sorry for slow typing

Im on a small ass phone

From 2013 lol

You good, and not really

Something about coming from feudalism or whatever

Basically we see the state apparatus as a tool of class rule. The dominant class uses it to oppress another

It forms because of the antagonistic contradictions between the proles and the bourgeoisie

We agree so far, ĉu ne?

We want to use the state apparatus as a tool of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, and remaining reactionary elements of society. If you agree that the state forms from class antagonisms, it only logically follows that the state would wither away as class does

What are your primary objections to this method of transitioning to communism

I'm not against this method per se, but I doubt the the state would wither away on its own, I think it would be too easy for new hierarchies to form using it

So you believe it is prone to devolving into red bureaucracy

?

Yeah,

well that can be avoided if the state is subservient to the masses

this can be accomplished through soviet democracy

How do you make a state truly subservient though?

Imperative mandate

basically if you make the peoples representatives accountable to the people then the chances of a bureaucracy forming are minimized

I mean if I’m wrong please correct me, but it makes sense to me

You're not wrong, I just think that people's interests are better served in other ways.
