And their downfall was not balkanization
You can have elected, recallable, representatives in charge of certain things
doesnt matter, all anarchist governments will eventually fail because central command does not exist
Sounds like you don't know anarchism
wasnt makhno military leader of the black army tho?
you cant rely on elections for everything, because the people are rarded. they elected trump lol
as in, central command?
They elected trump becaue they are uneducated
idk, that wouldnt be anarchism if makhno just commanded an army by himself
and kept ignorant by capitalism
It could be if he was elected
well why let uneducated people vote
and also
Bakunin argued for a dictatorship of revolution
Nestor Ivanovych Makhno or Bat'ko ("Father") Makhno[1] (Ukrainian: Не́стор Івáнович Махно́; October 26, 1888 (N.S. November 7) – July 25, 1934)[2][3] was a Ukrainian anarcho-communist revolutionary and the commander of an independent anarchist army in Ukraine in 1917–22.
yea military was centralized
hmm so like dictatorship during a revolution and then anarchism after that?
More like a centralized military structure and anarchism after, basically the army should never try to establish a state and simply establish communes
However I don't share this view
But it goes to show that anarchism has different facets
well, even if you do take down the state and just go around protecting communes, there are other states that could just come and take over
And the army will still be ablive
see how disorganized defence and assault has worked in Rojava
Protecting the communes is easy
but this is why you need weapons to establish the Black Army
lol rojava relies on bombings conducted by americans and russians, without them they wouldn't be as successful as they are
Russia does not assist rojava
and they are also being constantly bombarded by turkey
and remember that the US almost left the region
russia is aiding syria, AKA rojava's enemy
Rojava
is suriving
and thriving
the russians are bombing terrorists in syria and the rojavans just come and take the rubble from the war
Not at all true
They have been pushing the most
into ISIS territory
i mean yea, they do some things by themselves, but the bombings help a lot
Not enough to detract from the Rojavans defense and offense
lmao what? is all the research youve done from urunhue or something?
i dont want them to lose or anything since i wanna see how an anarchist society would function
