EZLN, the favorite example of Anarchists and revisionists of an alternative to Marxism-Leninism, has now collapsed due to lack of solid theoretical fundamentals.

Marxism-Leninism is the consistent science of the liberation of the working masses, and no viable alternatives have been seen to date.

I don't see any dunking on anarchists. I see people celebrating progress.

From the OP:

From another comment:

Got in an argument with an anarchist who was pro-Zapatista and called me a redfash tankie. I doubt this will sway him in the slightest.

There's clearly a dishonest interpretation of what's going on, with a revolutionary movement in the global south, being used by western leftists to dunk on other western leftists.

Dunking on? Or exulting in being proven right?

I don't personally buy this false equivalence that there are two western leftist groups engaged in a zero-sum game of one-upmanship. I see this as yet another demonstration of the futility of western anarchist cult-like thought and therefore progress being made. There are very real contradictions being resolved for those who want to see them.

The western anarchists I know in real life have moved from backing the Nazis in Ukraine to demanding condemnation of Hamas, to today whingeing about ML's because of this story. We are not the same. But I guess they're no true anarcho-Scots.

It appears you don’t understand that the Zapatistas are not in fact anarchists.

Have you noticed that this part of the thread has become invisible if you open the main thread?

[-] Blursty@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago

It appears then you think everyone in this thread is going off half cocked.
