A better world is possible and none of us can accurately predict how we will get there but if we don't quit rehashing hundred year old ideological beefs that occurred within very different material conditions we're all fucked anyway.
The tankies aren't gonna murder the anarchists and at this juncture there is no revolution to speak of for anarchists to have a hand in betraying (for reasons that I have never heard a compelling case for its inevitability). If we don't get our shit together the billionaires are gonna kill us all and who knows maybe it's already too late but we have to at least try.
We're all fighting for basically the same thing. Various flavours, but essentially the same. I personally wouldn't betray the revolution should it come.
1000% agree, we need to collectively get our shit together, get over the little differences between what our end goals are, that can be sorted out later, and anyone who isn't a fucking fascist would be willing to see other collectives have their own system and still work in harmony.
I wonder if part of it is that climate change might mean the death of modern human civilization, so could the slim hope of life as a slave seem more preferable than the greater certainty of death as a free agent?
I cannot fathom that, but then again that's why I am on the Fediverse rather than on Reddit. :-P
