Letter to the Cabbages Pt. 1

yeah, I don't think any of the hippie communes actually worked.

except maybe Jonestown.

anyway, any political theory that relies on human beings naturally doing what is in the best interest of the group is not worth discussing, because it's never going to work.

What good is politics at all without pipe dreams and empty posturing?

I agree... if any of the various forms of Anarchy have any chance of working, it would be the ones that require the individual to be completely responsible for themselves. It would probably also be a violent and dangerous place to live.

I think the "Realist Anarchy" position may be the only anarchist position that a person could actually implement in real life.

BAMP because I did a thing with it.

The ranting about the impossibiity of socialist anarchism in here remind me of the sort of stuff that comes out of libertarians.  Anarchism has always been socialist, there are some recent variants caling themselves anarcho capitalist, which actually is a contradiction in terms, which are not, but traditionally Anarchists are in favor of society controlling the means of production, through unions and other labor organizations.  That's socialism.  The Ukrainian back army was socialist, the CNT-FAI was socialist and the Kurds of Rojava are socialist.
