Attractiveness to the lumpenproletariat

* (this only really highlights MIM’s own bigotry against those elements of the proletariat who aren’t opised to become a ‘red bourgeoise’)\"

I don’t know what you mean here. MIM says the best class to go with in the first world is the lumpen-proletariat. MIM says there is no first world proletariat.

MIM, whether you disagree with them or not, are by far the most scientific “leftists” out there. They are incredibly advanced. Just read their gender theory. Nobody knocks over idols like MIM. Check out irtr.org also, there are some real interesting Maoists there.

I find the delusions of the left sometimes more frustrating than the delusions of the right. This constant searching after heroes is absolutely futile and only serves to deny our right to self-determination. Like hello? Why do leninist / trotskyist /stalinist organisations use hero worship? Its to control and limit people’s autonomy.

Anyways…

I really wish I had been able to finish this piece when I started it (last year) - but life took over. Perhaps I’ll give it another go.

Anyways, I notice that your site contains links to platformist sites. These are definitely “structured” anarchist
organizations, though “highly disciplined” they are not. The Spanish anarchists failed not because they were too “undisciplined
and unstructured” but for the very opposite reason. The membership endured the poor choices of the leadership out of an
extreme! self dicipline born from organizational loyalty.

All the matters of criminality can be summed up by the way that marginal movements look for Robin Hood figures where none
actually exist. In the USA, and to a lesser extent Canada, anarchism’s minority love affair with criminality descends from an
undigested reverence for decades of Maoist !! clowns who covered their criminal acts with a thin veneer of politics.

This sort of posturing doesn’t feature in the actions of anarchists who actually have an effect in the real world
such as the present day Spanish CGT or even the present CNT.

Anyways, I enjoy your blog, and I have added it to the links on mine. I stole your ‘A Selection of Modern Anarchist Writings by Women’ to add to my online libraries section of links. In return you might like to steal the following collection of Emma Goldman’s
ritings to add to yours:
