Yes, we’re comrades who share a common struggle. But do you mean anarchists and marxists? Cause every single anarchist I know in real life is also a communist. And ever anarchist movement or org or squatting place or whatever too. Only online do I ever find anarchists who distance themselves from the idea of a stateless classless society (the universally accepted definition of communism). Like I assume you’re okay with society being stateless. So you want it to have classes? Not really, right? Marxists and anarchists have different strategies for how to get there, but clearly every anarchists who wants a classless stateless society (i.e. communism) is also a communist.
When I made this comment its because on Lemmy you’d think communists and anarchists are completely opposing ideologies with how much the users fight each other. Seems kinda strange if you ask me cause my experience is your’s in real life. The anarchists and communists I know in person happily get along with each other and provide aide in the same ways. I assume it stems from an examination of the past instead of a focus on the changes occuring now. I think today communists and anarchists have more reasons than ever to unite.
I’m new to the space and align more with Marcus thought but my understanding of the disagreements are that we disagree on the path to take to get to the final goal given the material conditions in the way (imperial states trying to destroy us, etc) I’m also probably oversimplifying the hell out of this.
Sounds about right, same goal, differing paths, and a lot of mistrust. Which historically I get, but I guess just do good with those around you or whatever.
