You can start by height. If that doesn't work you can try favorite ice cream flavor.

And no, boot leather isn't actually an ice cream flavor. There seems to have been some confusion about that amongst us workers lately.

    Where in the world are you going with this? Anarchists espouse the importance of organizing in addition to Marxists, albeit in different manners and structures based on different end goals and class analysis. Surely you can give an actual Anarchist answer and not just a joke and a jab at Marxists, right?

    You're right. Perhaps I need to touch grass. My "is this commenter worth actually expending energy" meter may be off.

    And to be clear, there was no jab at marxists. There was a jab at the lack of working class solidarity and wealth cult that exists within my everyday context in the US. Which you aren't necessarily aware of and I wasn't explicit about.

    Marxist and Anarchist end goals really aren't so different that it makes sense to foster any leftist infighting. We all ultimately want things to be better for everyone, especially the working class.

    Ah, gotcha! I've seen way too many people making jabs at Marxists these days so I got defensive. I apologize, I got ahead of myself. I agree entirely that at this stage it makes no sense whatsoever to engage in hostile relations between Anarchists and Marxists, the goal remains a more equitable society and liberation of the working class, and are more useful to each other than non-useful.

    Hell, we should strive for a political pluralism in which we can hate each other as opposing parties rather than as seeing each other as preventing our goals. Singular parties inevitably wind up with colocranial blockages, and in a healthy system different sides have the same ultimate goals, just different ideas on how to achieve them
