Sounds a lot like democratic centralism.
The "delegation and recall" part of it? Totally! The "vanguard party" and "DotP" parts? Not so much.
A Vanguard Party is just the most dedicated and ideologically advanced people working together. It doesn't have to call itself a party at all.
DotP is the state machine being in the hands of the proletarian class. If one accepts the concept of classes, that should be a nonissue.
I'm just answering a poster saying anarchism is a lot like democratic centralism. Some parts are similar (delegation and recall), others are not at all (vanguard party, dotp)
What do you get in the absence of a DotP?
Lol then I'll ask the age old question of how do you expect to protect your revolution with no vanguard or DoTP? How do you stop the systemic issue of racism without an actual system to suppress it? That was the chief reason as to why I thought anarchism was silly.
This is literally what I wrote in my first comment:
Why not just be an ML at that point, you're already like 75% there lmao
I am an ML.
I never said I'm an anarchist I'm just explaining what anarchism is and it's not what a lot of people here think it is.
I think they were asking why, if anarchists are already 75% of thecway there, don't just become MLs.
as an ex-anarchist who is now an ML, I read more lmao
That's fair ๐๐ฟ
