It's fun watching reactionaries bend over backwards to avoid the word "anarchism".

I'm not even an anarchist, and all these "lay down" type groups that keep cropping up and calling themselves anarchist just reek of color revolution.

They don't view their revolutionary activity outside their immediate political environment, and their demands are not clear.

Anarchists may be "leaderless", but they do have a clear vision, theory, and an internationalist position that makes sense.

    Their demands seem fairly clear from my perspective. Remove the existing far right government from power, stabilize the lumpenproletariat, appoint auditors familiar with various affinities to their respective positions and take an audit before making long term commitments.

    This is fairly bog standard takeover procedure. You really shouldn't make sweeping claims and long term plans if you don't even know how many people are in need of homes. That's how you get mass starvation.

    This is part of the point people are making; it is entirely too early to be sure of how this will go, and I skeptically view it as entirely more likely that something which has occurred many times (the West co-opting a populist movement) will happen than anything else. This likelihood of this is amplified by said movement being, to my knowledge at the moment, headless.

    I do hope this leads to something other than an alphabet agency backed goon in power, but...it seems so unlikely.
