Please don't bring that shit here. Just keep to lemmygrad dude.
Marxism is a deeply flawed ideology. I recommend reading Karl Poppers writings about marx to understand how fucked it really is.
You're gonna have to explain a little more about this because on its face I don't see why I should read what a specialist in the philosophy of science has to say about an ideology based on a historical and sociological analysis of the world. They're totally different spheres.
Plus, Marxism is not the entire left, and there's a whole world of thought out there that very likely covers whatever issues you're thinking of.
Dude literally ignored the word anarchists to better focus on his red scare commie bashing bullshit ๐๐คฆ
Just wondering, are there any successful anarchist societies? I'd love to learn about them.
I can only imagine small adjacent societies that choose to be anarchist as a preference but use the hierarchical power structures (normal society) as the backbones of their operations. Meaning, these small societies would look for real doctors in case someone got cancer or a neurological disease. They probably use the electricity provided by private companies in coordination with the government. Same goes for internet infrastructure. Roads. Clean water. Medicine. Metallic tools. Money (like bills and coins). Urban planning.
Even stuff like security. They know they are safe in their land be use nobody will try to take it away from them, the government is taking care of that. They can call the police if someone in their community is murdered.
It's like an escape society, but not like a functioning globalized society. I'm not sure an anarchist society could create complex structures itself, so if there's any, I'd love to learn.
