Both traditions have had great thinker and revolutionaries who lived and died side by side. Rather than rehashing century old debates in comments, forums, and Twitter, it might be a better idea to read what they had to say about each other. In general, we need to read more theory that isn’t our “chosen” tradition.
Marxist Literature Anarchist Literature
I saw a thread where someone said they didn’t know this much anarchist theory actually existed. That’s clearly a sign that we need to be better educated. Both the sides are filled with people who lived and died for the sake of freedom. There is no point diminishing these revolutionaries for the sake of internet fights. We need to learn from them all. In fact, if we want to beat Capital, which even they failed to do, we have learn from them and then go further. I think, and I maybe wrong, but I think the only way for that is if we can somehow unite again.
So, read theory, but not just your theory.
Plenty of anarchists literally go join revolutions. Lots in Rojava. And Thomas Sankara is not controversial either. Like, we cannot browbeat anyone into our ideology. I’d suggest go read anarchist critiques (actual revolutionary anarchists who wrote theory, not twitter) about the AES from their time. In fact, there were lots of people, not just anarchists, critical of AES in the past. is Rosa Luxembourg not a comrade?
That’s cool, I should say I absolutely consider anarchists comrades but I was more thinking of people like (twitch debate bro, you know the one).
