Genuine question: What would the alternative be then?
Socialism has only become slightly popular in recent years and it’s still incredibly niche. There isn’t enough support for a revolution and it’s highly unlikely there ever will unless conditions change massively. And even if a revolution happens anarchist will not (or at least should not) work with MLs as authoritarianism is everything I (and hopefully we) stand against. A ruling class will never share the same class interests as the workers.
But we have gotten stuff pushed though with a local anarchist group and the only time that will work is when liberals are in power (hopefully along with the more left parties as is the case usually). Also changing the minds of liberals is a lot easier than conservatives and the best way has been to show them that socialist policies will work better. If our nationalist, conservative and fascist parties form a coalition all we get is to lose right, our platform gets a lot smaller and weaker and we are just stuck loosing power until the next election.
An added bonus is that you can actually do both. While advocating for socialist policies we can get support for a revolution if needed in the future as good policies will move liberals over more as capitalism fails them but if right wing parties are in power it’s much harder to build any support for anything.
Yea, yea, I have seen the talking points before. I’m sure you just have plenty of legitimate questions about how many were killed and since the historic records arent very complete it can’t be that many, right. And even if they were killed then it was justified. I have gone through this song and dance before and it’s the same tune every time and it’s not interesting anymore.
Ah yes, the same point 30 other have brought up as well even though what was said was who they would think the leader is going to be which they, to no ones surprise, said the leader of the opposition, ya know, the guy who would be in power if their system worked like it should. That’s like someone saying they like the guy as leader that got all the votes.
