That seems largely reductive. To my understanding, conservatives favor little government to the extent that it allows corporations to gain power, whereas anarchism opposes corporate power to the same extent that it opposes all other hierarchies of subjugation.

Ok, no worries! I appreciate your time :)

Fair enough, I'll get back to you on that when I get a chance. I'm assuming you've read Lorenzo Komboa Ervin and Willam C. Anderson's work already, but if not, I highly recommend it.

workers who are reactionary from breaking the system? How do you ensure representation for the young and the disabled? I apologize for the sheer number of questions, I can research them myself if you can direct me to a source that would answer them.

Would this not result in the ruling class and the workers diverging more and more as the system continues, as has happened in the USSR for example? Or is the thought that by utilizing either elections or some form of sortition that you would prevent that? And in that case, how would you prevent...

I understand that dialectically, socialists would also exert change on the state apparatus, but how would one prevent them later rolling back those changes as they are changed by the state?

Ok I watched it and I have some thoughts. From my perspective the main debate between anarchists and Marxist-Leninists is the state, although I understand they also have different views of capitalism. So if we are to examine the material reality of the state, why should we not factor in the...

Cool! I'll watch that and get back to you on it.

So it's mostly a self-defense issue for you?

I did read that thread before I asked and I couldn't really figure out what parts of anarchism didn't stand up to Marxist theory for you. Could you elaborate a bit?

I was just looking through your posts and I noticed as lately as a year or two ago, you identified as an anarchist. What led you to change your beliefs? Were there specific questions or problems anarchism didn't allow you to answer?

Could you elaborate on how anarchism and conservatism resemble each other?

I'd like to dispute that, but that would require me knowing how you define reactionary and leftism. Could you elaborate?
