      I didn’t say Marxists were anarchists or anarchists were Marxists. I stated that your issues with “Dengists” are just issues you have with Marxists coated in a less left-punchy way. Deng himself was a Marxist-Leninist working with the struggles brought about from the Gang of Four and the Cultural Revolution, socialism is still the mode of production in the PRC.

      As for “centering Marxism,” I was addressing your complaints of being dogpiled on by Marxists on an instance dominated by Marxists. There are many anarchist users on Lemmy.ml, and they share their views as well without resorting to thinly-veiled attacks on Marxists.

        Apparently these anarchists are in hiding because all I see is Dengists in every direction.

        If there are really anarchists reading this, perhaps scared to speak up because you don’t want to cross the Dengists who clearly control the discourse here:

        I didn’t write this essay for spiteful Marxists; rather, it’s a heartfelt tribute to young anarchists, urging you to persist in your pursuit of anarchy and resist the pressure from these patronising bores to conform to their conservative values. I see so many of you expressing frustration over Marxists mocking your positions. This essay serves as a form of prefiguration, encouraging newer anarchists to envision a more creative and liberating path than the all-too-common ancom to authcom pipeline.

        We all need to stop centering the egos of Marxists in everything we do.
