Memes

I said "burning the term communism" as in you can't use it anymore without thinking of bolshevism. The meme and the comment above mine said communism, not Marxism.

Generally, "Communism" is attached to Communists, the vast majority of whom have been Marxists of various stripes, the most relevent among them being Marxist-Leninists. Communism wasn't stolen from the Anarchists, Communism was attached firmly to the groups with major historical relevance.

Additionally, "burning" implies betrayal and scorn.

Finally, OP is a Marxist, not an Anarchist, and the comment you replied to specifically mentioned critique of Utopianism, indicating Marxist analysis and critique.

Otherwise you have proven my point that you have no understanding what so ever in his theory. He writes expansively about history and about the revolution and transition. Just because he doesn't belong to your tradition, you lump him together with people he had little in common with.

That's all well and good. Writing about transition, revolution, and history is nice. However, ultimately, he was an Anarchist. He rejects the Marxist theory of Socialism as it emerges from Capitalism throughout historical development, and took the idea that Communism can be established outright. This is a rejection of Scientific Socialism, and an embracement of Utopian Socialism, I remind you as this meme and the original commenter both were speaking along Marxist lines.

I never said I wasn't. I even elaborated on that I reject Marxist Historical Materialism. What even is your point here?

My point is that you inserted your rejection when it wasn't relevant as though it was.

Well, did he? He didn't write about history in Mutual Aid? And Conquest of Bread is not about a literal conquest but about adopting it directly? Do you even think before you write?

He of course wrote about history, and the necessity of Revolution, but rejected Historical Materialism and Scientific Socialism, instead taking a Utopian view. He believed you could jump straight to Communism through a brief transitional period.

You're being needlessly antagonistic and rude, by the way.
