I had a discussion with @[email protected] recently where they insisted that Anarchists on Hexbear accept Lenin's analysis of Imperialism and therefore all support "Actual Existing Socialist" states such as Cuba, USSR and I guess North Korea as well.
In fact, they argued it's the reason most anarchists of Hexbear don't like to discuss anarchism away from hexbear, explicitly because outside anarchists do not support "AES".
So I'm curious to see what your thoughts are on this. If you're an anarchist who supports "AES" how do you square this support with the conflict these states have with anarchist theory on hierarchy?
Can we make a list of countries that are AES without having fascist / totalitarian characteristics?
Yes. Here we go:
I have seen Cowbee write AES, but I thought the term was specifically to avoid something like NK counting against their arguments. I don't understand how NK is AES? I'll have to ask them which places are AES at all next time I see them use it.
North Korea doesn't even claim that Juche is socialism anymore.
