It honestly feels like this is a cheap rhetorical dismissal because you don’t want to compare what the actual material benefits of socialist revolutions are vs anarchist revolutions.
that’s not what you proposed to use as a metric. i’m not sure how to quantify them and, frankly, or what a good measure would be, i guess.
i do know that i don’t trust anyone else to decide how i keep myself fed and safe. given the choice in constructing a revolution, i would empower individuals to a maximum degree and destroy concentrations of power wherever they’re found.

Thats some right libertarian hyper-individualist hogwash. Stop being alienated from your fellow workers.
So, let’s say the workers form Soviets. Those Soviets have to be destroyed, right?
i have no problem working with my neighbors. i have big problems with someone tellingme how we should do that.

if we’re working together I’m going to say how I think we should work.

implying that I don’t want to change the status quo doesn’t change whether I do.

You’re starting to sound like the liberals that tell me to vote for Biden.
I’m the authority on what I want. there’s no evidence that you could produce that would undercut my claim.
it is going to depend, isn’t it? are the soviets operated with consent and consensus?
i already explained i have no illusions that i can dictate what it’s going to look like after the revolution. i do know what i won’t tolerate.

Is this material to whether the soviet is concentrating power? Either way you have a small group of people making legislative and executive actions.
a system that operates with consent and consensus has no authority.
Okay, you need to actually define authority, because I feel like each anarchist I’ve encountered has a different definition.
I know this was lazy. but I think it’s good enough.
edit: oh. this is a bit better
