stop pretending you're an anarchist, no one is buying it.
your goading and taunting is self-serving, and no one cares about your motives.
anarchists have nothing to do in determining whether a 2nd americancivil war happens or not. the first (and for the foreseeable future, the only) american civil war came and went having nothing to do with anarchists.
i don't see how anyone can look at something like the Rwandan Genocide and think it holds any liberatory potential.
This article was an abolitionist appeal to anarchists, and a poor attempt at that.
It calls itself anarchist to avoid initial knee-jerk rejection.
I think it's better to acknowledge this is what we're facing in this context and put it out in the open that pretend it doesn't exist.

Many factions will wave the anarchist flag to gain supporters to their cause, whether it be factions against the current State, or counter-insurgency efforts put forth by the State itself, or even different interest groups. These will present clear paths to channel reformist enthusiasms. At the same time different factions may receive aid from other States, trying to promote further fracturing along pre-existing lines and tensions.

it may not get that hot, those looking for reparations or repatriations may get it in the form of reforms or even a relabled UBI. those looking for "change" and "hope" may get a green (or orange) new deal. afro-futurism will be apple's next product line, ICE, prisons, and police are many of the services to be privatized ("abolished" and "defunded") and offered by amazon and alphabet (google) subsidiaries.
