"attack activism" hasn't done much, especially in comparison to the online and print "activity". On the other hand, indeed, it's my biggest critique of the early past decades uprisings in that they created NOTHING, while they were not the creative nothing. Just privileged White kids having an outburst of releasing their social anxiety doesn't create anything, and most of the rioters are not interested in changing their conditions coz they might know theyse conditions were already fine... they go hang out and mate in their same-age polycules in generic bands that are copy-pasted from the next band. The generic culture of conformity (NO IT'S NOT JUST HETERONORMATIVITY, ID pols fucktards) is one of the aspects we yet failed to "ATTACK".

How can it be attacked? By overturning the conditions that sustain it, and render them useless, I guess. Not a Global Revolution stupid delusion of grandeur overturning, but yea, things like bolos and "exarkhia" (even if Exarkhia totally sucks as an anarchist zone, only special to American tourists (lol) and other people who haven't seen better as anarchist social arragenements). That's what it really is about. This is why the squats have been attacked repeatedly for years in Europe and hardly even exist in NA. Or why most punk communities in NA are a bunch of intoxicated consumerist morons who don't last beyond 27 years old either because they die from overdose like street rock stars or become yuppies.

Why does an insurgency never lasts beyond a sudden punctual manifestation? It's very simple. Because those taking part are just not interested/motivated/driven to make it become permanent present that undermines the world around.

It's not much about armchair vs strugglismo dichotomy, even if the former is less likely than the latter to bring about what's above. And unlikely positive still better than a complete false positive. Anyways that's another problematic dichtonomy and I just see anarchist as someone who's both theory and action, or theory in reality. Whatever hatchet divides these two spaces is the State's hatchet.
