"everything that the world encompasses"? No … no, not at all. Just the elephant in the room for social dynamics that easily explains that "why" you tossed out there. Why Marx? No culty deification of the guy here, he just answered those questions a long time ago: here's all the ways capitalism will destroy itself and much else and why that should interest you if you're not a millionaire. Full stop. Basic, basic stuff imo. Not my intention to make it a bigger deal than it is.

"according to lbc, MAOISTS EVERYWHERE OMG!!!" Yes, that's just as silly as it ever was. I was originally drawn to this site mainly to mock this paranoid, mccarthyist fantasy. As MURIKA as apple pie, that shit is. Please imagine me hanging around here, compulsively scoffing at the ridiculous notion that "the reds" are what anarchists need to worry about. Post leftism in general has a long, cringey history of barking up this tree… at nothing. Whether they're legitimately unhinged like Bob Black or using the phantom red menace to distract from how functionally useless most of their theories are. Still! I like this place. I've learned a lot and owe a huge debt to lbc crew for that understanding.

3. You maybe missed my point? Every "scene" has shit people. You can't have social gatherings with dilettantes and clueless hangarounds, dragging the collective intelligence down. Why single out anarchism for this dynamic? People are people.
