I play a bit hard and fast with "socialist" and "anarchists" in the post". Also, certainly there are enough shared views between the two traditions to have a fruitful dialogue. But there are some important disagreements between the two traditions as well, in particular on questions regarding how to organize, and this comes out most clearly in disagreements about the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, etc. <br /><br />The recent arguments on the UK left between Laurie Penny and members of the SWP bears out some of this disagreement. To be sure, it's not always one between anarchists and socialists; sometimes it's among socialists. But I think there's a real disagreement here.thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268192967377248928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058072377999486184.post-24731485818582491882011-01-12T17:23:09.903-06:002011-01-12T17:23:09.903-06:00I just want to make clear that not all anarchists ...I just want to make clear that not all anarchists are opposed to all hierarchy. Yes, you say at one point that "some anarchists" are opposed to all hierarchy, but most of this seems to be oriented as "the anarchist position vs. the socialist position," but it is my understanding that most anarchists consider themselves to be socialists as well, so the idea of "anarchists vs. socialists" doesn't even make sense and anyway, it's not like all socialists or anarchists have the same opinions (though obviously anarchists are all going to agree with the abolition of the state and capitalism followed by the public ownership of the means of production, while socialists may only agree with the latter point).Hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852692492073712625noreply@blogger.com
