My politics are like “Revolutionary anti-authoritarian (but not necessarily anarchist, some Marxists/Trots/leftcoms/etc and so on are also okay, and like a lot of post-left anarchists/individualist anarchists aren’t) anti-capitalists who are willing to adapt their theoretical positions when presented with evidence of how they work in practice and are basically good hearted and want the best for people

“ should all work together to create revolution and then cooperate to create a better society, because ultimately they should care more about how their policies work than theoretical purity.

so what you’re saying is you’re a materialist, not an idealist, just like Marx? same tbh but I think there’s not an implementation of the state which is capable of being benevolent and non-tyrannical

I don’t know like… what qualifies as a state, because it becomes a weird semantic point…

funny because I have The Marx Dictionary in my hands and it defines the state as “the political expression of class rule, conditioned by the economic structure prevailing in civil society” which is a fine definition but I would definitely like to add to it Max Weber’s concept of “monopoly on violence,” which I think is crucial.

Yeah, the monopoly on violence is important
