The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Please excuse me but I do not like to watch videos, especially in foreign language, since my listening skills are bad.

all these are suppressed by all states and therefore it is difficult to implement

For me, it is more than obvious that from this and other reasons, anarchism is an utopia and not realistic in the real world. Thank you for the effort of presenting me the ideas, but anarchism never lifted millions from poverty as ML and never was a serious state like USSR or PRCh.

Thanks for addressing at least some of the points I was making. If you prefere to read, you should check out "Debt" by David Graeber and "The Dawn of Everything" by David Graeber and David Wengrow. Or shorter essays by Graeber you can find in the anarchist library

And obviously we will never know what would have happened if the USSR didn't destroy Makhnovshchina in Ukraine or the anarchosyndicalists in Spain. But reading your comments I see why they did... and the future of Rojava is still open. Let's see. And obviously anarchists never build a state, that's in the name...
