Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

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.
