MODERATORS
It is certainly not without historical precedent. Anarchists were quite heavily involved with the Russian revolution for example, although many historical-revisionist marxist-leninists would prefer to downplay that.
MLs don't downplay the participation of Anarchists in the Russian Revolution, at least not from what I have seen.
I appreciate that you don't, I even have you tagged as "a polite marxist" so I must have had a positive interaction with you before, but many MLs I've debated before have downplayed anarchist contributions to the Russian revolution. I can understand how you might not encounter that very often since you're not putting yourself out there as an anarchist.
That's a fair point.
Historically it has never worked out very well for the anarchists, so I would hope that they have learned their lesson by now
Point taken, but although it may not have ended well for the anarchists I believe their involvement in the Russian revolution was for the better since it could easily have gone in a much worse direction without them. Anarchists are always putting themselves in harm's way to make this world a better place.
