Either the work of Lenin, State and Revolution, or the actual topics themselves. I'm an ML and have come to understand why the dictatorship of the proletariat is necessary. But my anarchist comrades do not want that because of their authority issues. However, I have yet to see a convincing argument.
Basically, can anybody give me a resource for the anarchist perspective that debunks why, with still a class society, it's fine to do smash the state day 1 after the revolution? And how we would effectively prevent the state from reforming while still transforming culture and society away from class divisions (and all the problems emerging out of it)?
Not looking to debate this here but looking more for something to education myself better. I didn't go through anarchism, so there's a lot I'm likely ignorant of.
That's kind of what I was afraid of. I'm genuinely interested in a compelling critique. Like I mentioned, I haven't seen one. I still sympathize with anarchists but I truly don't understand how we do the switch-a-roo to communism with a snap. Like, nothing in history has worked that way, let alone, it would seem, a transition from class society to classless, arguably the greatest achievement of all time when it's done.
But, yeah, this is probably wrong place to ask. I'll seek out another Lemmy I guess.
I suppose some people over on Hexbear might have some good stuff on that front. They have many anarchists in there, and they're usually of the more pragmatic sort and won't attack you for being "authoritarian" or fail to acknowledge colonialism. I think their equivalent community is !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net but they also have !anarchism@hexbear.net.
Edit: linking comms bugged out there.
