Do any anarchists here support "AES"?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I had a discussion with @Cowbee@lemmy.ml recently where they insisted that Anarchists on Hexbear accept Lenin's analysis of Imperialism and therefore all support "Actual Existing Socialist" states such as Cuba, USSR and I guess North Korea as well.
In fact, they argued it's the reason most anarchists of Hexbear don't like to discuss anarchism away from hexbear, explicitly because outside anarchists do not support "AES".
So I'm curious to see what your thoughts are on this. If you're an anarchist who supports "AES" how do you square this support with the conflict these states have with anarchist theory on hierarchy?
Is Anarcho-Leninism a thing now? It sounds as antithetical as an atheist regularly going to the [place of cult] to pray.
Since they're all over the place in that other post already, some Hexbear anarchists can surely take a little time off from dunking in order to explain how they deal with such a contradiction, and what it means exactly for them.
