But I'm not convinced the *goal* of the project is viable. Both of them seem, at times, to convince themselves that after the present order is overturned and replaced, the villains of their narratives won't simply rise up and try to take power, over and over again, forever.

"Both of them (anarchism and marxism)[..] convince themselves that after the present order is overturned and replaced, the villains of their narratives won't simply rise up and try to take power, over and over again, forever."

This is true of anarchism, but not of Marxism. 1/2

Marxism very clearly anticipates for counter-revolution and prepares for it with the establishment of a "dictatorship of the proletariat," a democratic socialist state where the proletarian class is the ruling class that would repress the capitalist class and prevent capitalism's restoration while simultaneously building socialism. 2/2

That's very interesting. I always read the "dictatorship of the proletariat" to be a stage along the way to the worker utopia on the other side.

Seriously though, why would you quote me and then remove the qualifier phrase "both of them *seem, at times* to..." ? Not sure what the point of quoting me is if you're going to change what I said. And also, like, my post is right there, so...?

Edit: And you slagged anarchists along the way. Starting to think you're in bad-faith, here.
