    See how absurd this statement is?

    Liberalism is literally the ideology of the status quo now.

    Is it absurd to point that out, too?

    Prefiguration is a theory of praxis

    Soooo… the failure of anarchism to actually preconfigure anything since the end of WW2 in the face of massive liberal counter-insurgency is perhaps tied to anarchist’s theories about preconfiguration not being remotely good enough - if they even exist at all?

      What’s absurd is to claim that a radical socioeconomic reconfiguration can’t happen because it hasn’t happened yet.

      Anarchist prefigure things all the time. Mutual Banks, Cooperatives, Anarcho-syndicalist unions, food banks, soup kitchens and so much more. Don’t know what the fuck you’re on about.
