    Unfortunately, many of the anarchists that I’ve encountered online do seem to be under the vague impression that the dictatorship of the proletariat is some sort of personal choice, rather than a historical inevitability. They don’t seem to understand that you first have to abolish the conditions that make it so probable (notably capitalists’ political power) before you can convince others that it’s unnecessary. Arguing with or outright pestering communists isn’t gonna cut it.

    I don’t see its prevention as a particularly worthwhile goal anyway. I’m so tired of the status quo that I would have eagerly settled for the Paris Commune. Like the Bolivarian Republic, there’s little to do about it other than working however you can to continue raising your people’s living standards; attacking it would only alienate the lower‐class people who do support it.

    P.S. the Paris Commune suppressed ‘freedom of speech’ too, just like the monstrous Mao “Che” Stalin did back in 1917.
