Now you're taking the debate back to the 1876 split of the First International. Centralists vs decentralists, stateist vs anarchist and which side of that fence you're on.
"Bakunin characterised Marx's ideas as authoritarian and argued that if a Marxist party came to power its leaders would end up as oppressive as the ruling class they had fought against"

In Boston hundreds of students and workers demanded the release of detained student Rumeysa Ozturk.
Everyday I walk outside of my home much to my neighbours #hypocritial and #bigoted disgust that I am not "already dead" as I keep hearing them harp at times at my address is another day of laughing at that #bigot piece of shit that calls itself a #human.
All over the West, free speech is falling victim to pro-Israel supporters in government and institutions, and anything related to the Gaza genocide is being severely punished and suppressed with the blanket accusation of 'antisemitism'.

We can go back even farther. The #unitedstates is a #racist nation founded on #colonialism #exploitation #slavery and #oppression.
There is no such thing as a "peaceful" civilization. Civilization is *always* built on oppression, theft, genocide (whether human or non-human). Rule of law is always at the threat of having a gun pointed in your face. People need to quit thinking civilization is some kind of benign state that keeps a peaceful world.
I hate to bring up everybody's hated FBI snitch and transphobe but this film (despite the messenger) made by @franklinlopez covering Derrick Jensen's anti-civ thoughts, is still apt. Ignore the messenger and take in the message.
I say it again in all-caps in case it didn't sink in: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PEACEFUL CIVILIZATION

And yet, here we are.

"Anarchists are quick to recognize that #racism, #sexism, and #homophobia will not simply go away upon the #collapse of #capitalism and they must be fought here and now. These same #anarchists, however, are often unwilling to apply this logic to #speciesism. If we want total #freedom, we must cultivate new relationships in our everyday lives. This means fighting #oppression on every line, including the line of species. Refusing to do so is not coherent with #anarchist and #autonomist practices."
