        plainly, I’d say it’s state repression. they struck fear in their hearts in the state struck back.

          That’s incredibly unspecific, repression is one of the main things states do and is a broad category.

              I feel like they probably shouldn’t have done those things then, if they weren’t able to sustain themselves in the face of that sort of state repression like communists could.

                I know you disagree with anarchist tactics. That’s what our whole discussion is about.

                  Do you not also disagree with those tactics, given how spectacularly they’ve failed to amount to anything material?

                    no. I think they could have won 100 years ago and I think they could win tomorrow. I like the tactic. people can be inspired and it can happen in an instant.
