I don’t think people understand the why of “critical support” here.
When people say “critical support of Assad”, they are not saying “I want to live under the Assad regime” or “I agree with Assad’s politics”.
They are saying there is no alternative to Assad that is capable of resisting American imperialism to the same degree AND has good politics.
Yeah this is the biggest example of why the “pro-Luigi” adventurists are wrong. The biggest moron in Congress agrees with your theory of change. Take a good look in the mirror.
I’m an ancomm and “direct action” without proper tactics and direction is pointless. The illegalist and egoist tendencies have been widely denounced by almost every other large tendency historically. Kropotkin himself denounced illegalism and egoism. These tendencies are more or less dead from a theory perspective beyond the turn of the 20th century. It’s 4KidsEntertainment. America was literally the last gasp of these bullshit tendencies thanks to Benjamin Tucker. Egoism and illegalism have never actually gotten anything done, the strain of Anarchism in America that has delivered the goods is Wobblies anarcho-syndicalism which was literally based around organization.
If it wasn’t for Bernie I would have never gotten those post loss Harris fundraiser texts!
