      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.

            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.

                    you don’t know the future anymore than I. you don’t know what the next revolution will look like or what would start it.
