i used to believe that anarchism was a realistic way to achieve those goals, but the more i read anarchist literature and talk and organize with anarchists the more convinced i become that anarchism itself is hopelessly utopian and does not provide a credible way to get from here to full anarchism/communism.

at the same time i have found that M-Lism and Maoism provide an incredibly useful analytical framework and have also been the guiding ideologies of nearly all of the successful socialist movements we have witnessed in the real world. even if i have serious critiques of most of socialist movements, its observable effectiveness has to count for something
