I don't think you're going to find it easy to convince a Marxist to become an Anarchist by linking Anarchist theory.

Not theory, refutation of the bullshit that anarchism necessitates forced labor. I don't care what that poster thinks, I care that readers aren't misled.

That is theory, what are you talking about?

Their point wasn't that Anarchism necessitates forced labor, but that historically Anarcho-Communists have employed Labor Camps, such as in Revolutionary Catalonia.

Examples are mentioned in With the Peasants of Aragon.

They are making the point that Anarchists are more than willing to be authoritarian when it benefits them and is immediately practical, despite cloaking themselves in an "anti-authority" robe, historically.

Rich for Marxists to throw out "anarchism has never worked when tried" lol. (Also isn't true, see link).

But granted, maybe there's a more charitable interpretation of their comments.

I didn't throw that out, and neither did OurToothbrush.
