Well, calling someone a communist doesn't always have the same negative connotations that it used to have. Because of that, they wanted another term that means the same thing but has negative connotations, which is why they picked up the term "tankie", while disregarding the actual meaning of the term.

It's really annoying, because the term was actually really useful, but is far less meaningful than it used to be.

Ideas about personal connections and your mind are also incredibly important.

If you don't understand how humans work, then you won't be able to create an ideology that works. Economics aren't everything.

Sure, a lot of his works weren't particularly good, but he tried to encompass a psychological component into his works, which hadn't been done previously. His assertions were almost all wrong, but the fact that he tried had massive impacts on socialism as a whole.

In that sense I see him fulfilling a similar role to Freud: He wasn't correct, but his ideas opened up a new direction, which lead the broader field to actually think about and look into that stuff. Writing against Stirner made Marxism encompass some important aspects, like the historical materialism itself, that might not have existed had Stirner not existed.

Stirner was a pioneer, but also mostly wrong. He was important for the development of socialism and for his time, but is now almost useless.

No. It's official buttplug.io support.

As you might have guessed from that name, it's not about controllers.

The anarchists worked together with the soviets, going as far as actually being a part of the red army and fighting together against the whites. Tensions between the two groups only rose because bolchevik commanders repeatedly attacked their autonomy.

That unity lasted until the reds had beaten the whites in moscow, after which they just invaded the Makhnovshchina.

The anarchists weren't all that nice and had oftentimes critiqued the bolshevists way of implementing communism, but they still worked together and tried to work with the Bolsheviks on equal footing. The Bolsheviks on the other hand repeatedly tried to undermine their autonomy and just betrayed them as soon as they thought that they didn't need them anymore and thus caused a civil war that killed 1.5 million people.

What exactly do you want a source for?

The claim that the soviets caused the conflict because of "material conditions" was a joke that was meant to make fun of tankies.

But you quoted "forcing Lenin to order Trotsky", which is why I don't exactly know if that's what you're talking about.

Hiding letters behind numbers is a pretty old tactic and wasn't invented by nazis.
