Either the work of Lenin, State and Revolution, or the actual topics themselves. I’m an ML and have come to understand why the dictatorship of the proletariat is necessary. But my anarchist comrades do not want that because of their authority issues. However, I have yet to see a convincing argument.

Basically, can anybody give me a resource for the anarchist perspective that debunks why, with still a class society, it’s fine to do smash the state day 1 after the revolution? And how we would effectively prevent the state from reforming while still transforming culture and society away from class divisions (and all the problems emerging out of it)?

Not looking to debate this here but looking more for something to education myself better. I didn’t go through anarchism, so there’s a lot I’m likely ignorant of.

I have read it, and I have 0 idea why anarchists insist on using Baukin as there primary source when the guy was a raging anti-semite, racist and basically his entire career was him seething that no one took him as seriously as Marx while he ranted and raved about the ‘parastic jewish nation’ (totally not a cope at his perception of marx being a jew) and betrays what anarchisms roots are; which is a 3rd path response to a perceived jewish state grabbing for power.
