If anarchism has actually developed a framework for tackling state power, why has it never, ever seen lasting success in doing so?
Even in cases of abject state failure, it only sneaks in at the edges, never holds ground well, and is eventually crushed when state strengthens.

Anarchism has better humanist principles than most extant ideologies, but it just. keeps. losing.
It's bizarre in this context that anarchists are so fucking smug about holding the "correct" views. Does that *help*?

If you find any interesting reading about this kind of thing, let me know. Especially if shorter than a book: I'm doing my own book research and I'm trying not to do so much research that I put off writing the damn thing.
(also, I agree but don't know enough to propose options)
