The crimethinc dude is such a liberal, i paraphrase as best as my memory allows since i wasn't listening to make a transcript "we have to use facebook to tear it down from the inside because an anarchist should not abstain from going to the town hall because it was built with tax payer money, the anarchist has to go to the town hall and confront the people discussing the issues that affects them." Different harping on the theme of "Speaking truth to power." Then they also say something along the lines of "The biggest threat to the state have always been those trying to make a less violent society, so that's why they allow violence, and banned our articles that are spreading a vision of a less violent and more peaceful society."

What they do say that makes sense, and it would be nice if they and all of us responded in proportion to this realization, that this attack is a first step in preparation for a greater crackdown. But as liberals all they talk about is Trump Trump Trump, fascists fascists fascists. And lamenting about "now we're living in something like original raw democracy from sparta, where candidate who wins is one whose crowd shout the loudest but it could soon descend into a rawer form of violence in the streets" and "we're seeing life become less and less sacred, we're going to see more violence". Wow! Someone put these democrats in office! With the naivety of saying "revolution is when a transformation occurs where people can go from suffering, to benefitting from each other's existence" Then go to begrudge democrats throwing them under the bus same as facebook did.

And catch this, what's bad about organizations and cadres is (not power, not hierarchies, not tedium)...wait for it...that they're not the whole of society which is what would be needed to make significant social change. And that's not all, the metric for the validity of an grass-roots organization is that it "produces more resources than what it consumes". What?! Is this a perpetual motion machine?! Revert entropy?! These mental gymnastics are worse than c4ss economic equations! Then cap it off with Sole gushing about "Hamilton" the musical and musical kids shows, something about making a hip-hop opera about Bakunin. I bet you think I'm making this up.

Then crimethinc guy says "les miserables" and Sole says "lay miserabahlays", that part is not important at all but it was kinda funny.
