Correct. I’ve read quite a bit on anarchism, I must’ve missed the part where individuals unilaterally declare the objective correctness of their own views, eschewing all pretense of democratic discussion and collaboration. Must’ve been in a particularly obscure treatise since that’s diametrically opposed to the principles of anarchism.
maybe you can find the parts of Democratic party principles and action that are incompatible with anarchism on your next trip to the library (it’s all of them)
Well when you have a functional strategy to displace the two parties that win basically every election, we can have that conversation. For now, the Democratic party principles are somewhat less incompatible with leftism than the Republican party’s. Maybe read up on basic political efficacy while you’re developing that functional anarchist strategy.
when you’re ready to admit anarchists see themselves as right, so (they must believe) Democrats are wrong, I can keep helping you learn about anarchist praxis and organizing principles.
Praxis is precisely what’s lacking here. The goalposts remain where they have always been: toppling the neo-liberal Democrats is a useful action if and only if it doesn’t ensure domination by the fascist Republicans. If you have a plan to do that, you probably should have led with that. A coalition of a few thousand terminally online anarchists is not politically useful organization.
is reading. if you don’t know something, you could learn about it instead of talking it if ignorance

wait till you find out what anarchists think about voting!
Anytime you’re ready with that workable alternative strategy.
oh nice. shifting the goalposts.

still obstinately avoiding learning.
