The Debate That Split Anarchism [Platform vs Synthesis]
An analysis of the 1926 organizational platform and the debate surrounding how anarchists should organize in the future.
In this video I outline some points of contention regarding the debate, along with some proposals of modern solutions. This is a complicated subject and its unlikely any single one of us have a perfect solution to organizing, and I in no way believe my idea is the best. We need to open up conversations about our structure and goals, and hopefully come to a mutually beneficial solution collectively.
