A lot of what Marx wrote about the two stage revolution was written in direct response to the failure of the Paris Commune. Marx also saw socialism as the inevitable successor to capitalism. But there are socialist traditions that predate his theories and there's nothing to say he was wrong on some things.
Absolutely. Look at what the Bolsheviks did to the Makhnovshchina.
Hell yeah. Democratic Confederalism, Proudohnism, Council Communism... there are so many potential systems of anti-authoritarian socialism that have failed to flourish due to circumstance or conspiracy that could make life so much better for so many people.
As a libertarian I guess that means your cool with selling babies? Removing minimum age work laws? Stopping government waste on stupid shit like regulating food purity?
For a glimpse at a libertarian society just read The Poison Squad, The Orphan Train and The Jungle. It's a fucking nightmare.
This is beside the point but also fuck Trotsky. Trotsky’s basic idea consisted of applying military methods in the economic field and of turning the entire population of Russia into a vast army of labour, destroying the trade unions and forcing the workforce into jobs they could not leave without the permission of high authorities. Any shirking of duty or unauthorized absence from work was to be punished on the same basis as desertion from the army. Fuck that guy.
But also fuck capitalism. It's horrific.
Eh not sure about that

My extended family's ancestors stole land from indigenous people that their descendants sold to provide a comfortable upper middle class life for their family. Fuck them for destroying the livelihood, culture and lives of those people. If people want to piss on their graves I wouldn't stop them.
