Correct John. Mild disobedience isn't tolerated.
So in the absence of a large bloc of disobedient people, I guarantee there will be no Anarchist revolution on the next few years. The numbers do not exist.
I'm reading Inventing the Future by Srnicek and Williams. They discuss these themes.
The left isn't going to overthrow capitalism with folk politics, localism, horizontalism.
Why? These tactics do not scale up. You need a mass. You need structures capable of resistance. They refer to Occupy movement and how that failed.
Anyway, I believe in reality as it is, right now. And right now, there is no external bloc in existence that can challenge power apart from 500,000 labour members and union members. But nobody is calling for them to mobilise in any way of mass resistance, strike etc
We are in reality here. Until new moments emerge, the Parliamentary route is the only one available.
