We don't.

We may conclude without fear that the revolutionary formula cannot be Direct Legislation, nor Direct Government, nor Simplified Government, that it is No Government. Neither monarchy, nor aristocracy, nor even democracy itself, in so far as it may imply any government at all, even though acting in the name of the people, and calling itself the people.

No authority, no government, not even popular, that is the Revolution. Direct legislation, direct government, simplified government, are ancient lies, which they try in vain to rejuvenate. Direct or indirect, simple or complex, governing the people will always be swindling the people. It is always man giving orders to man, the fiction which makes an end to liberty; brute force which cuts questions short, in the place of justice, which alone can answer them; obstinate ambition, which makes a stepping stone of devotion and credulity...

I meant anarcho-socialists, not individualists like that guy.

Agree to disagree.

Since I have you here, what do you think about full process democracy?

I think it's basically what anarchists advocate for.

Russian democracy was installed with American assistance, so you know it's legit!

Of course Russia is a democracy but it's a bourgeois one. China is the only radical democracy in the world. It's normal for counter-revolutionaries to be curtailed in a socialist society. It's for the good of the people's democracy that the revolution isn't poisoned by NATO sympathizers.

Democracy only works by suppressing dissent

FINALLY, someone who supports that nonsense admits it outright!

Chinese democracy - although its likely better than how the west paints it - is still not what anarchists advocatee for. It involves parties, laws and majoritarian rule.
