democracy

it's the biggest entryist flimflam anarchy has ever witnessed

they're swear up and down that their democracy is real democracy but all they're doing is opening the door to government and all the other -cracys that come with it. If they're going to conflate anarchy with rule of the majority, of course they're going to see it as a pro-government, pro-state philosophy. The Greek word democracy (demokratia) literally means "popular government" or "state of the people".

There are more social democrats calling themselves anarchists now than at any time in history. And honestly they're barely even social democrats since they're non-stop campaigning for a far right cop like Biden. They're conservatives at best.

Most certainly. The rotating dictatorship system is impossible to topple because every 4-5 years the citizenry are asked to consent on who rules them (regardless of whether their vote has any real impact) and this placates them somehow. As long as that consent is being asked for, people will put up with all manner of abuses so long as they know they'll get another chance to choose their oppressor in a few years, regardless of how binary the choice ends up being. That's why fascism and communism flopped - people got sick of not having a say and rose up. Democracy is the most successful totalitarian system by far, and has done the most damage, both to the planet, to people's lives, and to the collective consciousness. People are so thoroughly indoctrinated into the democracy cult that even "anarchists" sing its praises.
