      You can’t prove something that hasn’t existed. You’re arguing against theory by saying it hasn’t been put into practice, disallowing it from being put into practice to be tested. This is the same anti-leftist, anti-development argument. The theory itself needs to be discounted.

      You’re not making any sort of analysis, just sticking your head in the sand and pretending that primitive anarchism is the same as modern anarchism, and moreover are taking a mystical approach, rather than a practical approach. That’s why I’m saying you ignore Materialism, rather than arguing on the basis that humans are driven by material conditions, you instead argue that since one unrelated tangential structure turned into another, that Anarchism itself is bunk.

      We aren’t going to agree here, clearly.

          Materialism is doing away with the idea that history is shaped by ideas and will, rather than material conditions. It isn’t going against proposed theory by targeting unrelated theory.

          You’re arguing that you cannot make predictions or try new things, despite validity of the theoretical basis, on the grounds that it hasn’t yet been done.

          You’re definitely not getting it.

              Materialism is quite literally the position that history is shaped by physical, material conditions, and reality, rather than the will or thoughts of individuals.

              Claiming that I don’t understand what Materialism is when you’ve been arguing against Primitive Communism as though it’s Modern Anarchism is absurd.
