    How far have they gotten in that century? Because honestly the whole “at it for a century” thing reeks of failure.

    they got the fucking arch duke (and dozens of other heads of state). they blew up wallstreet. i think these are pretty big accomplishments.

      Oh, wow, so they killed some people and bombed wall street.

      How successful was that in achieving their political objectives?

        very. they inspired millions, which was the goal of those actions.

          Okay, so, the end result of inspiring people means that their political project succeeded? Their end goal was to inspire people? I thought their end goal was a classless, stateless society?

            right, but since we (they) eschew(ed) prefigurative theories, we (they) only organized to fight. the actual structure of society is up to the people who live in the world that we (they) make possible.

            that wasn’t their only goal, but it was one of them.

                i’d say they haven’t succeeded yet.

                    plainly, I’d say it’s state repression. they struck fear in their hearts in the state struck back.
