Leftism has been dominated by shades of two theoretical tendencies: Marxism and Anarchism. Marxists and anarchists have been philosophical and political archenemies since the First International where Karl Marx and the Communists effectively alienated the Anarchist faction of the Workingmen’s Association. Anarchists were brutally suppressed in many so-called communist revolutions (most notably the October Revolution where Lenin dismissed libertarian leftists as “infantile”) and there are many historical and political grudges between them to this day. Despite their many differences, they share a common disdain for capitalism (and the state systems that reinforce it through the oppression of workers and the guarding of bourgeois interests) and advocate for its overthrow.
In this essay, I would like you to do three things: 1) situate the Marxist and anarchist critique with regards to the question of liberalism as a guiding “super structural” legitimation of capitalism. How are they similar on this question? 2) Identify where liberalism might be reconciled with anarchism and how anarchism might be seen as the proper inheritor of classical liberalism in an industrial and post-industrial age. 3) Analyze and contrast how Marxism and Anarchism share a devastating critique of capitalism and how they approach the question of revolution (and living revolutionarily) in light of this critique. 4) Compare how “anarchist” is Marxist theory and how “Marxist” are anarchist tendencies with respect to question of alienation and exploitation.
In your essay, be sure to show an understanding of the assigned authors as well as the Marxist and anarchist traditions.
