    …Anarchists don’t reject historical materialism? Historical/scientific cases for anarchism exist.

      Anarchists necessarily reject historical materialism. There is no basis for anarchism as it arises from capitalism, as I explained earlier. When I say scientific socialism, I do not merely mean a scientific case for socialism. That’s why I linked the articles for terms, so that I can be more clear in my point without having to explain what I mean by each line.

          Elaborate, my standpoint is generally the communist standpoint, with the communist critique. Can you refute my point?

              You said you could, though. I explained my problems with anarchism, can you refute the concepts of historical materialism, etc. or alternatively explain how anarchism indeed does follow these concepts?

              Either the concepts I agree with need to be refuted, or anarchism needs to justify itself as adhering to them, both are potential avenues for overcoming my strongest and simplest argument.
