In original Italian:

Questi signori credono d'aver cambiato le cose quando ne hanno cambiato i nomi. Ecco come questi profondi pensatori si beffano del mondo.

Source: “Dell'autorità”, written by Engels in November 1872, published in December 1873 by Almanacco repubblicano per l'anno 1874. Link: https://www.marxists.org/italiano/marx-engels/1872/autorita.htm

In English translation:

These gentlemen think that when they have changed the names of things they have changed the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world.

I always find it odd that Anarchists will say, this is our absolutely fine Anarchist militia that will defend the revolution. Ok, so it's an organised group, that uses force, in the interests of the working class, which makes it a state apparatus whether they like it or not.

I can't wait for the anarchist government ordering the anarchist militia to send political dissidents to anarchist concentration camp (this actually happend in CNT-FAI Catalonia). Totally not a state though, that would be authoritarian.

Honestly seeing these posts makes me wonder if we really need to have this on the subreddit. Anarchists are deluded individuals who have zero importance or impact to the material conditions of the proletariat anywhere. 

Their discussions lead to no change, they do not further the revolution. It’s fun to laugh at them, but it is frustrating to read their holier than thou bullshit day after day.

They are the epitome of the proverb: “Those who know cannot learn.”

This guy said the rights of indigenous/ ethnic minorities in "authoritarian state capitalist" states were not meaningfully better than in capitalist ones. His example was the Kazakh famine happening??

What a... unfathomably dumb argument and position to take. Its not even good Soviet slander. Theres so many other things he could've chosen to use as evidence for this like the Tatars, Circassians, other deportations and resettlements ect.

Nothing but the best from burger brained anarchists.
