Generations
I have always been very critical of North American anarchism for its lack of viewing struggle as longterm/protracted and acting accordingly.
Perhaps it is the punk nihilism or the White lack-of-community that permeates anarchists but most contemporary anarchist threads seem more intent on either destroying now or waiting for collapse with little acknowledgement that the struggle could, and probably will, last several lifetimes.
One facet of this is manifest in the seemingly overwhelming desire for anarchists to not have children or to even advocate zero births... As if that was a realistic form of struggle- or, as the case may be, defeat that humanity supposedly deserves.
