=== Molecular Marxisms and anarchism === Within meta-Marxist models, there are a few concepts or motifs that come up which appear to resemble anarchism. Notably, the term "molecular" may sometimes be used to suggest the concept of separate free-floating individual objects interacting together through nothing but themselves to produce objects and processes without external intervention. Within the meta-Marxist framework the intended connotation of these kinds of terms is that every single physical object operates under physics or something highly resembling it β even in the case of people and social graphs, which are hypothesized to operate under their own scale of [[E:existential materialism|societal physics]]. When small-scale processes composed of clouds of individuals or clouds of social groups are described as "molecular" and compared to particle interactions in organic chemistry or quantum physics, the comparison is not meant to be a flowery metaphor to be interpreted multiple ways, but is instead meant to be largely literal, saying that the mathematics of actual molecules and the mathematics of human societies either literally show the same patterns or show only small literal similarities while in other ways departing from each other entirely. In short, meta-Marxism and molecularization are strictly Materialist forms of analysis. The concepts of dialectical materialism are honored by reconstructing them through the basic mathematical concepts of [[E:special relativity|special relativity]] in order to produce [[E:existential materialism|existential materialism]] and "[[E:coarse graining (physics)|fine-grain]]" the dialectical materialist framework; the concepts of historical materialism are honored by starting at physical models of spacetime and existential-materialist models of social links in order to represent historical periods as sequential or parallel material objects. Meta-Marxism leaves little room for considering [[E:Idealism|ideas themselves]] as objects that physically act in the material world without first identifying particular physical objects which allow them to be encoded into the physical world (brains, books, [[E:Social-Graph System (meta-Marxism)|socially-linked groups of individuals]] specifically [[E:Social-Philosophical System (meta-Marxism)|linked together on condition of accepting the idea]]) and then giving at least some hypothesis as to how. Toward this end, and this end specifically, meta-Marxism may sometimes describe processes that take place "outside The State", in order to literally explain {{em|how}} objects which come to be in conflict with a current State or republic can ever come to exist when a republic superficially appears to cover everything inside it (in order to descriptively model the historical emergence of Communist revolutions, Trotskyist movements, or anarchisms), or may describe processes that create [[E:anarchy (meta-Marxism)|stationary combinations of heterogeneous elements]] that come together materially in a single [[E:Bauplan element (meta-Marxism)|physically-described social structure]] in order to model history as the [[E:red anarchology|formation, destruction, and transformation of small-scale structures]]. All of this is an artifact of meta-Marxism attempting to [[E:coarse graining (physics)|fine-grain]] the concept of modeling history to the point that historical materialism can accurately and impartially represent all ideologies and political factions and give an honest assessment of which ones are the most effective at their goals. Meta-Marxism could in theory be used to create a "meta-anarchist" model of how to successfully build a particular anarchism, or how to operate each of some number of parallel Marxisms and anarchisms so that the Marxisms could achieve peaceful coexistence with the anarchisms, but this in itself does not mean that meta-Marxism particularly endorses anarchism over Marxism. With this in mind, one way to look at meta-Marxism is that it is a total replacement for anarchist theories. Anarchist philosophy frequently appeals to small-scale concepts including the individual and [[E:communities (anarchism)|"the community"]], but outside that it almost inevitably descends into nebulous and difficult-to-understand Idealist models of how exactly all of its small-scale elements are supposed to go together. In the worst cases, the process of creating anarchy will be modeled as disparate clouds of nebulous non-physical ideals connecting through [[E:Rhizome (schizoanalysis)|nebulous non-physical intuition-processes]] to form nebulous incomprehensible result states. In these situations, the purpose of meta-Marxism would be to take every one of these vaguely-described processes and replace them with actionable material models, thus either ending up with a molecularized anarchism or a Molecular Marxism. At the point an anarchism is molecularized by turning it into Materialism, the difference between these two categories of civilizations or societies would be small enough that the distinction between "Marxism" and "anarchism" might not even matter any more β in terms of the two coming into conflict over different underlying worldviews, both would have become [[E:meta-Marxism|"violet" philosophies]] working toward the same goal and they no longer would. A Molecular Marxism is statist in that it would have realistic models of when States emerge and be willing to create a State for the purpose of ending wars and doing diplomacy. However, a Molecular Marxism does not seek or promise the ability to assert itself as better than other countable physical instances of Marxism or govern those instances. Molecular Marxisms seek to create an [[E:stationary combination of heterogeneous elements (meta-Marxism)|anarchy]] of countable instances of Marxism in approximately the same sense that early Liberal republics created anarchies (parliaments and constitutions) composed of countable local states. In some senses, there is nothing about a Molecular Marxism that should be disagreeable to anarchists, at least if they are [[E:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition|blue anarchists]]; it creates an orderly system with particular principles in which people are grouped into identities and then the identities peacefully join together to combine into a stationary combination of equal heterogeneous elements, the major difference with charcoal anarchisms being that this "anarchy" process can happen at a large scale rather than primarily at town-sized scales. As well, compared with Trotskyism, Molecular Marxisms do not assume they will all appear at the same time or combine into a single officialized structure; they plan for long drawn-out processes of assembling modular federations, and for the possibility of several "poles" of federation assembling separately before any era of potentially forming a single global structure. In this sense Molecular Marxisms should theoretically be appealing in terms of the [[E:Zinovievism is an anarchism (meta-Marxist hypothesis)|orange-]] and charcoal-anarchist concept of "decentralization". Molecularization means in literal terms that a proletarian civilization or anarchism forms around no particular center, although this "decentralization" is viewed specifically through the lens of special relativity and the material observation that no particular object in the universe is the single origin of time or events happening; "decentralization" is not taken as an abstract ideal to aspire to, but as the everyday reality that no particular movement in one corner of the world can operate physically or mentally on a movement happening on another side of the world, and thus must simply observe and model other countries while acting within its own region, sometimes even in the case of relatively small city-to-city scales. Meta-Marxism and Molecular Marxisms are not anarchism, but inasmuch as current theories of Molecular Marxisms are coherent or possible, Molecular Marxisms offer the option of either joining a Marxism which resembles every desirable part of anarchism that also [[E:Materialism|makes physical sense]], or of joining an anarchism and coexisting alongside Marxisms.
