=== Falsification criteria ===

To falsify this claim, you can't simply recite the basic tenets and adages of Marxism as if you expect everyone to believe them; the strongest refutation will use concepts and vocabulary that anarchists would already be deeply familiar with. Some possible routes of refutation that might be acceptable include:

* Showing that the Cold War was a material phenomenon not based in ideas without using Marxism
* Showing that the United States did not [[E:free will|Freely Choose]] to hate the Soviet Union and the majority of the United States population was obligated to hate it through forces beyond its immediate control
* Showing that the population of the Soviet Union and the population of the United States were not automatically predisposed to like each other until governments force them not to, but, for instance, entirely neutral to each other
* Showing that if there were no capitalists <i>per se</i> at any greater scale than co-ops, countries could still end up in a period of tensions very much like the Cold War, and wouldn't simply enter a period of international anarchism as much as an attempt to, warheads or no warheads, "nonviolently" starve each other and tear each other apart
* Using class traitors like Trotsky to demonstrate specifically why the deconstruction of country-objects is separate from class, but also is not something people can spontaneously choose as much as something people are forced into
