== Exact claim ==

{{HueAssertion|O1=|P1= Anarchists can constitute a class, |O2= inasmuch as that under very specific conditions they may be able to create repeatable social structures in a spatially-recurring pattern that are capable of all joining up and overtaking the bourgeoisie permanently such that there exists a unique dictatorship-of-the-anarchists where things that are not anarchism are no longer allowed; this is to imply that |P2= anarchists |O3= within their assembled socially-linked community of "good people" or "non-greedy people" or "anti-racists" or "people who want to transition from devastation back to tribal society" or whatever distinction said mass of people has used to perform filtration into a pure-charcoal Social-Philosophical System of anarchists |P3= can only successfully function as a class if and when they belong to one or more named anarchisms with a specific internal structure described in a Materialist way (Bauplan) and a dialectical-materialist method for continuous societal development |O4= in which particular productive forces and granting-node relationships are developed to their capacity and then expanded each time such a thing is needed in order to allow for the development of core anarchist goals such as universal education, voluntary work, and leisure }}

<ol class="hue clean">

{{li|start=y|I=S2/A|Q=33,91|Q2=3391}}Non-greedy people are a class  ->  ... "Greed"/"non-competitive balance" is the single most common wrong idea I have seen in every center-Liberal or anarchist or anticommunist argument; it's everywhere. it seems to be fundamental to the way most anarchists define the hypothetical capable subpopulation of people that can end capitalism. they start with the whole population and then they just start defining relatively arbitrary criteria including actual wealth or having prejudices for crossing out "the greedy ones". the big problem is that when we're at the "hierarchy"/prejudice criterion it can really come down to having the wrong definitions of words or not having the models people command you to. it becomes very paradoxical because it's based on what people believe or feel rather than on what's verifiable, and that can easily just lead to two or three groups of people shouting at each other, ordering each other around but insisting they won't listen to each other because they've effectively created circular hierarchies onto each other and they want freedom.

== Background ==
<!-- <div class="hue"></div> [[E:Trotskyism|Trotskyism]] {{dfn|Trotskyism|I=Z1/IV|E=Q4104|class=field_trotsky}} -->

Within the United States, where historically every group of Communist allies has generally been discovered early, outnumbered, and crushed by overwhelming mountains of capital before being able to accomplish anything, there has been a vast explosion of anarchism. Almost every progressive movement in the United States has somehow either come from anarchism, as with the [[E:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition|Existentialist-Structuralist tradition]], or slowly morphed into anarchism, as with Western-Marxism. The United States is less a place where there are Liberal-republicans, Communists, and anarchists than it is a place where there are [[E:Existentialist-Structuralist tradition|blue anarchists]], [[E:Zinovievism (meta-Marxism)|orange anarchists]], [[E:Gramscianism|strawberry anarchists]], [[E:postcolonial anarchism|mauve anarchists]], and [[E:anarchism|charcoal anarchists]], with perhaps even a few green anarchists that do absolutely nothing but create [[E:solarpunk (literary genre)|utopian literature]].

Within this vast landscape of anarchists, any discourse that still happens on what a class is and what class analysis is supposed to be has gotten increasingly bizarre. Some [[E:North American Maoism|North-American Maoist]] texts appropriated by anarchism and passed around with the original serial numbers filed off may try to look for segments of the population that are most likely to participate in a [[E:revolution as special activity disconnected from development of workers' state (motif)|special activity of revolution]] on a particular day and try to say that some tiny 10% of the population is the proletariat while 90% of the population [[E:labor aristocracy (Maoism)|is technically the proletariat but also isn't the proletariat]]. Some Gramscian texts pretending [[E:Some of Western Marxism isn't Marxism|a bit too effectively]] not to be Marxism will try to suggest that it doesn't matter who is the proletariat as much as who has been programmed not to revolt or to hate Black towns by "the mass media". Deleuze and Guattari presented a number of different models or suggestions, early on starting with the analogy of schizophrenia and the concept that literal mental illnesses resisted Liberal-republican rationality and in particular the harmful forms of Enlightenment rationalism that allowed prejudice and discrimination to continue in circles, all through mental illness relentlessly {{em|existing}} and putting Materialism into practice by comprehending {{em|their own}} material logic of how the disease patient survives disease and relates to the world. In some ways this was a large contributor to the secondary explosion within anarchism of {{TTS|tts=capital-E Existentialisms|Existentialisms|E=Existentialist-Structuralist tradition}} that began to posit that the key to schizophrenic liberation, LGBT+ liberation, and many others was precisely to merely exist as loudly as possible, and thus through [[E:militant Yaroshenkoism (motif)|out-existing]] all meaningful contributions of [[E:Toryism (United States)|Tories]] to society become the revolutionary class that lays down the new republic.

The concept of a "revolutionary subject" and theorists or movements arguing about which demographics of people will become it is by no means new, but since the 90s and 2000s there has seemingly been a subtle shift toward using this concept to replace the entire concept of class analysis. Mainstream Marxist-Leninists will tell people that if a movement ever happens in the United States they have to go to existing "[[E:What is The Left?|Left]]" factions and actually [[E:filtration (meta-Marxism)|filter]] potential advanced workers and Marxist theorists out of them, as well as try to act within each faction to knit various groups together into a national-scale movement. This then results in unsuspecting [[E:Stalin's Marxism|crimson]] and [[E:Western Marxism|strawberry]] theorists going into organizations that turn out to have their own fully-formed, highly-entrenched ideology and are in no way "a hub for apolitical people" nor "a movement for social-democracy", which proceed to pressure everyone to either organize as and see the world as anarchists or not have a national Left. It is thus impossible to objectively create a Marxist analysis of countries such as the United States without first committing to seeing all political movements as their own free-floating semi-solid material objects similar to tiny nation-states which are sovereign but have no central government. By modeling all political movements as independent [[E:Social-Philosophical System (meta-Marxism)|Social-Philosophical Systems]] which each have their own unique physical class makeup and regionally-unique or class-based ideology, it once again becomes possible to start on the otherwise daunting task of predicting how well various local movements will respond to attempts to organize them.

This proposition is the claim that the overall field of anarchism is capable of replacing class analysis and taking over the concept of people joining together to create a workers' state in places like the United States based on belonging to a particular class. It claims that because the most important aspect of replacing a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie with a dictatorship of the proletariat is more or less in taking a repeating pattern of particular structural elements with connection to the socioeconomy and organizing them to stand together as a single united [[E:Filament (meta-Marxism)|filament]] of people that is [[E:Anarchism or Socialism? (Stalin)|stronger than its rival filament]], if and only if a particular form of anarchism is capable of doing that, anarchists can become effectively the same thing as a class, and create their own uniquely anarchist republic in the same sense that capitalists create a bourgeois republic or workers and peasants create the [[E:Material System of Bolshevism|Material System of Bolshevism]]. All of this rests on whether a given anarchism can actually define the structure of its society materially in terms of evolving structural elements such as productive forces versus relations of production, and whether that particular structure is capable of defending itself, or producing public facilities, social roles, and a society which balances what people want to create with what another town needs at the rate needed.
