    However, unlike most (in fact nearly all) other corners of the globe, Marxism-Leninism is not the dominant philosophy of rebellion amongst Westerners, but rather various currents of “the libertarian left,” including “democratic” ““socialists””, left-communists, but predominantly and especially anarchists. Which leads into the topic of this essay, illustrating a larger functional problem of anarchism — that it overwhelmingly fails to produce tanks. No, really.

    Ya know what. He’s got a point there. Now I am just thinking of something like the local bike clinic but for tanks. We gotta step up our tank game. The last innovation in mechanized warfare from anarchists was the tachanka.

      I tell ya, after watching the wars in Syria and Iraq and Ukraine, I am OBSESSED with padding my numbers of tanks in a prospective war. It all comes down to those tracked, turreted, armored fighting vehicles that are great investments and not easily countered by anything that is not another tank- certainly nothing that infantry can carry individually.
