Who should I heed? A man who literally transformed the thinking of millions of people or some rando on the internet who is completely unable to put forth any thing like a rational plan of action.
By your logic, no one should pay attention to Gandhi, MLK, Abe Lincoln, or Leon Trotsky.
Also, by your logic, no one should listen to you because if they did, they’d be following you.
I mean, look at the world around you right now. Look what became of your revered leaders in history. How’s this whole following leaders thing working out for you so far? Why do you think it will be any different going forward?
you can’t follow the teachings of the anarchists who came before you. Therefore you can’t be an anarchist.
lol, Anarchism isn’t about following teachings of others. That’s completely optional. The entire point of Anarchism is to reject authority. It would be self-defeating if we set up prominent anarchists of the past as authority figures.
Hmm, this is quite a conundrum.

Well … yes.
I am an anarchist, after all.

Explain the paradox.
If you reject all leadership, you can’t follow the teachings of the anarchists who came before you. Therefore you can’t be an anarchist.
