The Doomed Optimism in the Anarchist Movement

There has been a very strong, i don't know if you call denial. A lot of my friends who are active in the anarchist movement have simply joined the territorial defense battalions or the regular army and will simply fight as soldiers. People have just been joining the army, going to tactical trainings. But this is all very basic stuff, like going to the woods learn how to set up camp and, you know, clean a rifle,. Nothing like combat training, because where would you get that, except by joining the army and going to the front?
