The track record of anarchist societies

The speaker raises the question of why anarchist societies have failed in recent history, citing examples such as the Seattle strike and the Spanish Civil War. They suggest that a lack of solidarity and international support is a major factor in their collapse, but also acknowledge tactical errors and a return to previous organizing structures. Despite these failures, some anarchists argue that the current technological climate, with advancements like blockchain and digital democracy platforms, makes anarchism more viable than ever.
