I feel like the homeless guy on the street corner with a sign saying "The end is near! Repent, sinners!". I'm right, yet no one listens.
And this isn't entirely the Anarchist's fault, we are just cursed to poor leadership and a poor choice of partners.
It should be obvious that they dealt with us to keep the Marxists from power, but it was ultimately their failings that's gotten us in this mess, if I am to believe some of the previous posts I've read. And by the sounds of my post, I'm also alienating my leadership as well and other anarchists in the process. This should be apparent.Alienate the only faction willing to deal with you. Good plan.
Xanthippus - Tis true. This is one of my favoritest AARs here, and I always feel like my comments never do it enough justice. That being said, one of the first questions I asked was pretty similar to your own. I believe the gradient used was syndicalism of the time would involve freedom of trade in the sense that borders would be eliminated - therefore, free trade out of all the options presented is the most close model to Anarcho-Syndicalist/Council Communist/Anarcho-Communist models. I'm pretty sure Tommy4ever can state his logic way better then my tired remembrence can, mind. Anyway, glad to see you found it - it's an excellent read.
On the AAR itself, I'm seconding a Luxembourgish (Rosa, that is) faction as opening up soon. It'd make me heart truly content! o
Now I hate to say it (Not really), but to all you Anarchists out there.....
Told ya so.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. The corrupt unions must be overthrown. Giving votes to all men is not sufficient. Women must be given equal power. Men of Steel are not enough, only when a Woman of Iron is in command will the power of the unions be overthrown.

Didn't we have equality for women already?
Meaning if you are a city women... people on the land are still not allowed to participate in politics, whether man or woman.
Name the women that have been pulling the levers of power. Now name the men. The numbers are not nearly equal to one another. Replace Kropotkin with a women. Its the only way to beat the unions.
Sounds good, but I am not the author.
And still a big percentage of the citizens, namely those who are not working in factories and do not belong to unions, are not allowed to vote.
This is just another example of the corruption that has seized the unions. They want to restrict benefits of citizenship to themselves, the better to extort the rest of the workers. They need to be handbagged. Vladimir is no good with a handbag, Peter is no good with a handbag, Alfred is no good with a handbag, August is no good with a handbag, Wilhelm is no good with a handbag. Rosa or Greta is what the Republic needs, but its patriarchal structures keep all the women out of sight and out of power.
So I finally caught up after being gone for almost a week. 50 new pages! Lenin! The Independents screwing everything up! Marx dying on the eve of civil war! What this country needs is a reboot. I propose that after this "civil war" is resolved we write a constitution. I know this sounds like some Jeffersonian bourgeois scheme to solidify the state, but the Party needs reorganizing, and we can't have hung governments and entrenched bureaucratic unions cause ruin in our republic in another 35 years. Of course, our constitution would have to promote, nay, force the dissolution of the state and military after the revolution has spread across the globe and all men are free.
Just a word from Büt von Facce
I'm a little confused though with how you make use of the Left-Right dichotomy. Social Anarchists/Anarcho-Communists, as opposed to Individualists/Anarcho-Capitalists, are usually considered Ultra Left, beyond even Marxists. Are you instead using a statist-libertarian dichotomy, rather than the typical Left-Right?
Tommy, I would be honored if you would let me lead a portion of the Anarchist militia! I will gladly defend Brussels from the Trade Unions and Leninists!
I'm surprised Tommy hasn't thrown Enewald in somewhere for comic relief yet . He'd be a great addition to the story haha.
In other news, I urge the Comintern to pressure the Netherlands to give the Dutch East Indies independent rule.
I really like it. Is it still Turkey, gameplay-wise?
No more finger-pointing. Lets start shooting!
