Quote by Johann Most

He who negates present society, and seeks social conditions based on the sharing of property, is a revolutionary whether he calls himself an anarchist or a communist.

He who negates present society, and seeks social conditions

Summary

This quote suggests that regardless of the label one chooses - anarchist or communist - if someone opposes and rejects the current societal structure and advocates for the establishment of a system where property is shared collectively, they are defined as a revolutionary. It emphasizes that the ideological terms used to describe such individuals are of lesser importance compared to their common goal of bringing about social change through challenging established norms of property ownership.

Wishful thinking is not idealism. It is self-indulgence at best and self-exaltation at worst. In either case, it is usually at the expense of others. In other words, it is the opposite of idealism.
