Yeah sure.. Like if Lenin and Stalin weren't Socialist SMH. They love to play the its not real Socialism card. The one I've heard them use is the State Capitalism one, as if Capitalism (Private Individual Control of his/her economy) can simultaneously be the Collective Public Sector State SMH.

Everything they say is a freaking contradiction man. From the Anarcho Syndicalism, to Anarcho Communist to State Capitalism. All of it is Oxymoronic. Take Anarcho Syndicalism and Anarcho Communism for example. How in the world can Anarchism which is Anti-Government be the Government? Syndicates are Government Controlled Trade Unions. The Anarcho part just doesn't fit lol.

1/ This reminds me of Marxist intellectuals that specialize in dialectic philosophy and try to reconcile two contradicting principles. One example is the idea of "anti-communist liberalism," which is oxymoronic too.

Funny that you mentioned these Marxist intelectuals. Yesterday i read about 30 minutes of the largest Marxist article in history explaining State Capitalism. It was literally a waste of my life, and the glaring contradictions are easy to expose. They don't realize for some reason that their fight is not against Capitalism, but against another branch of Socialism that promises nothing to the workers. They call this State Capitalism when the proper term is Socialism. When the State has ownership or control of the means of production, it is clearly by definiton socialism. It is not Capitalism!

1/ Just like their master, they don't really understand the basic features of capitalist society such as mass production, mass consumption, consumer sovereignty, freedom, economic democracy, and social mobility.

2/ See two quotes from Mises that show that the economic understanding of the followers of Marx applauded as sophisticated in the academe is in reality immature and naive:

They have no greater perception of the essentials of economic life than the errand boy, whose only idea of the work of the entrepreneur is that he covers pieces of paper with letters and figures (Socialism, p. 189).

3/

In its most fundamental contentions Marxism has never risen above the level of a doctrine for the soap box orator (Socialism, p. 305).

2/ Have you also heard about "untotalitarian totalitarianism"? They are really "creative" and "innovative" when it comes to inventing new terminology.

3/ They claim to fight communism and yet promote central planning and welfarism.

4/ They are like the Reds now hiding behind environmental advocacy. The word "watermelon" ideology is really suitable for them. They are green outside but remain red deep within.

5/ This is how Ludwig von Mises describes these intellectuals in his book, The Anticapitalistic Mentality:

They pretend to reject the revolutionary and dictatorial aspirations of the 'Reds' and at the same time they praise in books and magazines, in schools and universities, Karl Marx, the champion of the communist revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat, as one of the greatest economists, philosophers and sociologists and as the eminent benefactor and liberator of mankind. They want to make us believe that untotalitarian totalitarianism, a kind of a triangular square, is the patent medicine for all ills" (p. 112).
