For long we have heard Paleo-Marxist Socialism and Anarchy be advocated for together. I want to not necessarily advocate for what i am about to talk about, but talk about an alternative to Paleo-Leftist Anarchism.
What is Neoteric Marxism?
Neoteric Marxism views the anti-capitalist struggle from a different, more modern, perpsective, the perspective of the “bourgeois class struggle”. The bourgeois class struggle is an alternative to the proletarian class struggle, proposed by Marx, it believes in the creation of an, so called, Omniclass by two main ways, Upstream Neoteric Marxism and Downstream Neoteric Marxism, as the names may indicate one advocates for the gentrification of reality, by hijacking the neoliberal state and elevating the proletariat to the ranks of the bourgeoisie, the other advocates for the destruction of the means of production.

How does this tie into Anarchy?
Anarchy or Anarchism advocates for total freedom, by eliminating hierarchies, now you may be asking, ‘How are Neoteric Marxism and Anarchism compatible?’, I would argue that they are compatible in the sense that both advocate for the elimination of class, state and money. A Neoteric Marxist Implosion[2] could easily be used to lead further into anarchy.
How?
Neoteric Marxism advocates for us all to be raised up to the level of the ruling class, giving us all absolute power, and therefore none, making everyone equal. Anarchist-Neoteric-Marxism could take this a step further and eliminate all hierarchies, by either following the downstream and destroying every hierarchy, or hijacking hierarchies to abuse them and make them fall.
Hijacking the neoliberal state is the first step
One of the worst oppressors of our time is Neoliberalism. Neoliberalism has corrupted everything that came close to it, no revolution has been able to stop it. That’s why we need to use Neoteric Marxist Implosion to destroy it from within. Once Neoliberalism falls the anarchist forces may take over and finally bring about a free, non-hierarchical World.
Closing words
I did not have time to go into the specifics of gentrification, implosion and many other things, articles on that are going to follow. This was just a small article to highlight how Neoteric Marxism and Anarchy are compatible.
