The current moment of global upheaval has brought about a renewed interest in revolutionary thought andpraxis. In particular, there has been a growing convergence between Marxism and anarchism, two traditions that have often been seen as opposed to each other.

This convergence is not new. In fact, there has always been a strong affinity between Marxism and anarchism. Both traditions share a common goal of social liberation and a belief in the power of collective action.

However, there are also important differences between the two traditions. Marxism emphasizes the role of class struggle in social change, while anarchism emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and autonomy.

Despite these differences, there is a growing recognition that Marxism and anarchism can learn from each other. Marxism can help anarchists to understand the structural causes of oppression, while anarchism can help Marxists to develop more effective strategies for social change.

One of the most important concepts that anarchists and Marxists can learn from each other is the concept of kairos. Kairos is a Greek word that refers to the right moment for action. It is the moment when the conditions are ripe for change and when action can be most effective.

The concept of kairos is important for revolutionaries because it helps us to understand the timing of revolutionary change. Revolutions are not simply spontaneous events. They are the result of long-term processes of social and political development.

However, there are also moments when the conditions for revolution are particularly favorable. These moments are often characterized by a widespread sense of discontent and a growing desire for change. They are also often moments of crisis, when the old order is breaking down and the new order has yet to be established.

The current moment of global upheaval is a kairos moment. The old order of neoliberalism is in crisis and there is a growing desire for a new world. This is a moment of opportunity for revolutionaries to build a new society based on the principles of solidarity, equality, and freedom.

However, it is important to remember that kairos moments are also moments of danger. The old order will not go down without a fight. There will be setbacks and defeats along the way. But if we are united and determined, we can win.

The revolutionary affinities between Marxism and anarchism can help us to build a stronger and more effective movement for social change. By learning from each other and working together, we can create a world that is free from oppression and exploitation.
