It is an attempt at a crowdsourced alternative to An Anarchist FAQ, mainly aiming to eliminate any biases by having multiple people write this work.

I should have clarified in the post; this is not my opinion, nor am I a participant of Raddle. I just found a cool link that I wanted to share.

According to Raddle,

[An Anarchist FAQ] is written entirely by one man and often pushes a strong Bookchinite perspective, to the point of smearing the anarchist currents that Bookchin rallied against

Again, I don't have much of an opinion on this, as I don't know how much of it is true. I haven't read AFAQ in much detail: I preferred the digestibility of Peter Gelderloos' Anarchy Works.

Thank you for clarifying. That helps a great deal! :)

Don't believe every bitter and resentful internet commenter. They're talking about 8 year old drama where I used several accounts to speak out against the politics and behavior of other users (almost all of them tankies) and then told them I did it and apologized. Hardly 'caught red handed'.

almost all of them tankie

Right, right, Ziq... all the people you hounded and harrassed off r/anarchism (including quite a few of the mods) is now just conveniently tankies (according to you).

I see you still rail against tankies while using the very same underhanded tactics they do... you haven't changed one spot on your coat, have you?

"Anarchists against me aren't anarchists, they're tankies."

Ziq is a liberal confirmed.

Holey moley give it a rest. It had nothing to do with reddit, it was literally Marxist-Leninists who were banning anarchists from raddle forums.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still the same old liar, eh Ziq?

You know what? I'm kinda glad you didn't change - you're still the same old breathing and talking reminder of why we should always be vigilant against raging narcissists hiding under leftist camouflage.

It's not just the tankies and the liberals we should be guarding against - after all... the likes of you are still out there, too.

What's the matter, Ziq? Don't like your past catching up to you?

If I were you I wouldn't like it either.

It's easy, Ziq. Just click on the three little vertical dots underneath this comment, and the option will reveal itself to you in the drop-down menu.

Just remember to do the same for all your sock-puppet accounts, too.

Ziq claims to have left this place, wanna place bets until their sockpuppets pop up?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Has anyone actually managed to figure out why Ziq is like that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

No clue personally, I'm sure we'll never find out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

nor am I a participant of Raddle.

Nothing about Raddle, or it's creator, deserves any kind of trust.

It's maker, Ziq, was caught red-handed on Raddle using an army of sock-puppet accounts to harass participants and manipulate narratives on Raddle itself - a method they were suspected of using to disrupt and hijack r/anarchism way back when.

They are literally a text-book example of a bad actor.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yep, they're not exactly trust worthy. It's why I like db0 over Raddle.

Raddle has like 10% of the users and half of them are Ziq's alts.

I started the new FAQ, I can provide direct quotes from the old FAQ to outline its biases if you want. But biases aren't really a problem, that's to be expected in any project, the problem is the vicious smears it directs at anarchists of different schools, and the way it's tries to assert monolithic thought onto anarchy, especially the author's ideology of majoritarianism which he borrows from Murray Bookchin's theories.
