Something something that's not the definition of a political anarchist.

As an anarchist this is me on a good day. I more often find myself in the middle getting shit on from both directions.

Sorry, you're all getting techno-feudalism.

I want to argue but... I'm currently arguing with a company that won't cancel a fraudulent order despite me having every single piece of information needed to do so. So they will get a chargeback after my card is replaced. Really trying to help them but they want that money lol

I vibe with both anarchists (cool, helpful) and communists (smart, boring). Liberals drive me crazier everyday.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

It depends for me. The labels aren't really useful if I don't know the person. One kid I interacted with over a few months said enough in line with fascism that I call him that. Someone just telling me they're communist, anarchist, liberal isn't enough to really get their actual beliefs, given how much overlap and misuse of the terms there is. I will generally vibe with a more left leaning person, of course, so if any of those labels are used I'm like, cool, we'll probably have good conversations. Even conservatives I'm opening up to. Republicans? My God. I blame my mental illnesses on that brain rot.

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A room filled with Liberals. Liberals drive me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once.

Do anarchists still exist anymore? I know it's a fun name tag to wear, but I'm finding very few actual "practicing" anarchist organizations.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (9 children)

We do! In my area there are quite a few of us and we operate a number of collectives providing things like:

  • Free meals
  • Free groceries
  • Bike repair workshops
  • Theory reading groups
  • Clothing
  • Social activities

Of course there's also a lot of direct action going on for various causes.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah, this is a principled anarchist.

Real Anarchism is when you just run around in a big circle waving your hands and shouting "This is Anarchy"

yeah those exist. Anarchists oppose hierarchies, not meet ups

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Depends on what you mean by anarchists. Average Americans think anarchism is lawless violence. It isn’t, and there are plenty of anarchists today.

YMMV depending on country. In the US you can find at least a handful of named anarchist organizations in any given state. Many anarchist or libertarian organizations keep it on the DL for a multitude of reasons. You may have better luck finding groups under the monikers of communalist, x or y federation, social ecologist, or just plain ole socialist. Mutual aid networks, food not bombs chapters, and IWW chapters are other spaces a lot of anarchists occupy. Many anarchists still stick to affinity groups and the like as well so, while they may be out there and active, it's likely you'll never hear about them. Further muddying the waters there's also the concept of social insertion where anarchists support local movements and encourage (but don't attempt to force) the popular movement to develop in a more libertarian fashion. Some big names in the libertarian milieu in the US are the symbiosis network and moneyless society. The black rose anarchist federation is another one I've seen around.

That said, it's still hard to find other anarchists in a lot of areas. I've been on the hunt for a while and haven't had any luck in my area. The closest I have is a food not bombs chapter in my city but they're all a bunch of zionist soc-dems. 🤷 They do good work but I don't want to be the only anarchist in the group haha. I'll be handing out zines and fliers at the pride parade in a few weeks in the hopes of starting a reading group and hopefully an explicitly anarchist org in my city

Call yourself whatever you want, at the end of the day we're all utopianists who're overly self-assured that our favorite pet-theory-system will eventually remove all suffering.

"If my vision for society were adopted, the world would be perfect!"

Keep dreaming. We're fucked.

If you too want to get out of the liberal vs communist showdown and smoke weed on the side come to slrpnk.net where only our memes community has liberals and communists fighting in the comments.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

lemmy.world mods look at reddit for inspiration.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I enjoy it too but not for political reasons but just for the sake of drama

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

From my view the entire problem with .ml is that the anarchists there don't realize that MLs are not allies.
