I was "asked recently" who my favorite anarchist was, and since I didn't really hear/see much response, I got to thinking: I'd kinda like to see an opinion thread about everone's various different favorite anarchists, and why

I know we each all define the term slightly differently, so like, I went with Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines, but I know there's lots of current folks that I just haven't kept up on.

Disclaimer/Nota Bene: only use safe-to-"out" responses. No like "oh, my brother hacked the IRS" that'll get "The Man" hunting us all down

My favorite anarchist is myself because without me, I wouldn't exist.

Self-explanatory. I am, therefore I am.

The most discreet and anonymous among them, because anarchists should never fall into the cult of personality.

Solid, solid, best possible response

I dunno, Zoe Baker? I'm not good at picking favorites, and it's debatable whether one should pick favorite anarchists, anyways.

The one who draws all the circle As in my city.

Also I really like the one that cooked the food for the free/donation based food handout.

And the one who takes a shift in the local anarchist library so i can hang out there.

If i had to actually give like proper well known anarchist, i like Thought Slime (really funny youtuber).
