my favorite anarchist is my sous chef who thinks “china is a bad actor” and who shut me up the last time I tried to illustrate the ridiculousness of anti China propaganda by showing her an article blaming China for not doing enough about climate change. She asked “DON’T YOU THINK YOU’RE GETTING EXPOSED TO PROPAGANDA” as if the ANTI CHINA article in THE GUARDIAN was somehow pro china paid for by china
Ew authoritarianism.
Assuming you believe that anarchists should organize: what prevents anyone from calling your (or any given) anarchist group, “authoritarian”?
Because this is a very common slur that’s not only wielded by reactionaries against anarchist groups, but even from other anarchist groupings when they want to demonize each other.
Quick question: if you believe in Anarchism, how can it be achieved without authoritarian means?
I have at least a little love for everyone, but I have lots of love for anarchists because
ANARCHISTS ARE VEGAN!!!
Leftists in general are going to have more vegans than nons, but we’re still a minority in them, whether its an anarchist or marxist group.
One of the most virulent anti-vegans I met was an anarchist, who thought that dictating their food choices offended their “autonomy.”
I’m sure many are vegan but I actually read this recently
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-veganism-why-not
Likewise, fighting the exploitation of animals and veganism are not the same thing, and the question of whether the latter is useful for the former is also necessary to debate.
“Is not killing their babies really necessary to stop exploitation 🤔”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
carnists really are something
edit: would reeaallly love to hear the downvoters reasoning, like how do you square animal liberation and the slaughter necessary for sustained egg and milk production?
We don’t need a dozen anarchists practicing your anarchy perfectly, we need a world of anarchists doing the best the can for the world
You can’t have one without the other.
Should perfect be a barrier to progress?
Nope, but not valuing consent. That’s a massive barrier.
What if they consented?
Then it wouldn’t be an issue. But traditionally capitalism and Leninism view consent as something to circumvent.
The same anarchists that are willing to side with capitalists over other leftists?
Authoritarianism can be a deciding factor. Anarchist are very against it. So when it comes to groups that supposedly share the same economic ideology but have different goals. Anarchists have found themselves othered and slaughtered. Sometimes people can have the same goals but different ideas about how to get there. And still respect eachother. I would ally with anyone who values consent over those that do not.
Sounds like you think ancaps value consent? Wild
No, they’re just cosplaying capitalists. There’s literally no difference between them and capitalists. No daylight.
Um who you referring to bb?
I was reading through the anarchist faq here to learn more and it left a bad impression
