[anarchists in the news](https://www.anarchistagency.com/)
theres anarchistnews.org, itsgoingdown.org, enoughisenough14.org. roarmag recently shut down, communemag never really took off. z-mag is still more or less anarchist. truthout and guardian publish anarchists. jacobin is generally friendly to anarchists. crimethinc is a longtime anarchist publisher, freedom still exists in UK afaik. there's some primmie mags in usa like fifth estate, green anarchy, another that escapes me atm. revleft radio, unicorn riot. indymedia generally died out everywhere after occupy.
generally speaking, there are very few anarchists seriously pursuing journalism (as there are few anarchists seriously pursuing anything).

You can share a link to their site - we have AutoModerator to send them to our mod queue where we can manually approve them.
I like to read international anarchist news and updates at AInfos: http://ainfos.ca/
Also Abolition Media: https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/
https://mobile.twitter.com/abol_media
And there's also It's Going Down but it's almost entirely content and reportbacks from the US and Canada.
Also saw this today: "Ill Will is launching a new series dedicated to struggles in Latin America.

Reddit's "Anti Evil Operations" update, moderator elections & some other housecleaning# This is actually pretty important for you to know for your posts *all around Reddit* as well as in r/@, so despite its length, PLEASE read the whole thing.
*(This will be crossposted to both r/@ and the meta sub)*
## The Main Part:
So Reddit's AEO ~~bot~~ err...team...has recently undergone some changes, which seem to have led to them being more aggressive with admin removals of content. We used to see maybe one a month or so - now there have been *7 in the past week, alone.*
As you're probably aware, mods of *any* sub *have to* enforce the site-wide rules, whether we agree with them or not.
One that has seemingly been getting renewed attention from AEO is [the rule \(and subsequent elaboration\) about violent content](https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043513151-Do-not-post-violent-content):
> *Rule 1: Remember the human. … Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence.*
>
> Do not post content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual (including oneself) or a group of people; likewise, do not post content that glorifies or encourages the abuse of animals. We understand there are sometimes reasons to post violent content (e.g., educational, newsworthy, artistic, satire, documentary, etc.) so if you’re going to post something violent in nature that does not violate these terms, ensure you provide context to the viewer so the reason for posting is clear.
>
> If your content is borderline, please use a NSFW tag. Even mild violence can be difficult for someone to explain to others if they open it unexpectedly.
>
> Some examples of violent content that would violate the Rule:
>
> * Post or comment with a credible threat of violence against an individual or group of people.
> * Post containing mass killer manifestos or imagery of their violence.
> * Terrorist content, including propaganda.
> * Post containing imagery or text that incites, glorifies, or encourages self-harm or suicide.
> * Post that requests, or gives instructions on, ways to self-harm or commit suicide.
> * Graphic violence, image, or video without appropriate context.
>
> Note that health misinformation, namely falsifiable health information that encourages or poses a significant risk of physical harm to the reader, also violates the Rule.
There are (few) positives and (many) negatives in their newfound zeal:
**Pro:**
Things like the R-slur are being removed from Reddit as a violation of site-wide rule #1 (if reported). Our AutoModerator^^[1] already has protections in place for that, so it never gets to the community. However, even if something is actioned by the moderators and/or AutoModerator, AEO will still often come in after the fact, and put one the new `[Removed by Reddit]` tags on it (which most people will never see, because again, we've already taken it down)....
[1] - *More on the AutoModerator in the other housecleaning stuff*
**Cons:**
* They are removing some ***very*** tame stuff including posts that are very clearly calls to self-defense and other seemingly innocuous things (like [this response](https://i.postimg.cc/L6f8DgkP/Screenshot-2022-08-19-at-13-46-01-9-Anarchism-Beneath-the-pavement-the-beach.png) to a post asking how to deal with abusers and their enablers)
* Certain reports, regardless of what action is taken by moderators, are also copied to the admins - this doesn't only include the [first page](https://i.postimg.cc/tJstwNRp/Screenshot-2022-08-19-at-13-57-53-newest-submissions-reddit-com.png) of site-wide report issues, but as I was recently told by an admin:
> subreddit report reasons containing certain keywords related to site-wide rules are sometimes reviewed by the safety team as well, but I am not 100% sure what the exact criteria is.
While we haven't received any direct notices or warnings from admins, two things are known:
1. Reddit doesn't particularly love r/@. They're not specifically "after us" (as far as we know, anyway), but given the subject matter of the sub, we're certainly not going to receive anything that could be mistaken for favorable treatment or a lot of extra chances.
2. Subreddits that consistently fail to moderate content that violates the site-wide rules are punished - depending on the size/activity of the subreddit, this can range from "polite warnings" to quarantines (which are almost impossible to recover from) to outright bans.
##### The "terrorist" part
Just being an anarchist is enough for one to be classified by some governments as a "terrorist" - as of writing, Reddit doesn't seem to agree with that classification....yet. If/when they change that position, it will be game over for the sub, and there won't really be anything any of us can do about it. It would be wise to consider backup platforms (like [Raddle](https://raddle.me)) before that happens.
#### Get to the point...
Yeah, sorry....what this means is that we, as mods, have to be less lenient than we normally would be in terms of removing content if we want to protect the sub from the consequences above. Given that we quite often have bad actors come into the sub and report things that the *actual community* would know as innocuous, if we reasonably believe that Reddit will see it otherwise, we're gonna have to remove it.
We've reached out to one user who recently had their artwork removed by AEO under this rule, despite the fact that there is explicitly an exemption for artwork carved out in the rule. However, until we hear back from them about whether they intend to appeal and the results of that appeal, we may be forced to even take down some content that *should* be okay by the Rules As Written.
Obviously, if we hear good news back, we'll be able to use that as armor with the admins moving forward.
## Mod Elections
It's almost that time again - r/Anarchism mod elections are coming up shortly (in about a week or so). Now is a good time to start thinking about who you might want to nominate or if you'd like to nominate yourself (yes, that's allowed). **The Mod elections are held [in the Meta sub](https://reddit.com/r/metanarchism), so if you qualify^^[2] and you're not already a member, consider joining so you can have a say!**
[2] - *In short: Must be an anarchist with at least a 3 month history (and 10+ comments worth) of positive, constructive (read: positive karma, not trolling/shitposting) participation in r/Anarchism*
## Housecleaning
#### Auto Mod
I've recently been working on fixing some of the AutoModerator regex in our slur detection rules. There were instances where a base slur would be caught, but the plural form wouldn't be, etc. I also added some intentional misspellings and common evasion stuff (using numbers in place of letters) people may use to get around it.
For the ableist slurs that get removed, I've also added a link to [this Autistic Hoya article](https://www.autistichoya.com/2014/02/violence-linguistic-ableism.html) along with their [glossary of ableist phrases](https://www.autistichoya.com/p/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avoid.html) to the AutoModerator response, which will provide more clarity for why the sub removes that content and *hopefully* cut down on some of the modmail we receive asking why things like "st/pid" are removed and berating us, lol
#### For other mods
For the mods that use the r/Toolbox add-on, I made some macros to save us some time with some common removal responses (e.g. cases of ableism where the AutoMod doesn't catch it, the occasional "yOu HAvE rULeS?!!1one!" trolls we sometimes get, a polite gender neutrality reminder, referring a user to the 101 sub, etc.).
Abortion Resources, Information, and Protests (continuously updated)*This post will be continually updated with new protests, new resources, etc, as they become available. Please note that r/Anarchism does not specifically endorse any particular protest. This information is solely being made available for people who wish to gather and make their voices heard in their areas.* ***We cannot guarantee the safety of these protests, nor should we be expected to verify who organized them.***
*If you know of a protest that's not listed below,* ***please let us know*** *so we can add it to the list.*
# DO NOT ANNOUNCE YOUR ACTIONS ON THE INTERNET, AND LEAVE YOUR PHONE AND ANY "SMART" DEVICES AT HOME IF/WHEN YOU PARTICIPATE IN ONE.
Feel your rage. Take to the streets. We're aware that this is an emotional moment, but we have to ask that people **please** follow site-wide rules here. This means no calls to burn shit down, etc.

### Some Tips:
* Many states have had trigger laws on the books in the event that this happened. In those states, abortion is illegal effective immediately. **If you live in one of these states, and you are/become pregnant, DO NOT TELL ANYONE who you cannot trust with your life.**
* Also, if you are in one of these states and you need to look up resources and websites regarding abortion care, [use Tor Browser to do so](https://www.thetorproject.org/download). There are versions available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Android devices. If you use iOS, the Tor Project recommends that you use [Onion Browser](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onion-browser/id519296448).
Tor Browser will help you circumvent restrictions on websites you are allowed to visit, and it will protect you from having the sites in your history and being identified. For more information on what Tor is and some FAQs, [Click Here](https://raddle.me/wiki/tor_index).
If you're wondering "why not a VPN?" it's because there is payment information that can be tracked to you, they can be forced to comply with a warrant, and you cannot be 100% sure that the "no logs" policies that they often advertise are true - many have been proven false.
* If you use a period tracking app where you cannot view its source code, [delete whatever data you can, and get rid of it](https://truthout.org/articles/privacy-experts-warn-data-from-period-tracking-apps-may-soon-be-used-against-you/). This includes apps like Apple Health, even if you don't use it for that purpose.
Instead, consider something like [Drip](https://bloodyhealth.gitlab.io/) - An open source menstrual cycle tracking app which **does not connect to the internet**. There is currently only an Android version. However, an iOS version is in the works, and you can request an email notification when it's ready.

Yeah, a lot of them are pretty deeply ingrained in what's seemingly our "every day" language - to the point where a lot of people get *really* angry with us when we point it out.
Appreciate you not doing that and being receptive =)
Dipshit centrists and their horseshoe theory. To them, recognizing that unjust hierarchies exists is just as dangerous as thinking black people are less human.
There's a severe problem with the framing in that article, however. They're describing the situation as "we'd rather euthanize the poor than help them", while really it's that our society failed her, and she was forced to choose death over life in perpetual pain.
No circumstance, ever, should have one prefer death over life. It's not a matter of accessibility of medical assisted death, however, as the magazine would have you believe. Nobody is choosing medical assisted death *over* proper social care (except some fringe individuals, but nobody with power, influence or a platform here in Canada).
You can be sure that if medical assisted death was made illegal again, those right-wing "SJWs"* would immediately happily ignore the plight and suffering of those they are now pretending to be advocating on behalf of.
Once again: You can have medical assisted death *and* proper social care.
This isn't about social care. Or health care. This is about forced life.
*Yes, I am purposefully plagiarizing the right-wing's derogatory use of SJW here.
There's a severe problem with the framing in that article, however. They're describing the situation as "we'd rather euthanize the poor than help them", while really it's that our society failed her, and she was forced to choose death over life in perpetual pain.

Oh, I'm with you, it's a bad take. I've been considering getting a small anarchy tattoo recently. It puts you in a bit of danger, but the far right needs people around that make them nervous to do their bullshit, so I hate seeing this as well.
Oh, was it the use of Insane, sorry, I'll watch it in the future.

It’s probably because people thinking they are Anarchists tore through cities and destroyed peoples property and burned their businesses. Lots of people give Anarchists bad names

Well I do hate that tattoo…
But it may have to do with some of the “anarchy” symbology in the weird, occulty, right wing terror groups like Order of Nine Angles. It’s stupid but there’s the tiniest grain truth to it.

A lot of foolish people are offended by a lot of foolish things. It's not actually a hate symbol, it is in fact a symbol of liberation. Do with your own body whatever you want, don't let other people's ignorance control your exercise of that freedom.

I too used to dislike the “/s” because I thought it was one of those Redditisms you see people repeat all over this site (like “win stupid prizes”), but it was pointed out that not everyone detects sarcasm, especially written. Now I feel like my previous position was a bit ableist, out of ignorance. So I hope this helps you too!
Normally I’m very against war in general let alone forcing people to fight for political gain. However if my country is invaded and my community is thus endangered, the right thing to do is fight with your countrymen. This is a personal choice though and I don’t pretend to understand your position or the politics at play in your country.

Despite the validity of this article, Canada as a whole is going to shit. I feel sorry for its inhabitants. Freezing bank accounts, mandatory vaccinations, travel bans… that’s pretty close to Nazi shit. They were micro seconds from just throwing anti vaxxers in camps. Regardless of your stance on vaccination. The methods being used and personal freedoms being denied are absolutely ridiculous. The problem with government restrictions is that they always undertone to serve the governments… give the government a inch and they take a mile. Filthy bastards. Humanity doesn’t need a babysitter. That’s why anarchy works.

Why not serving in military is considered a criminal crime?Hi, I'm Ukrainian, and I'm a draft dodger(I do not support russia, or any fascism related ideas, especially militarism).
Ukraine has had compulsory military service(a.k.a. conscription) ever since USSR. But now, conscription posts have gone absolutely repressing by conscripting men(and in the near future possibly also women) on the streets, at malls, public places and private estates, saying, that the law does not specify place where subpoenas should be issued(so they think it means they can be issued everywhere).
Conscription model: Bounty Hunter(which causes an enormous anxiety of people chasing you, and in some cases fear using IDs) gives you a subpoena on a physical, that you can't refuse(if you don't show up, you pay a fee, or get detained, and then, they can forcibly take you there)where they give you an offer, rejecting which, contemplates you from 3 to 5 years of jail.
Even if you do not pass the physical(I was 100+ pounds obese, high blood pressure, could never even push up, I still passed it), you can legally at best be released for 6(I haven't heard of real cases of more then 3) months, while you're "getting a military education". So you'll have to do it again.
I'm aware, that everybody knows that, but still, why nobody cares? I've heard Ukrainian news aggregations accusing DNR of the mentioned above doings, so maybe it's not that legal after all?
Is that the Ukraine you're reading on the news? The one "defending democracy from russians"(russia also annually conscripts around 100k 18-year-olds)? There ain't no way I risk my life defending the country, that uses the same intimidation tactics as russia, throwing their citizens under the bus, becoming the country we fight.
I do know y'all will most likely try to shame me for "not defending my country", most men in Ukraine are shamed like that by USSR age citizens, which think, this obligation is just. I can't blame Ukraine, it's only defending itself, but shouldn't they care if we are psychologically ready to join? Why blackmail male citizens, while legally stay russian?(our constitutions both come from the 1970s USSRs constitution if I'm not mistaken).
P.S. I don't believe this war will ever stop, because with this kind of attitude, the fuel will always be added to the fire of war(from both sides), and it will last to the every last one of citizens.
Mods please publish my post. Or at least reply on my suggestion.

The birds flapping away have particular meaning for the Brighton area. What follows is IIRC.
In the 19th century, a pier was constructed (the "chain pier") out into the water holding entertainments - sort of a carnival aimed at all walks of life. It fell into some disrepair, and a corporate interest built a separate pier about half a mile up the beach, with more expensive and "monoculture" type activities ("Palace Pier"). The community started trying to raise funds to restore the chain pier, parts of which had become habitat for nesting sea birds. In order to prevent the restoration of (and presumed competition from) the community-owned chain pier, the business owners of Palace Pier pier hired arsonists to destroy the chain pier. Of course they did it in the middle of the night, so the birds were sleeping. When the flames came up, the night sky became filled with shreiking birds burning to death in mid-air and falling into the water. The eggs in their nests burned.
Meanwhile the Palace Pier remains the major waterfront tourist trap.
Live birds should fly free, just like us.

Should We Really Abolish Prisons? - Practical Considerations for Prison AbolitionReader be warned, this is me thinking out loud and is in no way a firm declaration that I will take to my grave. The following is likely to be a jumbled mess of thoughts on Prison Abolition and my still forming, and largely uneducated position on it, as it stands now.
I have in the past called myself an anarchist, but as of writing, when pressed, would probably call myself a libertarian socialist who takes most ideological influences from anarchist theory. My main break with the label of anarchism is on the issue of prison abolition. While i fully agree with the positions of anarchists regarding the harmful effects of prisons, the solutions to antisocial behavior seem to me to be somewhat incomplete or somewhat utopian. It is not uncommon (although not likely the norm) to see anarchists advocate for the complete and total freedom of all those incarcerated on the very day that the revolution is won. "Open the Prison doors" "Let free all those who have been imprisoned and let them live with us, guided only through solidarity and comradeship" declares many an anarchist. The view of the total abolition of prisons, of any institution that separates the antisocial from society (and immediately upon the raising of the black flag, i might add) seems too a priori and has little consideration for the pragmatic, and of experimentation.
While I fully agree that the cure for antisocial behavior is not separating people from their only tether to spirit of humanism and morality - society, friendship, community - and abolishing any form of carceralism seems an ideal end goal, immediately (at least in my mind) this bumps against the wall of practicality. Any sane and just society will need to protect the vulnerable from those who wish to do harm, this much is without question. Upon consideration of the facts of our historical moment, and upon understanding the harmful effects of prison, one must come to the conclusion that for some time during and after a hypothetical revolution, prisons as an institution will need to exist in one form or another. Prisons breed violence, on this point we are all in agreement. Being subject to the authority of totally impersonal penal system; locked up with other violent people where your survival may well depend on you being able to commit violence against some who wishes to harm you; being separated from family, community, society and being deprived of any agency, will or individuality; will inevitably breed the conditions the penal system wishes to stamp out. Prisons inherently breeds broken, antisocial, nihilistic and opportunist individuals and simply abolishing the state and capitalism will not immediately solve the problems created or reinforced by the carceral system.
So, the revolution has been accomplished. all the vestiges of class society; of obedience and authority have been swept away and those who have struggle to achieve this have come to the anarchist understanding, have developed themselves to associate with one another freely, who sees in their neighbor an equal and not an enemy, the question returns to prisoners. It is likely that if a revolution were to occur, prisoners will have a minor role, or will otherwise not be able to fully develop themselves to become anti-authoritarian, due to the fact that if they try prisoners will likely be thrown into solitary confinement until the revolution has already been won. They will still have the vestiges that the penal system has thrust upon them, and simply put, to release them would be a danger to society and a fledgling transformative justice system is not likely to correct or even handle the 2.19 million brutalized people that will be introduced to it.
So, with all that said, i will continue to the admittedly uneducated and likely ill-informed proposal i have. In my view, after the revolution this is what I would see as an appropriate solution:
1. Organize all those who have skills in social work, psychotherapy, and rehabilitation and put them into prisons to try and reform as many people in there as possible. Allow all prisoners unregulated visitation, measured community integration, meaningful work, and access to resources for the development of any creative passions or intellectual interests.
2. Immediately release all nonviolent offenders as soon as sufficient rehabilitative programs have been established in the various communities of which they will return to.
3. Build new rehabilitative prisons based on the Norwegian model for all those incarcerated for violent offenses for them to be transferred to. These will not be for punishment, but purely to house them as they received the aforementioned treatment.
4. Each offender will gradually be allowed greater and greater, phased, reintroduction and reintegration to the community, being granted once professionals have deemed them safe enough.
5. Gradually abolish these institutions as the reorganization of the economy and of social life as a whole makes them unnecessary, but only as long as these institutions have become unnecessary and dealing with antisocial behavior can be totally dealt with without prisons.
Therefore my view is one in which experience, experimentation and empirical observations will be the stopcock on the advancement of prison abolition. That only when the last vestiges of class society have been swept into the dustbin of history will the existence of prisons will become an extinct relic of a bygone and savage era. In my view we must always temper our ideological commitments with the facts laid before us in our particular historical moment. Our moral convictions are strong, but we must always allow our path to be guided by experience and experimentation until, finally, we reach our desired society - step by step: through successes, failures, false starts and setbacks. Until then we will have to contend with the systems laid before us, and which we inherit from previous eras.
In short, the abolition of prisons should be achieved only when the societal and material conditions we find ourselves in make it possible. To do otherwise will only condemn us to failure in this matter, and risks us returning to a penal system (and possibly back to the current state of social organization) as these failures breed in the minds of man a desire for a return to the "Good old days". I feel we must accept that it may take decades or even a century to fully correct the effects of class society and social organization based on authority, but the duration of struggle doesn't matter so long as we keep marching forward to a *truly* free and equal society.
Thank you for reading.

This is important. Myths give sense to our existence so they function as storys that permeate how we see the world. Its a good instrument for constructing morals too. Zapatistas know this and have created the most beautifull myths to justify their position in the world.
I really recomend, at least as an excercise, to try to create your own myths. Sounds strange, i know, you dont have to believe them to be true BUT you can construct your own myths with your own morals amd perspective using metaphors, poetry, fantasy, etc. In my case i do this and urge to my friends and compañeros to read them and to add their own. This way we construct, collectivelly, our own myths. Its fun and really makes its way into praxis. Tell me if you want i can share what i have so far with yall. I thought of my stories as if were myths from the future of the past (our present) explaining what went wrong beafore things got better (post colapse, our future). Its really cool to imagine how people from the future will think of us, all bad things i hope. The story im working on now is about a tree that appers already grown from nothing and its not like other trees beacuse... well, dont want to bore you here.
Sorry for the bad english

DuckDuckGo casually defaulting to conservative propaganda on dictionary searches

I deal with humans as they are. Not how I want them to be. Or imagine what they will evolve into. The world is not perfect. Anarchism requires a perfect world with unlimited resources and equally perfect people. It's like religion.
Take for example, Makhno. He didn't want to help with the railroad. That was an objectively dumb take. Without some central planning and basic economic structures you aren't going to accomplish anything beyond subsistence farming.
Another problem with anarchism, the interests of the individual and commune will inevitably be at variance with the interests of larger society. Do we just let them hold up progress for the rest of humanity?
You really think the communist regime was just as bad as the Czar? I'll have to hard disagree there.
The DSA is an electoral organization with terrible national leadership. Some well intentioned folks exist in local chapters but by and large they are the definition of "in the way". They stump for the Democratic party routinely. They encourage folks to do idiotic things like "vote".
Leftist infighting is neither good nor bad, its for sure needed though. There are far too many "orgs" masquerading to be some revolutionary agents when the reality is they are either autocratic or reactionary. I for sure refuse to fuck with electoral groups like the DSA and SA or autocratic white cults like PSL and RCP. I don't really fuck with most black nationalist groups either but I don't get in their way. This is all based on experience. The only time I really work with communists tends to be for on the ground community defense actions.
Struggle within "anarchist" circles is also sometimes needed as well. Folks write off the utility of "infighting" far too often.

Activism as performance art: I need adviceHi! I am from Sweden and in September is the first time since I became of legal age that I am allowed to participate in a general election. However, given my anarchist leanings, I have been debating whether or not I should vote. I know many anarchists do, I know many don’t; I needed to find something that felt philosophically consistent for myself. My primary reason as to why can be exemplified in an analogy that I appreciate both for its precision and provocative nature: if the existence of a state is equal to a rape of the people, the concept of an election is merely the decision of who gets to commit said rape. Based purely on that, my inclination naturally was to not vote.
But then I thought, if we’re sticking with the analogy, would simply not voting not be equal to standing by and watching the rape happen and doing nothing while pridefully saying “well at least I didn’t promote it.” I knew that I needed to do something. I considered the option of voting blankly, but that felt like saying “I agree to the rape, I just don’t care who does it.” So I started thinking about whether or not I shouldn’t just pick the least awful option, but there simply is not a party or politician that I come close to trusting, especially given how individualized elections in my country have become – people generally agree that it feels as if we are voting for a person and not a set of ideas and beliefs.
Well yesterday my ballot arrived in the mail. I looked at it long and hard. Then, somewhat childishly perhaps, I started playing with the thought of just lighting it on fire. I rejected it at first, but the image stuck in my head. And it started spiraling. What resulted as I lay awake last night was an idea for a filmed piece of activism in the shape of performance art. My main attraction to the idea is that it would be doing something as opposed to nothing, while still not acquiescing to a system I have no faith in.
The idea is this: I, naked and made-up as if badly beaten, appear in front of the camera with my ballot and a lighter. On my chest are the words “Statehood is rape.” I set the ballot on fire before the camera, followed by a text explaining my reasoning.
It’s edgy as fuck and is gonna piss a whole lot of people off, I know that, but that isn’t why I can’t decide whether or not to do it. I think activism has to be provocative to work. The issue is this: I am a white cisgender male from a privileged middle-class background. I have received free education and health care from my state all my life. While I may witness the violence committed by my state against others and am fully willing to abstain from my privilege to forge a more equal and just society, in what universe could I possibly have the right to call myself a victim of rape? It is for this very same reason that I declined the opportunity to give a talk on the decriminalization of sex work last year, despite it being a topic about which I am incredibly passionate and (I think) knowledgeable. Should I really be the mouth from which these statements are made?
So, fellow anarchists, I ask your opinions and insights: should I do it? should I not? am I a complete idiot for even having this idea? All responses will be treasured.
Cool, thanks for your help, it probably is dumb that I made this post, but tbh I don't care, I was honestly quite pissed that the mods on an anarchist sub banned me for a comment dissing anprims and anti-civs for "infighting" while they themselves post dumb "you can't be marxist and anarchist" posts and then try to step it back with shit like "this was meant to be inflammatory, always question your idols."

Just got banned by a new mod on r/COMPLETEANARCHYI honestly don't know where else to put this, I was just banned from my favorite anarchist shitposting subreddit for saying I believe anprims and anti-civs are fundamentally ableist, and a mod that only has posts dating back 3 weeks banned me saying "I don't think you're right for this sub."
I'm honestly pretty fucking livid rn, I love that sub, it's a great place to destress and share memes with similar minded people, yet now I've been banned from it and it honestly makes me very annoyed and sad. I have never seen the mods ban any sort of anarchist infighting on the subreddit before, and then this new mod comes in and bans me for it. I know there's nothing I can do about this, but I really just needed somewhere to vent about this, I'm honestly pretty pissed rn, I said what I thought would be the logical end state of anprim and anti-civ ideology, calling it edgelord (I admit might have been slightly extreme, but I honestly still stand by that belief, and am welcome to be challenged by it), and instead of trying to tell me how I'm wrong or misguided, I was just banned. On an ANARCHIST sub. I apologize for this post, I just really have nowhere else to vent about this, I hope anyone reading this has a wonderful day. Thank you
Update: I am now permanently banned from that sub
2nd update: mod unbanned me I believe, but I'm gonna leave this post up because I'm still a bit suspicious of said mod in question.

Gimme your best/worst!I AM A 9/11 TRUTHER.
I write this upfront so that everyone that is used to compulsively down vote any kind of commentary that suggests that there is something wrong with the official version of events can do so right away without having to read my whole rant. BTW, I already tried to upload this to r/LateStageCapitalism, but they somehow won#t let me.
For anyone that is interested, this is my take:
I am a central european guy born in the end of the seventies. When 9/11 happened I was already quite interested in world politics. My people (a 'rather' leftists crowd, but not exclusively) where already quite aware of the dirty little wars the american government held somewhere far away from their own threshold and the covert shit the CIA was up to. The world was run by money interest and the players without conscience seemed to be the winning kind..
When 9/11 happened I wasn't exactly shocked or distraught by the incident; for us it kinda looked or felt more like "..that the americans had it comin. I mean, well that's what's going to happen when you screw over whole etnic groups! At some point, someone is going to take it personal.."
Soooooo, in the beginning there was no reason for doubting the official story. The first time I heard abot 9/11 cospiracy was when two Moroccan friends said that those twin towers where brought down by explosives and it was the Mossad who did it. Of course, we had to laugh and immediately started ridiculing it, because when something like this happens and the muslims say it was the jewish people; I mean that pretty much was to be expected.
It was about 2 or 3 years later when I first saw Loose change and I have to admit, that in the beginning I was EXACTLY that kind of conspiracy guy that most people get so upset about. The excitement of the information provided, the allure of having stumbled over some shocking hidden truth just got me hooked. It didn't of course take a lot of time until I realized that by far the most people saw this as rather beeing some sort of "cheap set of lies" and suddenly it was I who was ridiculed and laughed at. I try to be as honest as possible. I don't think I am particulary smart but I also don't think that I am stupid. This new experience really got me riled up. And it got worse. I learned that I can not speak openly anymore about the way I saw the world.
After the third Reich, Holocaust/Genocide, all that shit that happened in that time; I mean it feels like we should have learned a few things from that mess; maybe we should have learned that racism is inherently stupid and also that we should not trust everything that our government or mainstream media tells us. Therefore I ask myself why are people so upset about conspiracy theories?? Shouldn#t it be our responsibility to ask further questions and with that assure that our governments won#t get infiltrated by soulless creatures with potentially harmful ideologies??? I mean, when you have doubt in some official explanation like 9/11 and try to figure out what the truth might be.. , aren't you automatically creating a conspiracy theory?? So, should we just shut up then and let them own us??
I stopped watching the telly.
9/11 clearly made me understand that it's not just that they are not telling us the whole truth (what is pretty close to lying); no 9/11 showed perfectly that the people in power straight up betray and deceit us. They intend to keep this shitshow running no matter what!! Politicians don't work for the people (as by the true meaning of democracy they should). Those opportunistic people just work for themselves and their little careers and therefore after they got your vote that brought them in the position of power they don't care anymore about your interests and the shit they promised. Because at that point they are running with the big dogs!!
As some of you might imagine, I could go on and on about this..
But to not get lost in some of them many, many aspects, I would like to conclude this with an interesting little theoretical construct a friend of mine came up with:
Hypothetically - imagine you had unlimited money and recourses and you could go to some farn away location to exactly rebuild the twin towers and wtc 7. Imagine you had a hundred of those rebuilds and of course a hundred times two airplanes completly boozed up with cerosin.
Now imagine 9/11 never happened and you were tasked to use those hundred attempts to bring down those structures exactly the way they did- to not even leave a trunk or a recognizable structure of those buildings.. Would you really think that was possible?? How many times?
Everybody believes what he/she wants to believe. Humans are driven by hormones and biases. But logic and causality are our allies!! When the Boomer generation thins out, sometime in the future there will be a new mindset looking more objectively at all of this. I hope for the best, but I am also prepared for the worst..

Peace out!

The Anarchist Media to Come: A Brief Yet Triumphant Review of the Past, Present, and Future of Anarchist Media
i read bussies
I can understand such reaction,it had to be thinked trough but i cant agree on Muammar Gaddafi since im a Gaddafist myself
Gaddafi was socialist,you cant hate on comrades,the only reason he's consider a dictator ih cus of western propaganda since he was putting dolar and euro in danger with his golden dinar plans so he had to go
I get a lot of heat for being a "religious socialist" but Gaddafi is closest to my views,its socialism and religion co-coexisting...anyway even if youre anarchist and even if you dont agree with every left guy,dont openly mention it
Mods are really trigger-happy on some subs
I cant really talk about DPRK but they still belong on the left spectrum,there is also a long propaganda campaign since the times of cold war.They have nuclear weapons and one of largest standing armies in the world and west MSM claims "citizens dont have enough food" like come on , anyone with a brain could write something less obvious lie
Please read about brother Muammar,he wasnt as they like to claim he was totally opposite
Dont trust me,but there is a data showing what was libya like under him,if u want il give out some links
But dont read anything MSM says it nothing but blatant lies,people on quora were much more honnest and accurate when talking about libya
I also have neighbors who worked in libya under Gaddafi and in iraq under Saddam.

We gotta make this happen
What in the world does this have to do with anarchism? It looks like you might be mistaken on that btw. Where do you work just wondering
An inscription showed up alongside a river in Germany during the drought which says "If you see me, weep" The stone was inscribed as a famine memorial during the middle ages.
Why we should support communismHello, I think we should be basically positive towards communism and support them because:
\- It is better than capitalism. In communism we have a state and hirachies, but people are better off than in communism.
\- It is a way to anarchy. It is easier for people to get into anarchy if they are basically positive about leftist issues.
\- It is a realistic way to anarchy. I think it would be much easier to lead a communist state to anarchy than a capitalist one.
But then why help the communists and not work on anarchy?
The idea of anarchy is one that I dare not hope will be implemented in a big way in my lifetime, but if we help communism, it will pay off in the end and help us.
I would like to add that by communists, of course, I mean those who understood communism and not tankies.
English is not my native language, so please understand my bad english

Lol these Republicans really be turning the fuck up behind trump and have the audacity to say we can't turn up behind police injustices while they rioted in the whole white house and are going against the FBI now.. and they call us anti american terrorists 😒Like ain't that some shit?
My car is a fascist free zone
Oakland, California stands up to settler colonialism!
self-help eviction situationI was assualted by the property managers of a house I was staying at for three months. After the second month the property managers came into the house while I was out attacked friends who were staying with me and had called the cops while I was not home. the officer called me and told me I had to vacate, but ten minutes later he called me back and said I had legal residence there after seeing a utility bill in my name. I get back and the house was trashed all my belongings broken, tv smashed air mattress slit open.
I didn't leave but after the third month they came back I got threatened with a pick axe so I called the cops. This time a different officer came told them to drop the axe I told him my side with the bill I had which wasn't enough more cops came and they didn't listen to what I told them it wasn't enough so I just said I can't move right away I needed time so I said I'll try to be out by the end of the day which the property managers said was okay.
A few hours later one of the property managers came to see If I had left and I couldn't anyone to help me get my things out, I told him that I wouldn't be able to leave until the next day he said okay but then threatened me if I wasn't out by then. After that I was walking to a friend's house and on the way the other property manager the person who threatened me with the pick axe was standing on front of a apartment building. I was sketched out like wtf they had just but the building and forced the locals who had been living there for decades out so they could cash In on the student housing boom (it's fucking bullshit because those people were people were part of my community). So the guy who was standing there waits for me to walk to him and starts to ask me if I wanted a bike that was chained up and said I could have it if I wanted. I thought it was some kind of apology I said sure, after that he asks me how long it was chained there I said idk like a year or something, he then tells me no it wasn't it was there for three months then sucker punches me in the face I go to swing back but I get instantly tackled and pinned to the ground by the other guy made the agreement with. ( This mother fucker literally followed me and waited for something to happen). While I got pinned to the ground I got kicked in the face multiple times. I slipped out and got away. I get to my friends house and realize I was cut up and bloody I got pictures of the injury's and sent them to multiple people for safe keeping.
I get a ride to the hospital and they have a cop come and take a report. He asks me If I wanted to press charges and I asked if I can wait, he said it's okay I can call they have it reported. I get 10 stitches on my cheek and eyebrow and released.
I waited a couple days to call the police station to press charges then get told by the detective that it wouldn't be smart to go against them total intimidation... After that my morale got crushed and I was then homeless and hopeless.
I can't find a lawyer to help me. I've called a premise liability lawyer just to be told they cant help I'd have to press criminal charges And find a lawyer that would personally sue them for me.
I then goto jail because I failed to keep in touch with my probation officer for that situation for eight months which put things in a stand still. Now here I am not sure what Todo, I sat in jail for eight months with nothing I could do about it I'm getting the same run around. That house is still there just now with my couch on the front porch....
Sorry for my shitty grammar I typed this on a shitty phone with fat thumbs. I have the following things
The badge number of the cop who backed me on the initial visit.
Pictures of the injurys caused by the property managers
I don't have the bill anymore but I'm pretty sure they are obtainable.
The hospitals definitely got to have records aswell as the police report.
What I want Todo is sue them and the investment group who they manage for. Not only have they fucked me but a bunch of other locals have been screwed over by these people who think they are above the law and are can displace us for university students.

It's impossible to say how many people hold anarchist views, but for active supporters you could look through this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_anarchist\_communities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anarchist_communities) list and try to find membership numbers.
Another way might be to take a proprtion of r/Anarchism members to reddit users, and extend that to the global population, but reddit users are in no way a proper statistical sample, so the \~3.4 milion number that comes out of such a calculation should be treated with a Mount Everst sized grain of salt.
Sure, it sounds nice. But who will pay for the fuel, the drivers' salaries, maintenance?

The point of the AutoModerator removing ableist content isn't so that people screen the same words and re-post them. It's so that people can reword their statements and reconsider the language they use that is instrumental in the oppression of others.

It's good to acknowledge that you're triggered. It's good to know why you're triggered.
The fact that you behave this way isn't your fault. It's a natural strategy your brain and body learned to survive the trauma of your upbringing. You could even feel grateful for it, because it *did* help you to survive.
You are not a bad person. It's not your fault.
Unfortunately, it is now built into your brain and your body. And managing it is your responsibility.
You could consider therapy with someone who is trained in helping people with trauma.

self-help eviction situationI was assualted by the property managers of a house I was staying at for three months. After the second month the property managers came into the house while I was out attacked friends who were staying with me and had called the cops while I was not home. the officer called me and told me I had to vacate, but ten minutes later he called me back and said I had legal residence there after seeing a utility bill in my name. I get back and the house was trashed all my belongings broken, tv smashed air mattress slit open.
I didn't leave but after the third month they came back I got threatened with a pick axe so I called the cops. This time a different officer came told them to drop the axe I told him my side with the bill I had which wasn't enough more cops came and they didn't listen to what I told them it wasn't enough so I just said I can't move right away I needed time so I said I'll try to be out by the end of the day which the property managers said was okay.
A few hours later one of the property managers came to see If I had left and I couldn't anyone to help me get my things out, I told him that I wouldn't be able to leave until the next day he said okay but then threatened me if I wasn't out by then. After that I was walking to a friend's house and on the way the other property manager the person who threatened me with the pick axe was standing on front of a apartment building. I was sketched out like wtf they had just but the building and forced the locals who had been living there for decades out so they could cash In on the student housing boom (it's fucking bullshit because those people were people were part of my community). So the guy who was standing there waits for me to walk to him and starts to ask me if I wanted a bike that was chained up and said I could have it if I wanted.

Please help me create a free worldHello everyone,
The world, as is, would greatly benefit from a few changes in the way we operate. Changes that would significantly improve on our rightly due liberty. I'd like to help make one of these changes a reality by creating a safehaven of freedom untouchable by any state, built for the people, by the people.
I have already figured out how to create a space which would legally immunize ourselves and such a safehaven from virtually anything, and will now move on to designing. This begins with the architecture of the next best social system. Your opinions and ideas are the most important asset to making the best version of such a design; one which includes and compromises not only with the ideas of anarchists but also of any other group aiming for a fairer world.
Based on my analysis of most systems, the foundation of a social system consists of a consensus mechanism (to make decisions) and a revision mechanism (to evaluate decisions). Please help me help us all by giving me your opinions on what you think is the best way to reach consensus, and evaluate decisions arising from said consensus in a society. Detailed answers are considered a luxury.
Thank you for your time,
Nobody

There's no passive aggressiveness here, you're just retarded. This idea that everyone in the past was stupid, misguided, or evil and that only now, in the 21st century, have we finally been fully enlightened is also retarded. I'd say the guy who needs to go outside is the one who can't come to terms with the fact that people are and always have been somewhat different from each other.

People seem to think that capitalism is a system that just needs to be "fixed" when in reality it needs to be replacedIt seems that the system we live in is so corrupt and vicious, that it is near impossible to fix, rich corporations who control the media are manipulating so many people to believe that capitalism "works" simply because it works for them. The system that has been put in place to make it seem like we have some speck of control is also a lie, we vote for our leaders but our leaders are always either complete idiots, or rich 1 percenters who dont have our interests in heart, its a cycle that only benefits the people who keep it running.

Upgrading C02 grenadeI have these recreational C02 “flash bang” grenades.
It is composed of a plastic grenade shell with a metal core where the C02 is placed. The grenade is activated by a simple pin mechanism and detonated around 3-5 seconds after.
What could I put in between the core and shell to react with the c02?
Would it be non lethal or lethal?
Fair but I do enjoy talking to people in the real world. I'm not always that angry and entitled but sometimes, I get triggered.

It might be a terrible way to stop Governmental interference, but couldn't it still be anarchism, if the right corporations took over?

They have one....but apparently they're on a little brigade where they all come here an post their ban messages there.
No I told them that, now I’m asking you
Quite hypocritical to call yourselves anarchists while also suppressing people you disagree with.
Maybe you aren’t anarchist after all 🤔
I am not defining it in my own words. I’m defining what anarchism is by the subreddits description.
In the description you claim to seek liberation from oppressive systems yet you ban people constantly for talking about ANCAP?

Sad thing is that you’re getting those “fun facts” from some random website like Wikipedia.
If you open up any translation of any ancient text etc. you’ll realize that the term “lovers” had a complete different meaning back then.
The way that the Sacred Band was organized was by putting 2 best friends side by side to make the whole unit stronger and a lot of times the couples constituted by the “teacher” and the “student”.
Now, if they were sucking each others dicks or whatever doesn’t really matter. And even being labeled “gay” by the modern society, they probably were more of a man than any of us pussies around these days.

I hate “an” caps
At 12 weeks the baby has hands and a heartbeat after the 1st trimester the mother can begin to feel the baby kick. Clumps of cells don’t kick. FL has a ban on abortions after 15 weeks. The ideal policy would be NO ABORTIONS AFTER TWELVE WEEKS with exceptions for rape, incest and saving the mothers life. There is no other reason to get an abortion after 12 weeks

So you believe in private property then great! But if i hire you you own your labor and are selling your labor. Your labor is the product. I know its kind of complicated but i feel like you will get it!
It isnt about power though. I used my time and energy to make something. Animals dont do that either so they dont really lay claim to anything since they cant produce anything. Thats a pretty weak argument. Private property does provide benefit though because it will make your life easier and more enjoyable. If you dont own things what stops anyone from just picking it up and walking off with it?
Because if i make something or produce something to use its mine. What makes you think you dont own it?
Do you have the right to own what you produce?
Oh yes you got the full dose of public education
These kids probably dont even know what capitalism is. Sad the brainwashing in public schools is going to lead to more marxist retardation.

I think the funniest part about this whole thing (maybe also saddest) is that these idiots saw the Zach Snyder movie based on a comic book, which is loosely based on what amounts to a legend of the ancient world, and think it's history.

Birds make nests. Foxes make dens. Ants build anthills. Beavers build dams. Spiders build webs. They literally spend their time, energy and resources to build homes as a common function. Some also produce them directly (spiders silk). In fact many of OUR industries are based off of things that animals naturally produce. What a ridiculous statement.

Antiwork is a failure, even if you try to stop it, the liberal scum have burned it to the ground.
Shoplifting communities and anarchism?*everything I am about to say is satire and roleplay, I do not endorse the breaking of any law. God bless our nation*
What do y'all think of shoplifting? Is it always morally neutral or good to shoplift from big companies?
I used to be part of the tumblr lifting community and honestly, it felt like a very anti capitalist and anarchist space. It was very critical of capitalism, fast fashion and focused It's lifting efforts on unethical products like those made with animal testing. The community just got a bad rep for being mostly teenaged girls committing victimless crimes and getting away with it. Of course there were problematic elements as well.
As an adult and professional, I now limit my lifting to assisting others in distraction tactics, especially when I stumble upon people in poverty stealing food. My mother taught me to to this, actually. Find the closest sales attendant and distract them so the lifters can move towards the door/ another area.

Its hard to stop the seeds of doubtI'm not saying this is true but it does almost plant the seeds of doubt in my mind. Am I being tricked? or are they just genocide denying?
​

True but humans always stand on the shoulders of their ancestors. Without our ancestors achievements we would just be dumb apes scraping hides and sucking grubs like the old days.
Can I claim what I produce with a 3D printer as my own or must my claim be tempered with the knowledge that my creation is only possible because of the "production" of hundreds of other minds and hands? After all without my tool I would never have produced a single thing right? Therefore did I produce it or did my tool?
The trouble with humans is we are like corals or beavers in that we incorporate inanimate objects into our "organism." If humans were coral polyps our houses and infrastructure would be our skeleton and we do all work together to build it.
The greatest nations have the greatest infrastructure just like the greatest coral reefs are the most immense and vast. A coral would certainly not try to claim the entire reef as his construction so I think it's questionable when other humans do it. The average human is a weak fragile grub like a termite without the shelter that society provides.
Difference between Anarchy and Anarcho-Capitalism?im polling to see what the take is on this. i feel like capitalism in it's truest form (laissez faire?) might be something that pops up in anarchist society. so, i know nothing about the strict anarchist idealism, so please share your thoughts on that makes an ancap different from an anarchist. thanks community!

I'm new to all this. CMVI more closely identify with anarcho-capitalism, but I hate adjectives. I believe that anarcho-communism and anarcho-capitalism are both compatible. People should get to choose what economic system that they choose to follow. If someone wants to be a socialist, great, move to a commune (or whatever it is called.) If someone wants to follow capitalism, also great, do that. The only catch is that you can't force others to follow your economic system.

Hello, u/RAZOR-Bullettpt_YT! Unfortunately, your post has been removed, as it appears to be better suited for r/Anarchy101, which is a great resource to learn more about some of the fundamentals of anarchism, its history, etc. We recommend stopping over there and first **using the search bar** to see if your question has already been asked and answered before creating a new post.
Some other great resources you may be interested in include [our introduction to anarchism](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/wiki/primer) as well as [An Anarchist FAQ](https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/index.html). It's a massive (and imperfect) resource, but for someone trying to learn what anarchism is about, we would specifically recommend reading [section A1](https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca1), [section A2](https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca2), and [section A5](https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca5) in particular.

Basic Principles Of Anarchism?Greetings Comrades, I was just wondering if anyone could explain or link to an explanation of what commie-anarchism is I'd like to learn more about my anarchist comrades. For context I am a Marxist-Leninnist willing to hear new ideas and possibly become an An-com. <3

(R)evolution in the 21st centuryDo we --- the radicals in labour movements --- have an idea of how to move beyond class society? To fight for daily demands is prio 1, yes, but what more do we have to offer? Perhaps this article (from a Swedish syndicalist) can stir up debate:

“While the general strike remained a key concept for syndicalists on the European continent, the so-called register method became a key concept in SAC’s (r)evolutionary approach. The register method was actually a whole kit of methods, systemized to increase the cohesion and power of workers.”
What to call anarchismA little while ago someone asked what to call anarchism when talking to those who fear it.
A good answer is "stateless societies."
You can also say "Reverse domination hierarchies."

Feelings about cop dogs?General feelings about cop dogs?
During massive protests or street battles with police, how do you defend against police dogs?
I have heard several arguments about this. There is a school of thought that says, police dogs are still cops, but with teeth and the ability to tear into you or kill you and should be treated just as we treat human police during conflict.
The alternative, one that I agree with, is that they are abused animals, emotionally and physically, to become cop dogs and should be handled with care or defended against/disabled in a way that does not hurt them because it's not their fault that they are cops.
Thoughts?
Shoot them down through the shoulders/neck into the chest, or aim just off center of the x between the ear bases and the eyes if you want to kill them, or stab in the neck. I heard you don't want to go with a random head-area shot unless the bullet path will also go through some lungs or heart...

The Ontarnōvian ManifestoThe Ontarnōvian Manifesto
by ADOADP
Preface
Ontarnōv is a political ideology developed by somebody. It believes in many facets which will be explained thoroughly in this text.
Part the First: Meta-Anarchism
The first facet of Ontarnōv is Meta-Anarchism. Meta-Anarchism is a strain of political thought developed in the 1970s in France. It believes that there is no universal solution to every problem in the universe, and any attempt to impose a universal order is inherently oppressive.
It attempts to instead implement a plurality of societies, which it calls a ‘collage,’ a kaleidoscopic disorganized organism of free-flowing cultures and novel societies.
Akin to a group of children playing without direction, inventing novel ideas, and grouping in the free flow of joy. This is better than forcing all to follow one doctrine or set of rules.
We are opposed to borders, property lines, flags, and Nationalism, which restrict the free flow of people, cultures, and ideas.
Part the Second: Futurism
Futurism is an Italian artistic movement from the 20th century, and a defining cultural feature of Ontarnōv.
Futurism rejects anything and everything that has to do with the past, and believes in a violent and furious overthrow of the chains of old.
An embrace of violence, speed, youth, and a full overthrow of old Neo-Reactionary society is necessary to harrow in a new age.
We believe in the extreme acceleration of technology, the exploration of space, and the liberation of all from biological constraints placed by a cruel god.
Part the Third: Fully Decentralized Matter Creator
Anti-Capitalist and Anti-Communist, the ideal economic conditions for Ontarnōv hold further and further decentralization, with the ultimate utopian goal being a single device which can hold the might of an industrialized economy on one person.
Nobody shall “own” land, sky, or water, but instead merely occupy the land on which they are standing, the air they are breathing, and the water they are drinking.
With the FDMC, one can wander the lands, and no longer be restricted by the need to be in a large society for economic sustainability.
The optimal human size of relations is a group of under 200 people. This decentralized fashion is, in the author’s opinion, the perfect size.
With progress, technology tends to become smaller and more compact. So it is not remotely unlikely that we will see a shrink in the amount of external support one human needs to thrive.
Part the Fourth: ë
ë is the inconceivable and impossibly infinite conscious being known as the universe. Represented to every being in a different form, it came to me as an ouroboros circling a black sun.
ë is every spoke of the wheel and the ground it rolls over
everything and nothing
everyone and nobody
ë
Part the Fifth: Absurdism
Absurdity, chaos, disorder, contradiction, and irrationality are beautiful and shall be worshipped. Order is a disease that breeds oppression.
bitch.

It's an increasingly common technique being used by small dicked losers who can't win arguments with words. Reddit's violence reporting functionality is about as good as its search function.
What is the actual symbol for anarchism?I see many organizations use the symbol where the A is inside the circle, but I see a few where the A is going out of the lines, which I think fits better to anarchism. but I suppose there isn't a law to the symbol and you can draw it like you want?
Dog bites are so incredibly dangerous. They can cripple you, and cops do not have as much control of their dogs as they'd like you to think. They are emotionally abused creatures, but they've been treated all their life as a weapon, so we must also look at them as a weapon. A very dangerous weapon. There's a reason why cops are so trigger happy around family dogs. They know how much damage a dog bite can do, and it scares them.

Have you ever seen someone attacked by a German Shepard? If a dog is coming at me and I fear for my life and safety. Im gonna plug it. Why would I give a shit about its emotional distress, when I would have emotional distress from a dog attack?
A German Shepard is running full speed at you, with teeth and snarling hatred, I doubt you will give a shit about the dogs emotional state.
This has oppression Olympics written all over it and is the easiest way to turn marginalized people of color against each other (something that benefits the powerful more than anything else). If you want to have a unified, intersectional movement you have to bring marginalized people together
I’m not against looting necessarily but if you want people to back you in your anger, taking from others until they have nothing is not it. It’s how expansion of police violence is justified and other demographics in your community become weaponized against the movement.
They aren’t a buffer class. They are victims of the same problems in America as other marginalized folk. Don’t alienate other disenfranchised people. Intersectionality or nothing fam
Edit: also white authors telling people of color what is and isn’t settle colonialism is fucked to begin with
Don’t loot family run stores. Loot international companies with insurance if anything
So should we loot black-owned businesses as well?

Trump supporters could arguably make the definition of a cult more than it can a political party. “A system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular person, or object” I have met trumpers who literally believe that he is chosen by god to be president. Like to go against was sacrilege anything against is a conspiracy or lie. Tell me how they are not a cult

The ones looting looks well dressed and well fed. No surprise there... Maybe if they loot more luxury items the revolution will arrive lol
Then why do anarchists gloat over it? Okay its a means to an end when you are oppressed by the state and capital, sure we can justify it, but is something thats “rad, lit, would love to do it here…” like the comments say? Idk
Funny how those words kinda just mean "anything we don't like"...saying there are differences between men and women isn't "transphobic"
So what did this looting spree materially achieve for the people? I can’t see any more benefits other than short term satisfaction for luxury goods, like how is this helping anybody other than people who got to take something?
Who are "we" in this case? I question if there are any form of "we"-thinking among these kids.
Alot of fraud accounts going in with the goal to cancel the possibility to have discussions about it, works everytime on CIA Reddit.

They may not truly believe them, but they've been effective enough to make the masses believe they're too stupid to understand economic concepts. Otherwise fractional-reserve central banking would be on par with homicide as far as crime severity goes.

Is Anarchy ever possibleThe degree of ability to completely self manage plus respect other individuals is the ability I have seen in almost no human being yet.
Have you seen a human being who is respectful of the rightful boundaries of humans plus sentient beings?
What would it take to build this society although I look forward to it from seeing your description, it includes speciesism which is not yet common to see today.

This a great way to perpetuate the view of “anarchy” statists hold and counterintuitive to the movement. This isn’t anarchy, it’s just theft and chaos.
Ok than enjoy as all the normal people over look anarchy as nothing more than meaningless violence, chaos, and stealing. Bro if this is the normal view of stealing within anarchy no one will believe in the Ideology. We must be anti theft or fucking no body will take anarchy seriously.
An actual reasonable person here nice
Loot the coffers of the state and take back what they stole from you. Not a fucking candy store of some middle eastern immigrant. That’s not “tight” it’s just being a senseless piece of shit.
The problem is they aren’t attacking either of those things. They’re destroying their community and causing harm to their own neighbors who are more or less in the same boat as them and under the same thumb of control.
I don't know the intentions of OP, but what we are looking at is a failure of both state and capitalism. The current regime is what brought these people to do this, and we can remark on it with criticism or praise.
I do agree though that there are quite a few brain-dead posts on this sub that are basically just /r/publicfreakout x-posts. "Hey look! These people are smashing a wall! Anarchy! Right!?" Regardless of context, it's posted here.

I see this stuff pop up here and there. Loud declarations of "RCP IS A CULT. SA IS A CULT." But that's typically the extent of it. They're never alongside any evidence or claims of any particular behavior. Just a generalized "omg they're bad cult."

I agree with this. Most transgender people are outwardly supportive but when it comes down to it, most cis people refuse to be romantic or sexual with them. That’s the problem. I am bisexual, it’s not my thing personally, but I do wish they had more support in receiving their personal gratification
I have a question regarding trans people being the common enemy.. in today's western society I really struggle to see how trans people are opressed, all I see is overwhelming support for them, there's so much changing happening to accommodate them I can't see where this trans hate is that everyone talks about. This is a genuine question don't lynch me please ✌️
So I'm not allowed to ask for other people's perspectives? I'm not trans so I don't know hence why I'm asking.. tha KS for being so insightful thougg
Are AnCaps just Right-Libertarians with extra steps?I’ve been wondering about this a bit and it just seems that those two groups have so much overlap.
Anarchy won’t be good for you anarchists. You want all out chaos but you would be the first to die as you are weak and unskilled in terms of weaponry.

I can only assume their definition of anarchy is "when political instability"

If you are really in favor of Anarchy and no power stuctures - then put your oney where your mouth is - book the next flight to Afganistan, Iraq or Lybia.
It is very comfortable to claim you all are Anarchists living in a Western countries, and enjoying 3 meals a day.

Oh I see, you prefer that comfy anarchy, those with a functioning country with hospitals, electricity and running water that is not poisoned since somebody had to follow environmental regulations enforced by the government.
