So, since coming here, I've been accosted left and right by ML's calling me a Lib for not being a ML. Essentially that's what it's come down to.

My personal philosophy aligns with Bakunin, Kropotkin, and Bookchin. I consider myself an Anarcho-Communist or Communalist, depending on the situation, I suppose.

I firmly oppose fascism and authoritarianism. I believe in direct democracy and the inherent goodness of humanity.

I really thought that I had found a place where leftist thought was going to be welcomed, but so far I have not found it here. All I've found are hateful people who want me to leave.

Like I said elsewhere, it's almost as if they don't want new people to join their cause. Like they're actively pushing people away who could have the potential to learn, and who have explicitly come here to learn and to engage in good faith.

I just don't get it. I feel like our cause will never come to fruition because of these types of attitudes.

    Really sorry you're made to feel this way. This site needs more anarchist comrades not less. :ancom-heart:

        Also instead of arguing with us, libs read some nice theory

          I'll put it on my list. There's so much to read. I've read a lot, and there is just endless pages and pages of shit I could read. I could read the rest of my life, and spend all my time reading theory, and zero time doing anything else that helps the cause (like, say, talking with other leftists on the internet).

            Lol, buying some food for homeless gives me more hope than reading latest red/black infighting, but I like different perspectives to better relate/discuss stuff irl
