    Eh, guy who thinks anarchism and anarcho-capitalism are compatible has such a loose grip on the concept that it's barely a bad anarchist take.

        But lets be honest, the magnitude of bad anarchist takes can’t all be coming from

        :yea: I got banned from almost every anarchist space just for getting annoyed at obvious fed posting. And everyone in the vaguely left subs just thinks I'm a tankie. Like jesus christ motherfuckers touch grass and do some organizing, anarchist praxis is the most accessible form of praxis one can do in the US and in the short term the most necessary.

        At least I've been working on dragging r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM in a better direction

        I feel like I have to tread more lightly in Antiwork but I'm trying to bring folks around to reading some good debrainworming stuff like Black Shirts and Reds where I can.

          I'm pretty sure any anarchist that does direct action is too busy doing that to, idk, call anyone who doesn't buy the bullshit astroturfed Cuba protests a tankie on Twitter all day.

            Yep the literal anarchist crust punk kids that went and fought with cops for fucking up the FNB free kitchen in my area had no clue that was even happening. When I told some of them none of them were like "well you know the cuban government is authoritarian too" they were just as pissed as any of us about the US starving them with sanctions and inciting violence.

              Yesterday I had to explain to one such anarchist that yes, actually, Cuba good even if you're an anarchist and not an ML, and posting images of Xi as Winnie the pooh is in fact, racist.

          For real. I'm an ML and have been doing most of my IRL organizing with anarchists, both because they're just the people who are around in my area and because of what you say- their praxis is the praxis our community needs right now.

        I think it's straight up just an ancap pretending to be an anarchist, he keeps insisting that capitalism is good and everything will just work out essentially. Not even doing a good job pretending to be an anarchist, he keeps referring to "altruism". Anarchist who wants to maintain capitalism and wants the holes filled by charity is just too dumb to be believable.
