I was organizing with a group of (mostly) anarchists today. In my experience every anarchist I've organized with in real life is cool af and takes their praxis very seriously with major time commitments focused on improving the lives of workers and lumpen. They are usually hotter than any other tendency too . No whining about "tankies" or Kronstadt, just showing up to meetings, finding creative solutions and putting in the work.
Despite our nominal non-sectarian rule, I feel like there is still general derision towards anarchists here so I just wanted to remind everyone that these internet anarcho-Atlanticists on [insert dunk_tank instance or subreddit here] are just an online phenomenon and not real life. (Have I met those guys IRL too? Yes, but not in real organizing just in book clubs etc and they are tedious but there's still more to work with than than a lib.)
So here's to our anarchist comrades keep keeping it real
Thank you for helping me internalize that I should consider my self a "to each" instead of a "from each".
I didn't see your comment as slagging off on my type, I guess I just really wanted to vent. Thank you for being a part of one of the few days where I've felt accepted whole cloth by the people I've talked to. I am grateful to you for easing my suffering.
Solidarity is ✨magical✨ 😊
