What's the point of the sidebar's rules if the mods are going to bury their heads in the sand about the lemmy.world-lib bot-farm

    Hmm, consider that Anarchism is. in essence, the idea of revolutionary socialism without specific school of thought/dogma. It's why Anarchists don't go by specific names like ML-strains. We don't call ourselves Bakunists, Kropotkinists and Goldmanists. The various flags we use is about which praxis we emphasize, rather than a schism. There's no anarchist heresy (and we don't consider AnCaps "Anarchists" in the first place)

    Likewise, most anarchist follow the same approach. We learn from what worked. I've read Marx, I've read Trotsky and I've read various MLs and Marxists as well as anarchists and took the best parts for my praxis. So did the other Anarchists I know of. We're still anarchists, not because of what theory we espouse, but because of the non-dogmatic praxis we practice.

      Ik that there is no such thing as "Kropotkinism" etc., was just using the "traditions" as a way to differentiate it from/make a comparison with "anarcho"-capitalism

      All of the major anarchist works are on my reading list and I do want to understand them once I have a good grasp of Marxism as a philosoph/school of thought.
      Thus far I find materialist dialectics & organized (party) work to be one of/if not the best approach(es), but that might change as my understanding grows, who knows :p

        I personally can't stop suggesting the Anarchist FAQ enough as the first stop for getting into Anarchism.
