    As it was told to me, most anarchists were kind of consumed by the Greens in the 90s. Despite the party trying to purge leftists, they never really reclaimed their own identity and have remained sort of hidden in the enviromentalist movement. The last anarchist I talked to wasn't part of the Greens, but was still just trying to organize Extinction Rebellion protests.

    Those aren't the only anarchists though obviously, but I really couldn't tell you what the others are doing.

        Yeah I considered mentioning the IWW, but the only one I've actually talked to was a weird Young Labor guy who was definitely not an anarchist.

        There's also an anarchist group that some fascist attempted to bomb a few years back in Melbourne. I don't know much about them, but if they pissed some nazi cunt off enough to try that then they must be doing something right.

          That was MAC, these days it's a drama thing or something.
