I'm coming from a marxist background, but am currently exploring anarchism. My understanding is there aren't anarchist parties, so how does one go about meeting other anarchists in their area?
Go to your local park and yell "China good!" into the air
We'll come running
Sad moment when you live in China. Nationalists would come running :(
Sometimes I see profiles on tinder with marxist/anarchist/leftist stuff on them but I never match with them :( pain.jpg
What is it with leftists and putting out their tendencies on fucking tinder? Like that site (and also most other dating apps) are opsec hell
Gotta find orgs. If you have a local DSA there is usually a libertarian socialist caucus that can be hit or miss depending on the city.
Food not bombs isn't an anarchist org but is populated by a ton of anarchists so it's a good jumping off point.
Your local SRA will probably have some anarchists in it as well.
Edit: also, having thought about it for a few minutes just find an org you like and kick around for a while. People don't walk around with name tags that say "Hi my ideology is..." On then and to be honest it doesn't come up super often.
General Defense Committee of the IWW
Food Not Bombs
Black and Pink abolition
Anarchist Black Cross
John Brown Gun Club (not Redneck Revolt, they split over a rape and RR took the misogynist side)
Earth First! Gatherings
Black Rose / Rosa Negra (BRRN)
As well as local orgs and see if theres a coop coffee shop, info shop, or bookstore in your town.
There's also the pipsqueak radical contact list.
Imagine coming to the anarchism community specifically to make this comment.
