doesn't Robert Evans claim to be an anarchist? recently I mentioned him as a borderline op and someone corrected me saying there's nothing borderline about him, just posting to tell that person they were right. only a fed talks like this
It's almost certainly a controversial take but I genuinely think Matt's "anarchism is the highest stage of liberalism" thesis is accurate. I think it's why it so easily translates sideways into utopian right-libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism.
These ideas grew out of the Enlightenment; their roots are in Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality, Humboldt’s Limits of State Action, Kant’s insistence, in his defense of the French Revolution, that freedom is the precondition for acquiring the maturity for freedom, not a gift to be granted when such maturity is achieved. With the development of industrial capitalism, a new and unanticipated system of injustice, it is libertarian socialism that has preserved and extended the radical humanist message of the Enlightenment and the classical liberal ideals that were perverted into an ideology to sustain the emerging social order. In fact, on the very same assumptions that led classical liberalism to oppose the intervention of the state in social life, capitalist social relations are also intolerable. This is clear, for example, from the classic work of Humboldt, The Limits of State Action, which anticipated and perhaps inspired Mill. This classic of liberal thought, completed in 1792, is in its essence profoundly, though prematurely, anticapitalist. Its ideas must be attenuated beyond recognition to be transmuted into an ideology of industrial capitalism...Libertarian socialism is properly to be regarded as the inheritor of the liberal ideals of the Enlightenment.

I gathered a couple of links re bellingcat here if anyone's curious. Has there been anything more thorough written about them?

NED is the relevant one here. They also pushed the narrative of gas attacks in Syria which directly lead to American missile strikes.

Huh, libsocs are radlibs, straight from the kingpin himself
Anarchism is hyperliberalism. Uber idealism and individualism. It’s the peak social bourgeois social theory.
