    I think a lot of leftist struggle sessions about/against anarchism come from rather valid dislike of "DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOO" unexamined ideology enjoyers that slap anarchy symbols on things and really do have a "no veggies on the table, no bedtimes" empty hedonism take on life.

      Funny, my issues with anarchism have very little to do with that and more to do with how often I see anarchists voice support for NATO and American hegemony. Thankfully, the ones here on Hexbear don't have that problem.

        If a self described "anarchist" stans for hegemony and NATO that's just an "anarcho" capitalist, where the latter word cancels the meaning of the former.

        Ok how much do you see actual anarchists do this, like as a general rule people online are not to be taken seriously otherwise I could make a 'commies all are actually patsocs, gonzalites and whatever red guard bullshit' but I don't because I know that shit would be stupid, hell in real life I know a guy that calls himself a marxist/communist and is a full on NATO head, some people are just vibes based and will proclaim any ideology.

        That's why anarchism isn't something you say you are it's something you do, and I know that not everyone can do praxis or direct action but ask an anarchist actually doing anarchism what they think of NATO and american hegemony.
