    Actually lemme go deeper. Look at how inactive the anarchist comm is. Where bread friends at. This site radiates some real weird energies at anarchists.

      I think this is more a function of the limited userbase than an indictment of the inactivity of the site's anarchists.
      For instance, on main, you have 12,000+ users yet we see the same 5-10 posters providing the bulk of content, and only a few hundred updoots per post - something that hasn't really grown as expected.

      c/anarchism comprises just over 10% of that figure, so it's to be expected that there would be a dearth of content - especially when it's kind of redundant: the whole site is supposed to be communists, so if there's anything an anarchist wants to post, chances are they can put it on main.

      This comm. needs to carve out its own niche I feel. Most of the posts are bits and pieces of anarchist theory - I'd like to see that expanded to counter the sitewide perspective of anarchists being 'unenlightened/uneducated children'.
      Additionally, this comm. could serve as a Q&A sort of place for anarchist topics, as well as be a breeding ground for anarchist memes, though I don't want to see it become a place for people to vent sectarianism just because they get fed up with being a minority on main.

        cool lets start! let's refute some tankie talking points from ihstorical and philosophical evidence!

        so, the core diff: 'you need a strong central authority to not be crushed by capitalism/fascism'. this seems super hitlery to me. a military history friend once told me that decentralized command structures tend to win. I know for a fact p2p networks are harder to kill.

        or maybe arrange activism? anyone else in the redneck CHUD hell dessert of southern california? im thinking edible/droppable cacti seed bombed just sort of around, but I know nothing about agriculture. do cacti even do seeds, or are they like onions?

      anarchists get banned on reddit pretty damn quick. not that I would know anything about that, having never used reddit because I have taste and dignity and devours a whole little caesars pizza out of a dumpster

          I mean, i've been scared off from here by tankie shit a couple times. i know you guys try to keep it under control, but anyone who suggests a society with billionaires is communist isn't gonna be rational or reasonable and I have no idea how you would even begin dealing with that. nowadays i stick to anarchist parts of the internet (like this bit of this whatsit) or keep my mouth shut about what I believe in.

          or fail miserably to keep my mouth shut about what I believe in and do all my internetting through proxies and disposable one-shot accounts that I post with once and never use again because I know what the comments will be.

      Reddit Anarchist spaces are a nightmare. It's have v*ush posters thinking theyre Anarchists and half people who think someone in a Che shirt is about to execute them for having an :anarchy-a-white: pin on their backpack.

      gah that shit frustrates me so much. like, yes, fuck tankies, but communists still have good shit to say even when they're wrong about big things. and it's nice when there are good people who think a bit differently to remind you that you sound insane and should prolly say this back to yourself once you're sober.

    nope, never. but all left spaces are eventually ruined by dogmatic tankie snowflakes who are basically libertarians who like red and wank to (the cooler actually hot) uncle joe. which is disappointing, because sometimes tankies are hot in that 'you're very wrong but I love the enthusiasm' sort of way, but its impossible to share space with authoritarians long term. they eventually purge anyone who isn't, and I think enough of us see that that we just walk away.

    i think improving material conditions is directly attacking racism,sexism, and homo/transphobia. idk how the state can effectively tackle these issues without elevating the material conditions. i am uneducated about anarchism though
