Dunno, I've never seen a consistent tendency attached to Radlib(or at least ive never picked upon it if there is), and I've never seen someone self-identify as a Radlib before either(lol, please prove me wrong). I think it should still be safe.
I had someone on here use it to describe far right libertarians which to me feels totally incorrect.
i mean vaushite is already in use and could serve as a slightly more general term
Anarcho-liberal or liberal-anarchists is a term I've been using since Sean KB said it on the antifada.
Anlib for short
I object on the basis that I can see this being unironically appropriated by radlibs.
a beatnik is someone who
displayed the more superficial aspects of the Beat Generation literary movement
So they could be a play on that; aniks, anarchniks, libnik so on
I can't think of any reason why any individual on this forum would object
Fauxarchist emphasizes the illegitimacy of their claims to anarchism. Otoh, maybe it's still confusing/derogatory.
Also because it only keeps the -archist suffix I guess the technical meaning of Fauxarchist is "rule by phonies" or something.
4chanarchists isn't entirely accurate, but I like a good pun
The problem going on here is that all of the terms for LARPers start innocuously, but quickly become dog whistles used to shit on all anarchists under the barest loincloth.
"anarcho-bidenists", "anarchist with reddit characteristics", and "anarcho-liberals" should just mean V**shites who don't organize or vote for Dems, but I constantly see MLs using them for "anarchist criticising AES" on this site.
"Baizou", "Anti-communists", "Western leftists", and "white/American leftists" are also used as a thin cover to be sectarian and dismiss all anarchist thought as colonial and obviously wrong because it's not MList support for non-American countries.
I don't know what to do about any of this, because discouraging any of the words or phrases themselves will just get replaced with identical new sectarian dismissals. I'm getting very tired of this site.
