    people who don't like anarchism at least read the bread book challenge

    I'm not an anarchist but pretending anarchists aren't trying to materially improve conditions is ridiculous. You can argue whether you think it's effective or what the long term result will be if you want, but anyone doing praxis is an ally of mine :left-unity-2: :left-unity-3: :unity:

        Oh I absolutely agree, gimme that DoTP. I'm ready to beat some capitalists with the People's stick and re-educate the shit out reactionaries with the full force of a state (or state-like entity).

        Anarchists are still my comrades despite that ideological difference, and i've learned a lot from them. Their distrust of hierarchy is honestly warranted, and mutual aid is good and effective at helping people, especially during times like right now where there isn't alternatives'/. Additionally, the ideological ideals of anarchism is coming from a place of wanting everyone to have want they want and need, which is identical to the reasons i am a communist. And to be clear, I'm not talking about libs who say they are anarchists and don't seem to even know what that means, but actual real anarchists who actually do praxis and live by anarchist ideals.

      I’m not an anarchist but pretending anarchists aren’t trying to materially improve conditions is ridiculous.

      In America, it's easy to get confused by the bourgeois understanding of freedom - to bully and extort people of lower class than you - with the anarchist understanding of freedom - to retaliate against the bureaucratic means by which bourgeois power is exerted over us. This is particularly true, when the person expressing anarchist principles is relatively young and from a nominally wealthy family.

      Rebelling against parental conservatism is a gateway to rebellion against a broader social stigmatization of economic liberation. But it often gets portrayed as immaturity in public media and dismissed as "something you'll grow out of" by older peers who are higher up the economic ladder and no longer subject to the abuses casually inflicted on young people.
