Don't worry I'm here for every delicious bit of drama.
Something something that's not the definition of a political anarchist.
When I was an edgy teen, I claimed to be an anarchist because chaos was cool.
As an adult I discovered my political ideaologies literally are anarchistic.
Mfw, right? I remember being a young adult, asking my parent what the Seattle riots were about, and they said, "they're crazy." When the Internet was invented and I got around to looking it up, I thought, "those people are the sanest people in the country."
Nihiled it.
As an anarchist this is me on a good day. I more often find myself in the middle getting shit on from both directions.
Sorry, you're all getting techno-feudalism.
I want to argue but... I'm currently arguing with a company that won't cancel a fraudulent order despite me having every single piece of information needed to do so. So they will get a chargeback after my card is replaced. Really trying to help them but they want that money lol
I vibe with both anarchists (cool, helpful) and communists (smart, boring). Liberals drive me crazier everyday.
It depends for me. The labels aren't really useful if I don't know the person. One kid I interacted with over a few months said enough in line with fascism that I call him that. Someone just telling me they're communist, anarchist, liberal isn't enough to really get their actual beliefs, given how much overlap and misuse of the terms there is. I will generally vibe with a more left leaning person, of course, so if any of those labels are used I'm like, cool, we'll probably have good conversations. Even conservatives I'm opening up to. Republicans? My God. I blame my mental illnesses on that brain rot.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A room filled with Liberals. Liberals drive me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once.
You have to learn to distinguish cool liberals, who are for individual freedom, democracy, progressive society; from the bad liberals who always side with private property against those things. The people in the first category are just confused; the people in the second category are actual class enemies. I acknowledge that these aren't discreet categories and there will be some overlap, but winning people to your ideas slowly, over time -- because these ideas are based in their material reality, which they need to test against their existing views -- is the only way to get through to people. Sometimes the process is quicker, sometimes its slow, but its the only way to help people see the world for what it really is, and that together we can actually bring the fight to the ruling class.
Call yourself whatever you want, at the end of the day we're all utopianists who're overly self-assured that our favorite pet-theory-system will eventually remove all suffering.
"If my vision for society were adopted, the world would be perfect!"
Keep dreaming. We're fucked.
lemmy.world mods look at reddit for inspiration.
I say let the authoritarians tear into each other while the anarchists unite
From my view the entire problem with .ml is that the anarchists there don't realize that MLs are not allies.

There is no real Liberal and Communist strife or violence. Only bad actors attempting to create political divisions in places they don't belong.
as a dbzer9 instance user myself, yeah pretty much.
If you too want to get out of the liberal vs communist showdown and smoke weed on the side come to slrpnk.net where only our memes community has liberals and communists fighting in the comments.
Maybe I am missing something with this but anarchists are hated both by communists and liberals. If they see the anarchists, they'd also gang up on the latter lol.
Do anarchists still exist anymore? I know it's a fun name tag to wear, but I'm finding very few actual "practicing" anarchist organizations.
We do! In my area there are quite a few of us and we operate a number of collectives providing things like:
Of course there's also a lot of direct action going on for various causes.
Hell yeah, this is a principled anarchist.
Depends on what you mean by anarchists. Average Americans think anarchism is lawless violence. It isn’t, and there are plenty of anarchists today.
If you listen to David Graeber everyone is an anarchist
anarchist organizations
yeah those exist. Anarchists oppose hierarchies, not meet ups
Real Anarchism is when you just run around in a big circle waving your hands and shouting "This is Anarchy"
Honestly! We need more Mutualists and Syndicalists!
I enjoy it too but not for political reasons but just for the sake of drama
Me just standing in the corner with my semi-syndicalist semi-reconciliationist model of parliamentary democracy based around a Multi-Seat District version of STAR Voting.
I'm not a regular at parties...
