You're not the right kind of anarchist
For using the word government??? What kind of crazy gatekeeping is this?
Good gatekeeping.
Can you explain? I don't understand what's happening here
Gatekeeping.
Right, I suppose if you explained then it wouldn't be gatekeeping.
No, im just gatekeeping the gatekeeping community. We love gates
I think doing this is unkind and wasting a chance to educate a (potential) companion.
@OP When you use "goverment" instead of state, some people get reminded of american right wingers and right-wing libertarians which use that word most often in the public discourse. Most anarchist use different vocabulary like "state" because its clearer defined and because it is based on anarchist theory that goes back hundreds of years. Personally I think its pretty clear what you are talking about in that sentence and its unfair to call you "not the right kind of anarchist" because of that.
