Are Lemmy anarchists okay? How does this person have 24 upvotes? In what universe are anarchists NOT doing class analysis, (therefore) don't want to abolish capitalism, and don't want to fight archism?
I suspect this is just because libs absolutely DESPISE comrade @Cowbee@hexbear.net and will upvote anything smart-sounding that supposedly addresses whatever is being discussed?
Also, gotta love the whole "I have this opinion and many anarchists will disagree and that's what anarchism is about". Like, buddy, you haven't read one book or talked to one anarchist IRL, let alone organized in your entire life.
They largely admit as such, to taking a vibes-based approach that is individualism ad absurdum.
It makes me wonder if there is an anarchism of the 21st century. Something that actually logically works in theory and could be materially implemented. So at least if I come across another dork that wants anarchism-in-form-primitivism-in-action ism, I could at least point them in a direction for them to learn the most realistically up-to-date materials of their own worldview.
Then again that's just too far into the weeds even for me, and I'll just stick with saying "who's gonna build and maintain the roads"
What I tend to point to is anarchist orgs doing mutual aid and community building within the confines of existing societies and trying to fill in the gaps with mutual community defense. The zapatistas reject the anarchist label, but I do support the mutual aid groups and whatnot that meaningfully improve the lives of their communities. I'm not aware of any broader systems that outright exist outside of the context of an existing society though, outside of small communes.
I can't think of anything either. Every scattered bit of info on actually-existing anarchist projects that I've read about have been mentions of experiments conducted in the Soviet Union by anarchists. Insofar as the closest I've heard of in the PRC has been the maoist communes.
Agreed, that's why I tend to acknowledge the ones that operate within broader systems in a prefigurative sense.
