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.
Nope. I didn't walk back. Just explained more clearly. I still stand by it "Anarchy is not (implied "just" or "primarily") about resources or class or opposing archists. But about creating spaces and communities in which people can safely exist as themselves"
Often times when writing I use statements that could be read as absolutist in a relative sense and trust the context to carry it. I just hope all of the explaining I've done in this thread means that people will understand what I meant.
If you don't mind telling me, what anarchist authors or thinkers have you inspired your ideas on, that you've actually read?
But mostly I use the forgetting filter. My thoughts are a combination of countless little experiences from media, text and IRL that coalesce into my beliefs by forgetting the things that don't speak to me. This makes it a patchwork of half-remembered and incomplete ideas and that makes me rather useless at explaining them (which probably explains this entire thread), but I like it because it guarantees I keep moving forward, currently I'm focused a lot on pluralism and that's probably the fault of "all cocoons are temporary" being the last anarchist text that really spoke to me, but also part of Andrewisms videos discussing polity and free association.
