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.
Best of luck to you!
Slingshot has a list of anarchist-aligned places around the world. There's an anarchist ecosystem of websites and blogs that also will refer to places IRL.
Bookstores and gardens are good places to meet people who are more likely to be aligned. FOSS (and to a lesser extent, maker spaces) is full of comrades too. Any activism for human rights or animal rights is going to already be moving in a very similar direction. It may be the case that you have to try getting a group together with nondescript socialists, or even unaligned people who have the right values but no real interpretation of how the world works, with its dual apparatus of state power and corporate power.
Anarchism is syncretic, almost by definition. There's no perfect curriculum or party, there's just us and our circumstances, and the efforts we make to overcome them and fit conceptual pieces together until the picture becomes clearer.
Thank you! I have been trying, and there does seem to be an uptick in socialist thought, most likely due to the internet and USA collapsing. There's an anarchist bookfair in may that I plan to go to and of course I will keep training my social and anarchist skills here.
