Yeah basically the title. A group I am part of does not really see all the "unorganized" anarchists as part of their potential partners for action&projects. Thats why I am looking for experiences, examples and even theoretical texts that explore the cooperation of these different flavors of anarchism.

Sounds like this group is so over concerned with ideological purity testing that they're never actually going to do anything useful and are thus actually just cosplaying.

Just go volunteer at a food bank, you'll meet people you may disagree with on a good deal of things, but chances are a good chunk of their heart is in the right place, way more so than a snooty reading club with entry requirements.

Theory is certainly neat and useful, but a huge component is just... basic in person human interaction.

I dont see that tbh, imo you are making a lot of assumptions here. There still as a decent amount of practice and somehow its easier for then to build coalitions with non-anarchist groups like unions, tenant initiatives etc.

CNT-FAI of spain were the perfect example of this lol

CNT were the unions and the FAI were more illegalist/individualist types, and they basically split up tasks. CNT were responsible for the social change, labor unions and such, and the FAI dealt with direct action.

Here are some links, hope they help. If they don't you know what examples there are:

It's a false dichotomy. Social anarchism is individualist and individualist anarchism is socialist.
