Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

you've met tons of people like that. they just don't brag about it because they don't see it as anything out of the ordinary. there's networks like this all over urban areas, and more are forming every week. most of the people who make up these networks have never read any theory, they just see a problem or three and they decide to fix it.
I mean if he doesn't have a lot of social skills he is also less likely to have met people with top level social skills than average...
They/Them but no worries I only just added it to my profile. I am well socialized but I unfortunately live in a unique area that lacks organized workers of any kind.
Ah yeh I did wonder since a lot have it shown. And I have no social skills so I just tend to project that onto everyone else struggling lol.
It's so like that tbh, no worries
I live in a strange place but I hope you are right
Your sister sounds cool
theory helps inform a strategy, but tactically speaking there's no substitute for socializing with your neighbors and being a friendly problem solver.
So we must find the social people and radicize them!
we must also socialize the anti social internet left cuz a lot of this is just networking.
"Covid socialist" like a covid baby or a covid puppy. Not properly socialized.
Not the kind with ethernet cables?
lain cereal experiment 😋
You can't do socialism without being social. Honestly, this is why I love anarchists so much: they are out there doing stuff, helping and feeding people.
Your sister is the kind of person that should be writing her methods down.
That's a good idea. Maybe I'll write her ideas down for her.
Now imagine her power level with some solid grounding in theory.
