I get that conservatives, especially in the US, are getting quite problematic and have some overlap with the far-right. They are still mostly workers, and thus deserve solidarity, especially when they support a cause that the anti-authoritarian left also supports. It seems they could use some help organizing.

I think the left really needs to start to increase discussions with people outside of their circle again, the isolation has been going on for far to long. Issues where there is overlap between the two wings, like the topic of Hong Kong, are the perfect chance for this. I think it would be a great chance to show that not all leftists support the authoritarian methods of China, as they seem to believe and not all "antifa types" think that everyone on the right of them are fascists who should be beaten in the streets and of course, show solidarity to Hong Kong.

Sure, they might not want to work with anyone on the left, but maybe it's worth a try? Anyone in the US/Georgia want to support them? Thoughts? Am I being to naive? In my opinion, actions like this are happening way to seldomly:

The argument that Marxist-Leninism and Marxist-Leninist-Maoism are the only valid ideologies because they are the only ones that held on to state power is essentially an appeal to past and present hegemony. This is eerily similar to an appeal to Capitalist Realism—that there is no alternative.

Just as we must push back against neoliberal capitalist ideology that incessantly tells us “there is no alternative,” we must be sceptical of ideologies that suggest theirs is the only way.

Do you guys welcome Mutualist Anarchists or is this site strictly anti market? I support the philosophies of individuals such as Benjamin Tucker and Pierre Joseph Proudhon. Im looking for a place to debate the merits of market economies and cooperative firms with other Anarchists of the more left wing persuasion.
