I'm tired of reading about "right-wing anarchisms" (slrpnk.net)

The fantasy-story of right-wing anarchy is creating misinformation, someone thinks that something like "anarcho-capitalism" is real philosophy, instead of the linguistic distortion of fascist-capitalism that it is.

Should people even specify that they are left-wing anarchists now? Do we really want to put a stop to this propagandistic joke? Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.

And I will tell you more: anarchism is by its nature also pacifism, as it aims to prevent any form of uncontrolled power on others. This is to silence even centrists: another fake group, people who think that it's not "extremist" in its own abstinence, in delegating violence.

There is absolutely nothing "extreme left" about anarchism - you are literally engaging in the same false framing liberals and fascists are engaging in.

Anarchism is radical - not extreme. Understand the difference. It is not "further left" than basic socialism is. It never has been.

That term refers to the extremes of the political spectrum I was referring to, and therefore perfectly contextualized. What do you personally mean by extreme? Violent? That is not in any case the dictionary meaning of the term.

If your "political spectrum" classifies the literally LEAST extremist political ideology as "extremist" it probably means you need something better than the "political spectrum," no?
