Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

I used to like this guy. But I grew out of him. I kinda see him as having vulgar ideas about what anarchism is. It doesn't help that he married a tankie so that probably factored into his vulgarization of anarchism.

I remember this video was alright though. It's his other videos like the one on platformism that is super problematic.

Here's part 2.

It's very 'we have a plan' kind of thinking. The economic reality is far more complex and interwoven in real societies without government. I think people like david graeber are worth reading to kind of jump out of this intro-anarchist way of seeing the world.

This is a but weird considering there are plenty of anarchists living day to day all around the world. I'm not going to click it, but the title seems a bit patronizing.

If this video is patronizing, you’re probably a condescending gate-keeper. People of all levels exist in the world. No one is born an expert.
