Anarchism

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. 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'm digging anarchists' more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated

Bookchin is a very flawed source. Despite having contributed good ideas to anarchist theory in his earlier days, he later engaged in what to me seems like a personal vendetta against some forms of Anarchism for various reasons. Some justified at the time (hedonist lifestyle anarchism) but I think the main reason was that Anarchists consistently called him out for creating what many people consider almost a religious cult.
