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.

so r/anarchism does not endorse lemmy (feddit.de)

apparently r/anarchism has been in lockdown for quite some time now and they link to their own reddit alternative called raddle.me, which is not fediverse integrated, sadly. they also have a long list of alternatives, but lemmy isn't one of them

That seems to be the case because lemmy's main dev is a ml. (edit: meaning 'marxist leninist, apologies for not being clear on that)

It's somewhat sad for me because the whole philosophy of the fediverse is anarchistic in its core, it is how it should be, it is how the internet should work. So I wondered - what are the biggest anarchistic communities in the fediverse so far?

edit: here some context I found on raddle: 1 2 3

Ah yes, MLs, well known for being young and not reading theory lol

Exactly. I'm glad we agree on the nature of the situation.

So far that has been my experience in here so far. I've been told to read Chomsky by someone arguing in favor of state media control, and I've had someone cite Lenin to claim that "dictatorship of the proletariat" doesn't imply violence. The essay cited is the one where he literally writes "civil war gives the proletariat practice at arms." As far as I can tell, they haven't read any of it and just assume everyone else hasn't either.

These are not people well versed in political science.
