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.

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

Calling someone a “tankie” is kind of similar to calling someone “woke”. It serves as an easy way to dismiss someone whose opinion you don’t like without actually engaging with their ideas. As such, I feel like the definition has been watered down with time.

I got the sense a few years ago that the colloquial definition used online referred to people who unironically thought Stalin did nothing wrong. Most self described marxist-leninists don’t even fit into that category. As the scope grew people start using it to refer to basically any ML. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it’s been used to refer to anyone, Marxist or otherwise, who opposes US involvement in the war.
