Here’s my controversial opinion. Using phrases like ‘anarchy’ or ‘socialism’ is a complete waste of time if you’re interested in making any kind of change.
Look at the campaigns of Mamdani and AOC. They talked much more about actual issues and laws than they talked about utopian plans for the future.
If you say you’re a ‘socialist’ you give the MAGat ammunition. “Well, wasn’t Hitler a Socialist?”
If you say ‘tax the rich’ you avoid that.
You can spend time getting people elected, or you can spend time arguing about things that you can’t control.
I kind of agree; actions matters, world shall support. However, actions of many have to be coordinated to aime the same goal. And to do so, we shall be clear of the ideal we want. Hitler do not want to abolish capitalism, but you could have a fascist state that tax the rich. Without upper hand, confusions is counter productive
Every society has rules. Anarchists advocate for rules.
I’ve yet to meet two anarchists who agree on what an ‘anarchy’ system would actually look like.
ive met plenty.
I could probably count on one hand the number of anarchists I know that can agree on the fuck it is.
And iv met a lot of them.
i would need at least two hands, and i havent met that many yet
Part of the point is not deciding on the end before you get there, only the direction, so everyone can have a say.
If you want to meet anarchists that agreed on how to organize, you have to meet organized anarchists
