Anarchism

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

The Conquest of Bread Quotes by Pyotr Kropotkin - Goodreads:

"So utopian are we that we go to the length of believing that the revolution can and ought to assure shelter, good and clothes to all - an idea extremely displeasing to middle-class citizens, whatever their party colour, for they are quite alive to the fact that it is not easy to keep the upper hand of a people whose hunger is satisfied."

Quote:"The alliance is also marked by a strong ambivalence. It was founded with the intention of ending the hegemony of the West and the imperial practices of the hegemonic power, the U.S. Attacking the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency is a central project within this strategy. But at the same time, the BRICS countries are not striving for a fundamental change in world trade, they are ultimately only seeking to inherit the West and the U.S. within the framework of the world capitalist system – and to fall into the same imperialist practices that the U.S. is accused of. This is evident not only in Russia’s imperialist war in Ukraine, but also in the conflicts within the alliance: China and India, for example, are often on the brink of war in the Himalayas over border disputes."

Anarchists should rethink common vs private property

@anarchism

I'm searching for an anarchist poster I saw back in 2008ish. I just remember the text: "Our Own Dishes. Our Own Wars."

Does anyone remember this/know where to find? The usual searches aren't turning up anything.

Thank you!

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

Here's the linoleum. I think that the little ridges that weren't cut deep enough inside the bottle actually make it look better. My SO disagrees.

I'm working on family planning with my partner, and we want to have children within the next couple years. While I'm definitely an anarchist, I'm not a 'studied' anarchist and don't know as much as I'd like about the political theory. I watched a video from Andrewism on the topic, which made me think about this topic. I largely agree with his assessment, and want to raise my children without a hierarchy because I believe that it's the best method of raising children. The problem is that I don't really know how to go about it or how to bring it up to my partner. Obviously there isn't a 'right' way to do it because each child is their own person and I'd need to balance that with the responsibility of being the parent, but I'd love to know some guidance from other anarchist parents.

Workplace theft is the norm: your bosses are stealing from you every day. They’re living off your sweat. When you take money out of the register and put it into your pocket, that’s not workplace theft. That’s workplace justice.

I am reading "The Anarchic Order" by Anselme Bellagarrigue and "The Sociology of Pierre Joseph Proudhon" by Constance Margaret Hall.

Edit: Based off of a suggestion from someone I am rewriting this post to be more informative

I have been working on a mobile app that is supposed to help groups of people coordinate their actions towards a shared goal. I'm done with the basic features (I'm talking barebones here) and I am trying to find a community or two that would be willing to work with me to test and improve it.

The way the app currently works is that someone sets up a community name that other members of the community would use to get into a group. Anyone in the community can suggest goals for the community but the goal that is shown first is the most approved goal. In addition to suggesting goals anyone in the community would be able to suggest tasks that someone else in the community can either approve of and/or contribute towards. Finally if you click on a task there is the opportunity suggest and vote on reasons for doing or not doing a task.

The philosophy of this app is that if people are working towards a shared goal then individuals will choose to take actions that push that shared goal forward. The main thing stopping people is the lack of clear actions and steps that someone as an individual should take to help push that goal forward. That is what this app is trying to fix.

The following are some screenshots of what the current app looks like:

In a country where days of national mourning are like weekends, every national tear for the dead of the social and class war is also a sob of hypocrisy. At the same time as the local alignment with the international anti-immigration policy of terror and death drowns more than 300 people on the Greek sea border, the Greek national team holds a minute’s silence and the political staff conducts memorials for the wronged. What hypocrisy! That the nation should mourn those it murders in order to keep the Greek ideal untainted and ironclad.
