Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules: 0. Post content that is thoughtful and relevant to social liberation from an anarchist, autonomous, antifascist perspective.
- 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.

I study education in college. I'm from Brazil, and here, in order to graduate, we have to write a thesis.
Mine, which I'm still working on, is about anarchist schools as a path towards the inclusion of neurodivergent students, especially those who struggle with authority and discipline.
The main conclusion that has nothing to do with the content: The topic is extremely underresearched. I've been having a hard time finding stuff on anarchist schools, let alone more specific stuff about inclusion in those. So, basically, to anyone in the academia who might read this: we need more research on this!
That being said, I highly recommend anyone interested in education read Paulo Freire and Foucault. Your manifesto touches on a lot of issues that fall under Foucault's concept of disciplinary power, which, imo, is the primary function schools serve in the present day, benefiting, of course, only those in power
Wow, thank you so much for this comment—it means more than I can say. You’re doing vital work. I’ve felt for so long that anarchist, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-centered models are the future of education, but no one wants to fund or study them because they threaten the system’s power.
You’re not just researching—you’re planting seeds. I’m sending you so much strength as you finish your thesis. And thank you for the reminder about Freire and Foucault—I deeply connect with their work, and it’s an honor that my manifesto resonated with those ideas.
If you ever want to collaborate or build something bigger from this conversation, I’m here. Let’s keep shaking the ground.
