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.

While I don't disagree with this video, it kinda misses the point or rather seems to only consider the strawman of a person advocating for unquestioned "leftist unity". Which to be honest I have not seen in the "wild" (online or offline).

However what I have seen in the "wild" (but more online) are people that seem to spend more effort and time on fighting against other people that are broadly advocating for the same idea than actually doing something for said idea and fighting against real enemies of that idea.

You've never witnessed a marxist-leninist or a traditionalist anarchist say that feminists or anti-racists are dividing our struggles and we should all unite as a class and then after the great revolution we can tackle other issues? Lucky you ;)

Thats a bit of a strawman of both but ok

No it's not a strawman argument: it's an actual argument used in certain circles. If you don't know such people, lucky you. To be fair, at least in anarchist circles i feel like the past 20y have evolved this notion a lot: intersectional anarchism used to be on the margin but is now a core part of anarchist organizations (except maybe for unions).
