I was organizing with a group of (mostly) anarchists today. In my experience every anarchist I've organized with in real life is cool af and takes their praxis very seriously with major time commitments focused on improving the lives of workers and lumpen. They are usually hotter than any other tendency too shrug-outta-hecks. No whining about "tankies" or Kronstadt, just showing up to meetings, finding creative solutions and putting in the work.

Despite our nominal non-sectarian rule, I feel like there is still general derision towards anarchists here so I just wanted to remind everyone that these internet anarcho-Atlanticists on [insert dunk_tank instance or subreddit here] are just an online phenomenon and not real life. (Have I met those guys IRL too? Yes, but not in real organizing just in book clubs etc and they are tedious but there's still more to work with than than a lib.)

So here's to our anarchist comrades maduro-coffee keep keeping it real

my partner calls themself an anarcho-tankie sometimes (they are an ancom).

they do this to disassociate themselves from the online anarcho-liberal NATO-oids. funny-clown-hammer

also they said they'd be absolutely happy living under a socialist state of any flavor over any capitalist one, even one with a "small or minimal government".

they dream of a stateless, classless, moneyless future just like we all do.

in the end, whatever comes of whatever revolution occurs in the future, we will have to discard all orthdoxy and fuse together a wide variety of leftist ideologies into something that applies to the material conditions. if we're picking up the pieces in a post-collapse scenerio, i'd want anarchists to take the lead and they will.

we all have our roles to play and we'll see what comes out the other side. left-unity-2
