Thank you, general secretary of the *checks notes* Communist Party of China…

The original post did. That’s the ones who claim they’re “libertarian”, according to the post. Did you accidentally comment on the wrong post?

Are you claiming that libertarian MAGAs are anarchists now? Lol. ^^

I think the yellow color is coincidental, but I was a bit confused as well.

I think it’s supposed to be a play on the fact that “libertarian” used to mean “anarchist” until capitalists appropriated the term.

Ancaps believe in negative freedom. Not in positive freedom.

A choice made under coersion of not being able to eat is not a voluntary one.

The statement is mostly uttered by people who just turn a blind eye to the violence enacted everyday by the system. Get off your high horse.

The core of the cognitive disconnect you are demonstrating lies in your attempt to impose your own interpretative “rules” on the discussion

Now, here’s where you’re wrong: I didn’t impose any rules on anyone. I simply didn’t feel like explaining the basics of anarchism when posting in an anarchist community.

Do you not understand my perspective here at all?

No, I mean all liberal, representative democracies. I would actually call those “undemocratic”.

Consensus, or at least 90%. But concil members aren’t representatives. They’re delegates.

I guess you didn’t spot the “/s” in my comment.

What do you mean “distant cousins”? What’s your deal, wtf are you attacking me? Why are you so arrogant?

Lol anarchism means no rules amirite? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 /s

I think that anarchists don’t really like any party. No matter if they’re in power or not.

I think whether or not something is funny is legitimately answered by “94% of people found this funny”. Especially considering that humor isn’t an objective measure.

But yeah, sure. This post isn’t funny. Neither is Monty Python or seasons 6-9 of the Simpsons.

No, I don’t want to explain the basics of anarchism when I’m posting on an explicitly anarchist community. 🙄

I’m not really sure if I know “the best” source for the completely uninitiated, but

• Here’s a very short pamphlet
• Here’s a video
• Here’s a playlist
• Here’s a very thorough FAQ

Do you know what communities are?

Anarchism is- due to a lot of state propaganda - a quite misunderstood ideology. I need to explain my worldview on pretty much a daily basis. So I hope you understand that I’m not always in the mood to go over the basics time and time again. That is why I posted on an explicitly anarchist community without therequirement for thorough analysis why one thinks that way. This is why I was acting so defensive.

Imagine going into a queer space and asking: “But what do you mean by ‘non-binary’? There are men and there are women - that’s a biological fact!” While you could be asking a legit question, the context where you ask it matters and might get agressive reactions when asked in the wrong context.

Here are the cliff’s notes and why your first comment was so ignorant: The european tradition of anarchism arose in the 18th and 19th century and does not mean that “might makes right”. Rather, it states that hierarchical power structures should be replaced with horizontal power structures where people get a say in political matters proportional to how much they’re affected by it. This would result in a more peaceful, just and efficient world, as it fosters mutual aid and cooperation, instead of social Darwinist notions of competition and exploitation of the weak.

The upvotes tell a different story.

You probably just don’t get it. It’s ok. You don’t have to.
