    I think all of Africa could benefit from an alliance like that. I like their freedom of movement initiatives but I fail to see how these are anarchist. It just looks like nations breaking away from western powers which in itself is a good thing.

      While the Sahel states are a progressive nationalist movement overthrowing imperialism, they aren’t AES in the same way BanMeFromPosting means. AES in socialist discourse usually stands for “Actually Existing Socialism,” usually in reference to existing states where public ownership is principle and the working class in control of the state.

      Are you a bot? Your answer is a complete non-sequitor. Or are you so uneducated you don’t even know what AES is and you assume it has something to do with Africa?

      Edit: My bad, you thought I talked about the Alliance of Sahel States for some reason?
      What actually existing socialist states or anarchist communes do you consider to be “actually good” or whatever language you’d use
