Yeah it’s endlessly frustrating to me that people are so quick to give confused newcomers exact instruction on procedures to world build. Non-compete did that too by laying out his concepts for anarcho-cops, anarcho-prisons and anarcho-government and people still parrot that bullshit on reddit everyday. Anarchy should never be a program for world building imo.
I haven’t read The Dispossessed but I’ve always meant to. Don’t really have the attention span for a novel.
Good point. The advent of AI takes this even further, now people won’t even be looking to real people to tell them what anarchy is, they’ll just ask chat gpt, which will just regurgitate youtube and reddit comments reacting to Breadtubers telling them what anarchy is. It’s really a problem of childhood education - people aren’t really taught to do independent study, to learn critical thinking or to even think for themselves. Just to memorise what they’re told. I explored this somewhat here.
I don’t need anyone’s permission to describe settler colonialism.
My own country, including my mother’s village is colonized by settlers who literally live in her parents’ house.
It’s so obsessive to still be this angry that I talked about colonialism in South Africa 7 years (!!) ago. Just let it go.
If believing that helps you justify to yourself the irrational rage that you’ve been loudly directing at me starting from the moment I explained white South Africans are settlers all those years ago, have at it.
But honestly it’s not healthy how much energy you put into this supervillain shtick. At some point you need to face your demons. Hating me doesn’t stop you from hating yourself.
You couldn’t even bring yourself to quote the word “settler” in your response.
That person has been attacking me like that for 5 or 6 years because I used the word “settlers” while talking about white South Africans on raddle. It’s odd but ultimately harmless.
I’ve never been a primitivist. Stop planting doubt and suspicion with your highly idiosyncratic approach to anarchism on this fringe forum. k thx.
Instead of engaging with the points presented, it’s far easier to dismiss the points by claiming a superior understanding of the subject being critiqued, all while neglecting to articulate this supposed superior grasp of almighty Marxist science. Brilliant. Kill your idols, comrade.
you use the word ‘free’ loosely for someone using a site where bootlicker is considered an unacceptable slur
i’m telling you exactly what you want to hear to end this tedious exchange. too bad the mod decided me talking about the unappealing flavor of boots is somehow ‘bigotry’. this place is worse than reddit.

if i were using multiple accounts the discourse in this place wouldn’t be so fucking insipid.

Central governments aren’t the exclusive domain of Marxists. There’s zero mention of using the state to uplift anyone. Holy moley the projection.
Apparently these anarchists are in hiding because all I see is Dengists in every direction.
If there are really anarchists reading this, perhaps scared to speak up because you don’t want to cross the Dengists who clearly control the discourse here:
I didn’t write this essay for spiteful Marxists; rather, it’s a heartfelt tribute to young anarchists, urging you to persist in your pursuit of anarchy and resist the pressure from these patronising bores to conform to their conservative values. I see so many of you expressing frustration over Marxists mocking your positions. This essay serves as a form of prefiguration, encouraging newer anarchists to envision a more creative and liberating path than the all-too-common ancom to authcom pipeline.
We all need to stop centering the egos of Marxists in everything we do.
So you’ll buddy up with a SA settler in a sad attempt to inflict damage on me after spending years trying to destroy someone else for being a SA settler? That’s extremely unprincipled.
