  • A complete tear-down simply confirms the end of the status-quo, with no implication of anything better rising from the ashes.

    Most anarchists would advocate a strategy of ‘prefiguration’, often summarised as ‘building the new world in the shell of the old’. You don’t have to tear down the old system before you start building its replacement.

    In anarchy, those with power reign supreme over those without. Most power and resources are already consolidated in a tiny minority.

    Once a society has reached a condition of anarchy, there would, by definition not be a tiny minority with a concentration of power and resources. Anarchy means no rulers/authority.








  • Did the people downvoting this post even watch the video?

    It’s been a while since I watched it, but I think it’d be accurate to say the TL;DW is basically that we shouldn’t care about ‘left unity’ if that means abandoning vulnerable people and reliquishing our deepest values. Essentially, if ‘the left’ doesn’t deliver safety for us and the people we love, then ‘the left’ can suck it.

    I would have thought people on an anarchism community could appreciate that, and if they don’t, then they need to do some thinking, and maybe learn some history to see how anarchists have responded to demands of ‘unity’ and been persecuted in its name.
