        In a “dismantle unjust hierarchies” sense, sure, but I think states are inevitable when people make a society.

          that is confusing. that sense can very well be communist. would i be wrong to presume you dont really know what are either of them?

            Well “anarchist” can mean a lot of different things depending on the person so I find it more useful to just say what I agree or disagree with.

              bro, you are commenting in a community called “moretankie196”, of a marxist-leninist instance whose name is inspired in a soviet city. we do care about concepts and definitions.

              you are very welcome to learn, with us, though :D

                  Except that’s not what anarchism is, and you can’t just say “Anarchism is whatever my heart says it is”, by saying that it has a lot of different definitions to people. That’s not how definitions works, especially for a political ideology.

                    That’s unnecessarily aggressive, and not what I said at all.

                    That’s not how definitions works, especially for a political ideology.

                    Were it so easy.

              Exactly, some “anarchists” are just liberals who like to have an edgy/faux-radical flag and symbol (you), while others are communists with ideological differences who are still willing to work with us toward a similar goal.

                cool ad hominem but I never claimed to be an anarchist

                  Sorry, but I got the impression you were, as you repeatedly said you agreed with parts of anarchism and think anarchism can mean many things. If you consider being called “liberal” an ad hominem then what are you?

                    idk, I guess some flavor of socialist? DemSoc? I’ve never really sought out the perfect label, I prefer to just be pro/anti specific concepts or ideas.

          In that case you’re holding a belief that goes completely against the ideas implied by the label you use. Yes, there’s always variety of thought in all political fields but this one is an outright contradiction.

          Also, nice Trevor Moore pic.

            I don’t really use the label “anarchist,” as I said I like some laws and I think states are inevitable, the thing about hierarchies is how some (alleged?) anarchists described the principles to me
