  • Depends on the nature of the disagreement and the reasonability of the other side. Preferred solutions are, in decreasing order of preference:

    • Come to an agreement through compromise and debate
    • Proactively demonstrate why the other side is wrong by doing the thing and showing them why it works
    • Agree to disagree (i.e. tolerance of diversity)
    • Tell the other party to fuck off (i.e. freedom of dissociation)
    • Worst case scenario, the minimum defensive violence necessary to protect ourselves

    We’re at the bottom bullet point with respect to capitalists. We’ve been at the bottom point since capitalism was established, because it was established through violence and has been a continuous source of violence against humanity. But for most other problems, the other possibilities are better alternatives.

    When push comes to shove we’re just gonna have to play it by ear, as has always been the case, but anarchism provides a framework to rule out certain possibilities because they do not reflect the future we desire (i.e. prisons, police, states, standing armies, etc.) and therefore are ineffective methods for bringing about a liberatory future.



  • I literally was spamming black flag (🏴) emojis, I literally have a Circle-A as the top banner on my profile, “anarchist” is the literal first word in my bio…of course I’m an anarchist 😆

    Anarchist are delusional kids who think everyone is going to magically work together.

    That assumption is neither sufficient nor necessary for anarchism to work. We don’t need absolutely everyone to magically work together all the time. We can handle our disagreements without establishing systems of domination over others. If anything, these systems of domination simply amplify existing disagreements.


  • And replace this civilization with what?

    If you think the USA has no right to exist then neither does any other country on the planet.

    Exactly! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

    They all have bloody pasts.

    Yeah but the United States has a particularly influential bloody past, and a bloody present and future. I.e. the United States is the most dangerous enemy of humanity in recent memory, for example the Indigenous genocide, structuring an entire society around white supremacy, American imperalism and war all around the world, the climate catastrophe we are forcing upon the world, and the cyberpunk technofeudalist dystopia our tech bros are forcing all of humanity to submit to.


  • The world will never just get along. There will always be power hungry people who want to control others and have no morals.

    Yeah no shit Sherlock, that’s why we need to turn our guns on the empire, on the capitalist class, on the rulers of 🇺🇸 and 🇮🇱 and every other State, on this vocal minority of power hungry monsters who explicitly refuse to be reasoned with and shoot them until they’ve been reduced to paste. I am 1000% with you on the necessity of political violence. Burning these systems of oppression to the fucking ground is the bare minimum 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    But these weapons were never going to be allowed to fall into our hands. These were defense contractors for the empire. These were the weapons that would be deployed on us.

    “Speak softly and carry a big stick”

    Yeah that’s fine for ordinary people, but the United States has no right to “speak”, no right to carry any “stick”, big or otherwise, and no right to even fucking exist. 🏴🏴🏴🏴
