I will admit to being a whackjob anarchist. As far as only knowing how to argue and fight, your own posts are often awfully combative

there is a joke in the academic community about anarchists... the punchline is something about how anarchists cant seem to get organized.

Lmao, thats actually pretty good.

You are absolutely correct too, at least about the contemporary ones, they are so obsessed with avoiding structures that there literally aren't any organizations to join if one was inclined towards this sort of activism.

anarchy is not the way to lead a community nor is it the way to run a society or a country or a planet.

communism is actually the way... but not this crap that they are shoving down our throats that is not really communism but instead is an evil dictatorshop... communism, in my opinion, is COMMUNITY-ISM, where a community lives together and works for the common good of the community and THERE ARE NOT ANY ELITE RICH THAT LIVE THE FANCY LIFE WHILE OTHERS STARVE TO DEATH.

Not gonna argue with you about communism, but I will ask if you are familiar with Kropotkin or Anarcho-Communism in general. This isn't that far from my own ideology or what you are describing as community-ism

no, i dont know about that... i only know that everything that i have seen that labels itself as "anarchists" always turns out to be some loony organization like occupy wallstreet or antifa and i am pretty sure that i want nothing to do with that..

it requires a spontaneous energy to spawn a community, and i am pretty sure that our current establishments do not want any community to take root because the end result is that we would topple the establishment just purely by spontaneous osmosis.

our elite establishments are scared shitless of community ran groups.

the current establishment can not control you and can not tax you and can not enslave you if you live in a community.

You won't get any argument from me here. These people are often just wannabe rebels with no understanding of the underlying philosophical ideology.

I would think you would find some academic interest in anarcho-communist theory, a lot of the things you are saying are what attracted me to it. There are at the very least some interesting ideas about achieving communism with libertarian leaning social values. Kropotkin is kind of the starting place for this, and Spanish Catalonia was able to achieve something resembling these ideas from 1936-1939 before their side lost the war.

Not saying it's perfect, or the answer to all of our problems, but it attempts to solve the right kind of problems, and it is certainly not discussed on it's merits nearly as much as it should be.

Also not a fan of how they seem to have embraced every nutty wokist ideology coming from the leftist establishments. There are pro-vax mandate anarchists out there, as crazy as that sounds to me
