  • lol sorry for suggesting you read something that could benefit you and your community. But if you want an elevator pitch, sure:

    Anarchism is all about mutual aid. The system (yes, it’s a system. It’s not “anarchy is chaos” like you seem to be implying—and like the centuries-long conditioning has made people believe) runs on community, and rejects not order, but hierarchy. You are living proof that anarchism is possible and works. You aren’t waiting for a system to tell you that you need to donate to feed the poor, you’re feeding the hungry yourself. Food Not Bombs is anarchism.

    In short, anarchy isn’t the absence of order, it’s the absence of hierarchy. It’s the existence of mutual aid, and relying on community to exist and thrive. Capitalism runs on hierarchy and insists that’s natural. Nature runs on need. Just like we could.

    Read Anarchism and other essays by Emma Goldman, it’s a good introduction.

  • Well apparently you’ve never listened to Against Me! back in the day and in your early 20s having fun talking about anarchy you never read anything on the theory behind it.

    You really should.

    Because all of the things you described you and your wife doing are the cornerstones of anarchism. Literally the most basic building block. So you are seriously uninformed and you don’t realize how much you actually agree with anarchism.

  • Rats.

  • Right? It felt like the drug gods were smiling upon me—and these all happened in my 20s, when I was doing tons of drugs. Since I pretty much stopped beside the occasional wild night out/show once a year, I haven’t found anything! The ground drug gods smiled upon me often and with love and primo scores

  • Then you lack imagination

    There are testing kits for just this kind of situation. I’ve found maybe a dozen random bags of drugs on the ground in my life. I’m definitely not recommending people so drugs they find, I’m just telling you it’s very much not a death sentence.

  • Baby, I’m an anarchist. And you’re a spineless liberal.

    We marched together for the 8-hour day and held hands on the streets of Seattle. But when it came time to throw bricks through that Starbucks window, you left me all alone! (All alone)

    You watched in awe at the red white and blue on the Fourth of July. While those fireworks were exploding, I was BURNING THAT FUCKER AND STRINGING MY BLACK FLAG HIGH

  • Eh. I get what you’re saying, but so much of the disillusionment from the potential dem base is coming from their constant promises and constantly arriving at the obvious conclusion decades late and then acting like they’re the most progressive politician in human history. While in reality it’s a half step toward the policies we should’ve enacted forty years ago.

    It’s not that people are like “so what.” It’s the deep seeded knowledge in all of us that the party will try to throw us crumbs and claim like they’ve always been on our side and are the most righteous policy makers that are saving us, when in reality they’re walking hand in hand with people that are pushing us to absolute limit of barely acceptable and then dangling what they’ve known they should’ve done forever ago in front of us when we’re finally at our breaking point.

    They don’t care about us. They’re not beholden to us, and it shows. They’re beholden to money and are performatively throwing us scraps when they have an opponent so far right that it’s literally the threat of fascism. And they are very much responsible for the continued rightward march of the entire country.
