Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules: 0. Post content that is thoughtful and relevant to social liberation from an anarchist, autonomous, antifascist perspective.
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

Hello dear fellow human beings!
Let me clarify a few things.
We are one, all of us, all stardust, right from the belly of an exploding star, right to our shared evolution, history, & current technological & societal progress. All humanity and all life is one and connected, and so are all of our problems.
Poverty, hunger, homelessness, climate change, fascism, war, and even the global epidemic of loneliness & depression aren’t distinct disconnected problems. They are a singular globally connected problem. And it requires a singular globally connected solution.
All of these are problems of a skewed economy, aka wealth inequality. Those who don't have enough face poverty, hunger, homelessness, and a lifetime of financial insecurity. Those who have plenty, want even more, which leads to them dividing the masses by propaganda, eventually leading to fascism & war. Our collective mismanaged consumption is pushing us al

Declaration of Educational Warfare — A Manifesto from the Classroom Frontlines
> This is not a reform. This is a rebellion.
I wrote this as a public declaration—because the education system is not broken.
It was built this way.
What we call “school” is often just a pipeline: from trauma, to obedience, to silence. This isn’t about fixing it. This is about burning it down and building something that actually nurtures minds.

Our reporter Rowan Glass went deep inside one of the world’s most enduring anti-capitalist movements, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into a community that has defied militarisation, marginalisation, and globalisation. Granted exclusive access to the 30th anniversary of the Zapatistas' 1994 uprising, our team captured the group’s commemorations, their political education programs, and their vision of self-governance – built from the ground up by Indigenous communities.
"¡Ya Basta! 30 Years of Zapatista Autonomy" explores the legacy and future of the EZLN, reflecting on how a masked, rural rebellion reshaped Mexico’s political landscape and inspired activists across the globe.
What does revolution look like when it refuses to seize state power? And what can the world learn from a community that continues to build its own system from the ground up?

I think this video is a great starter for this community, because then we can begin on the notion that we, as leftists, have to leave our comfort zones sometimes and do the work to realize the world that we dream about.
Anark hits us with some harsh truths in this video, but it should only serve as motivation for us to finally get going. For, it has definitely worked.

Rudolf Rocker (1873 - 1958)
Tue Mar 25, 1873

Johann Rudolf Rocker, born on this day in 1873, was an anarchist theorist, historian, and activist, known for critical anarchist texts such as "Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice" (1938) and "Pioneers of American Freedom" (1949).
Though often described as an anarcho-syndicalist, Rocker was a self-professed anarchist without adjectives, believing that anarchist schools of thought represented "only different methods of economy" and that the first objective for anarchists was "to secure the personal and social freedom of men".
Rocker was involved in helping organize a number of lab

Anarchism @lemmy.ml OneMeaningManyNames @lemmy.ml Trump's anti-Christian bias notion can be used against LGBT similar to how antisemitism is used against Palestinian protest
This is another thing that was lost in the torrent of executive orders, that I now think it might require some closer attention.
Like Greenland and Canada were initially treated as typical Trump dementia, but we see there is more and more to them, and news keep getting back at these topics.
We see that the anti-Christian bias thing pops up in places. And we can bet it stems from deep places within the Christian Nationalists in the Heritage Foundation Trump team sent questions to international researchers funded by the US, asking (among others), whether they work to combat Christian persecution
Previously, Trump [issued](https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/02/07/trump-white-ho

Anarchism @lemmy.ml OneMeaningManyNames @lemmy.ml Centrists are at it again, wanting Democrats to concede on trans rights to appeal to Republican voter base: I rounded up references and counterarguments
The left is getting killed on the trans sports issue [1] [2]
Do you have any data backing this? And what analysis goes with the data?
Don't let me be misunderstood: Rights are not defined by majorities, otherwise you could have a white majority voting on the humanity of black people, and wolves voting on the right of sheep not to be eaten.
On the other hand, the public's views are heavily conditioned by misanthropic, anti-democratic propaganda, that shifts the window of acceptable discourse, and excludes people from a set of fundamental freedoms that cisgender people take for granted. As a consequence, the ubiquitous genocidal discourse against trans lives, if left unchecked leads (and this is by now not a prediction but a historical fact) to erosion of rights of women, blacks, indigenous, disabled, and every other citizen. Because these freedoms are not "special" to trans people, but are mere extension of legal scholarship and the rule of law. The ongoing American fascism is no

The authors hit out at a “growing portrayal of protesters as alleged threats to democracy rather than a vital part of public participation.”
Two major Acts of Parliament – the Police Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 and the Public Order Act 2023 – have “changed the legal landscape” for protest drastically over the past few years.

Anarchism @lemmy.ml OneMeaningManyNames @lemmy.ml Europe must ban behavioral recommendation algorithms and hate-speech, or succumb to Nazism
This thoughts were inspired by https://lemmy.ml/post/26866136 (Warning: go straight to the human curated translation in the comments.)
TL;DR Think-tanks with unlimited resources use different techniques to game social media algorithms. They are consistently pushing towards racist pseudoscience and Nazism. EU has the legal frameworks to stop targeted advertisement and hate speech, and the time to do is now. The consequences if it doesn't are dire.

There are just to many think-tanks. It was only recently that the Heritage Foundation made news, but it was too late, wasn't it? Heritage has been around for many years, playing the field of fringe religious communities, and field-testing its policies overseas.
What most people fail to realize is that Heritage is a drop of an ocean of think-tanks, which are a mostly invisible power of political influence. And this raises the question, how the fuck are these foundations so well-funded, seemingly having unlimited resources. Well, who the

Anarchism @lemmy.ml SolarPunker @slrpnk.net What's your opinion about Luigi Mangione?
"Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare since 2021, was shot and killed outside an entrance to the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan, New York City, on December 4, 2024. He was in the city to attend an annual investors meeting for UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of UnitedHealthcare. Authorities believe the attack was not random. Thompson had been criticized for UnitedHealthcare's rejection of insurance claims, and his family reported that he had received death threats in the past. The shooting occurred early in the morning, and the suspect, initially described as a white man wearing a mask, fled the scene."

(edit) I would like to point out that Luigi Mangione is only a suspect and there are currently doubts about the integrity of the evidence.

Since federated moderation remains semi-broken and this community having only one remote moderator left, I tried locking it, but even that seems to not have federated. Edit: This seems to have worked now.
I highly recommend using one of the other "Anarchism" communities linked in the sidebar.
Edit: if someone wants to take over moderation, that's fine. But I recommend someone with a Lemmy.ml account as federated moderation is still quite broken.
