This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself.
I also don't care that you hate me just because I didn't fucking vote for Biden, Harris, or Trump. :)
Deal with it. I'm not going anywhere.
1886 excerpt from the Cleveland Gazette, an African American newspaper, suggesting Statue of Liberty torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation for real
Interesting little excerpt from The Cleveland Gazette, an African American newspaper dated November 27, 1886.
Shortly after the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, The Cleveland Gazette suggested that the statue's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation "in reality":
"Liberty enlightening the world," indeed! The expression makes us sick. This government is a howling farce. It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders. Shove the Bartholdi statue, torch and all, into the ocean until the "liberty" of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family, without being ku-kluxed, perhaps murdered, his daughter and wife outraged, and his property destroyed. The idea of the "liberty" of this country "enlightening the world," or even Patagonia, is ridiculous in the extreme.

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

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.
In a time of heightened mobilization, like now, law enforcement systems ratchet up repression and deploy legal categories to undermine our movements by singling out particular groups and tactics for criminalization. Universities and colleges collaborate with law enforcement to target and isolate stu
