  • "At The Cafe" by Errico Malasta and the documentary "Living In Utopia" which is on Zoe Baker's youtube channel were what made me hop the fence from being a council communist to an anarcho-communist. It was my starting point, so maybe it would be a good starting point for you. Pyotr Kropotkin is also a great source for anarchist theory, like "Conquest of Bread" and "Mutual Aid." If you want someone more recent then I hear Murray Bookchin is pretty good, although I haven't gotten around to reading anything by him yet. And as someone else mentioned, Anarchist Library is a great place to look for pretty much anything anarchist related. You'll likely find any of the books I mentioned there for free.

  • Yeah, I originally joined dbzero because its an anarchist instance and I am an anarchist, but grew to dislike it cause of how pro-AI it is. So I swapped to slrpnk. But slrpnk is down and so I am stuck using dbzero till its back up.

    I find it kinda wild that they are so pro-AI too cause all of the friends I have that are anarchists are varying degrees of anti-AI. Personally, I would be fine with AI if we lived in an anarchist society because no one would be negatively affected by it. However we don't, so there is only a very very small niche use case where you can use AI ethically. Otherwise I see it as scabbing. Being anti-copyright shouldn't mean walking all over artists and other creators.

  • I wonder if there was a historical event about 10 years prior that might explain why the communists would view the SPD as just another variant of fascism? Maybe we should ask Rosa Luxemburg what she thinks on the situation

    Edit: Not defending their anti-semitic and other fashy behavior, cause fuck them (they are MLs after all). But lets not pretend like the SPD didn't do anything to attract the ire of the communists.

  • My thoughts exactly

  • Individuals have the power to block instances so I don't really understand why people are pushing for defederation. Just feels like ruining the fun for everyone just because they aren't having fun and aren't using the resources they have to make it fun. Defederation should be a last resort, and people seem to want to use it for petty squabbles. I don't like .ml or hexbear cause they're both tankies, but I'll just block the instances myself. Don't get why we gotta remove the choice from everyone else. But hey, I'm on .dbzer0 so if .world wants to defederate from .ml it isn't gonna affect me any

  • I was two when this came out lol

  • Maine was forgotten for once, I feel so seen

  • If bullpup revolvers are heresy then I guess I am Dark Mechanicus. I love my unconventional firearms

  • It is exactly this. Anarchists are generally really bad at explaining their ideas in a digestible way for the average person. I myself struggle at doing it. I think most of it is what you say, and I think part of it is that phenomenon where experts in a field have a hard time dumbing things down for people cause they overestimate the amount of knowledge the average person has in whatever field. I know what this poster is saying cause I have the needed historical context and ideological knowledge to understand what they are really saying. Most people don't and read this and think we are fucking stupid, insane, delusional, and utopian idealists. Anarchists are horrible at conveying our ideals cause too many of us are dedicated to conveying our beliefs through inside jokes.

  • More like an il duce. Lenin's idea of democracy (in practice) is a lot like Mussolini's idea of "democracy." I don't think Hitler ever tried to pretend like Germany was democratic

  • Where bread book

  • I don't think they are saying tankies support the confederacy. I think they are saying that the regimes tankies tend to support are just as bad (Assad's Syria, North Korea, Gaddafi, Khmer Rouge, etc.) and their arguments for why are so weak and shallow they could be used to support the confederacy by the same logic.

  • Its not a figure of speech, its part of a quote. "When the people have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich" - Rousseau

  • Anarchist music is better. Mother Anarchy Loves Her Sons and A Las Barricados are peak. But in my opinion, the peakest is Italian anarchist music. La Marsigliese Del Lavoro is my favorite revolutionary song of all time.

  • The SPD used a reactionary militia to crush a communist revolution. That militia (the freikorps) would go on to help Hitler. Fuck the SPD, they're nothing but reactionaries with a coat of reddish paint (didn't even consider themselves communists, they were social-democrats)

  • Two state solution will always end up where we are now. There is no reason to divide the land, prior to the zionists it wasnt divided and for the most part people were fine.

  • Yeah how dare the Palestinians fight back against 70 years of colonization and oppression. Its always when they fight back that things have gone too far, not the ethnic cleansing. Fuck Hamas, but you can't seriously blame them for October 7th. None of this would be happening if zionists just shared the fucking land rather than stealing it. Don't blame the victims when they finally decide they don't want to be victims anymore.

  • Fucking this. Its like people bitching about when workers go on strike and it affects them. "How dare amazon workers go on strike, now my packages are going to be late." Like lets stop blaming the people who are deciding not to play the game, and instead blame the people making us play it in the first place

  • Everything the far-right uses is stolen. Libertarian used to be synonymous with anarchist till they stole it. Hell they even went after anarchism directly when the invented the walking contraduction "anarcho-capitalism." Every neo-nazi symbol is some cultural symbol they stole. Stealing stuff so others can't use it is the far-right's favorite pass-time.
