I'm an anarchist, a radical unionist, a card-carrying Wobbly, a community organizer, and antifa. I spent the 80s hunting down and kicking the shit out of skinheads with ARA. I've set up several NGOs to advocate for the homeless, I've served on the volunteer boards of more community agencies than I can count, and I've hosted two radio shows. I also happen to own three vintage fedoras and look good in them. In short, I am everything Sup Forums hates.
I'm also bored. Ask me anything.
Do you think the third Bill and Ted movie will be good?
Of course not. I'm an anarchist, not stupid.
Why do you think anyone here cares about your opinion? You're just bored and trying to rile up autistic fucks.
Are you still active?
Well guess what then, no air guitar for you!
When did you stop taking your pills, little Timmy?
you´re probably a nice guy.
Fight fascism by suppressing speech
Because it's OK when we use the same methods
Why are most of those things contradictory?
>obvious bait
You're a unionist and an anarchist? DOES NOT COMPUTE
Yes, but not as much as I used to be. I'm middle-aged now, and getting a bit long in the tooth to be mixing it up with riot cops; I keep getting older and they stay the same age. Now I'm more concerned with training the next generations of activists and organizers, especially since so few people get to be my age in my line of work without burning out, selling out, or dying.
Marxist/socialist/collectivist/whatever you want to call me leftist here. Why do you think anarchy is a good idea? Humans are a shit tier species and frankly I think government was the best thing that ever happened to us. I'd go so far as to say even the worst governments in our history were probably less destructive than anarchy would have been.
How can you be a community organizer and an anarchist
You do not serve anything OP.

Do some reading on the Wobblies. We're not your traditional union. We have never been about "higher wages" or negotiating with the bosses. We were founded in 1905 by anarchists, and we are openly revolutionary. We aren't trying to fix an inherently unjust system of oppression, we're trying to smash it such that no stone stands upon another. It's why we continue to thrive even after the worst the bosses and the State could throw at us for over a hundred years while other, bureaucratic unions are withering on the vine.
race exists only in the sense that it is a conceptual construct, attached to visual stimuli usually, and primarily used to shit on people that have less power socially
your image is an inaccurate, straw-manning of antiracist arguments
As an avid supporter for couchpatatoism, I've always wondered, what is the purpose and actual goal of antifa?
Hmm, anarchy is just a transition from catastrophy to a working system. After a flood there's anarchy, people raid stores for food and no one follows the laws.
Anarchy simply doesn't work, you are delusional.
... nooooooooo
Anarchy
>a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.
You're a fucking commi
It didn't work in russa cuba Venezuela china,north Korea the balken states ect
Why do you think it will work here?
this guy almost pulls off this look and then you see the ponies
FAGGOT!
Nice trips, Satan. Anyway, you don't seem to understand what anarchy is. It doesn't mean no laws, no rules, or disorder. It doesn't even mean no police. It means "no rulers." That's literally what the word means in Greek: an arkos, no rulers. Many aboriginal communities like the Hopi and the highland Yanomani have had stable, peaceful anarchist communities for millennia. Early US communities were anarchic: they met in town hall meetings and voted on laws and rules by simple show of hands. I'm not a leftist, incidentally. I'm a mutualist, which is generally considered slightly right of centre, left of the anarchosyndicalists, but not as far right as the individualists and egoists.
Motivate, why do you think anarchy is bad? Also, not OP.
Because anarchy doesn't mean what you think it means. See my previous post.
I'm a hobo. I make a small living doing tarot readings on a little folding table on the street. I'm also in the middle of renovating an old, abandoned building into a cultural centre to celebrate the traditions of hobo life, teaching people to busk, make folk art from found materials, do fortune telling, and other traditional hobo activities. Hobos were the OG MGTOW and have much to teach the current generation.
One of the more interesting threads I've seen. What's the plan after anarchy?
So you want to smash this system. It seems a waste not to have a plan afterwards. What's the big social priority in your new world order?
Antifa is a pretty broad tent, ranging from trots and tankies to individualists. The only thing which unites all of us is our hatred of fascism, racism, and oppression. We have a lot of differences with each other, but we all recognize that the danger posed by fascists is worth putting aside our squabbles to kick them off our streets.
There's no "after anarchy." Anarchy simply means any system in which people collaborate by consent rather than with a gun pointed to their heads. Anarchism ranges the entire left/right spectrum from anarchocommunists like Piotr Kropotkin and Mikhail Bakunin on the far left to individualists and egoists on the far right like Lysander Spooner and Max Stirner. There are many, many possible ways to organize a community using anarchist principles. My personal preference is for mutualism, but I could probably tolerate any kind of anarchist community in a pinch.
That's retarded
What stops an out grouo from just steamrolling them... im guessing its a larger government allowing them to exist
>you dont get it
>waaaa my specific form of communism has never been tried
Your not an anarchist you're a fucking idiot
We need small goverment not no goverment
If anarchy was so great it be the system we ve using not the current representative constitutional republic systems we use now to govern millions of people with vastly different views and ideals
Also it siunds like you want mob rule an inherently bad choice in how to run things
>fascist
>anyone who i dont like or who disagrees with me,or doesn't fall in line
At least that what they act like what it means
I'm not sure there's much point in discussing this with you. You don't seem inclined to listen to anything I try to tell you, and you certainly aren't showing any signs of goodwill with your "idiot" and "retarded." Furthermore, you're just ejaculating a bunch of strawmen and proclaiming yourself the winner of some kind of epic battle taking place only within the confines of your head. If you want me to waste my time actually discussing this with you, try being a bit more respectful. See how I can disagree with you without having to call you names? Try it.
>anarchist

Big difference in definitions between "anarchy" and "anarchism," newfriend
Who is "they"? I assure you, most of the antifa I've known over the decades have a very good understanding of what fascism is, and why it's dangerous. In the classic sense, fascism was invented by the Romans and premised on the idea that strength is created through uniformity of purpose and behaviour in service to the State, as symbolized by a sheaf of sticks cut to an equal length and bound to the handle of an axe: the fasces. Modern fascism as defined by Mussolini consists of the unity of State with corporate power, but shares the original obsession with conformity.
I happen to believe, as do other antifa, that conformity is a recipe for death. In nature, it's the generalists who thrive, while specialists are exterminated every time there's a radical change to the environmental niche they inhabit. Diversity is strength, not uniformity.
You... you realize that the symbol of antifa actually has a black anarchist flag on it, right? I mean, the official antifa symbol explicitly shows the united front of red and black against fascism.
>oh no he has made a good point
>better call him small minded and pull out
I didnt even read your post but im guessing thats the jist of what you said
Communism/socialism in all their forms are shitty and don't work and dont make things better and yiu cant give mevan example pf a nation that is "red" that is anywere near as prosperous as a nation that uses free market capitalism
>Tldr your a fucking commi who believes in a system that can only work within small closenit communities not broad continent spanning nations
You just admitted you didn't even bother to read what I wrote. I'm not wasting any more time on you. Enjoy your jerk-off session.
you're an underemployed slum hipster who is incapable of a meaningful relationship with a woman. everything you said is just what happened as a result
yeah because fascist street people are such a danger these days
Im on my phone i got with money made by a goverment to facilitate trade between two parties that i got for exchanging time and effort of my own choosing based of an agreement/contract between myself and a larger group of people that i would receive said money at a givin rate per hour
So sorry for the spelling errors
>underemployed slum hipster
You say that like it's a bad thing. Not all of us can be young, white, middle-class, suburban teenyboppers, friend.
Called it
Also if we ever become an anarcho state ny tribes going to raid yours for your woman and food
You didn't call anything. You refused to actually read anything I wrote, then created a bunch of strawmen and argued with yourself. You jerked off and proclaimed yourself the ultimate stud.
And yet in humans specialization is what allowed us to trive in a large community there is no need for everyone to be mediocre at everything when you have enough people it becomes highly advantages for individual with in a group to specialize so the the group as a whole can benefit from a higher quality of the task/good that the individual has produced
You mistake specialization of function for specialization of behaviour. Fascism actually sacrifices the former for the latter. It's a procrustean bed which lops off the outliers, the very "misfits" whose genius creates the advances of science and technique responsible for our survival and growth as a species.
You're a communist
It doesnt matter what you dress it up as
It will never work, it literally can't
I dont need to read your post to lnow what you said
>hurr durrr my community controll
>hurr durrr ma no rulers
>hurr durr ma worker owned whatever
>hurr durr ma mob rule
Might wanna clarify by skinheads you mean boneheads, since ARA was startedin Ohio by skinheads. RI ARA
I'm not even a leftist. But this is the last time I'm going to respond to you, because it's pointless to waste time on someone who can't be fucked to actually read any of my responses.
The only logical form of anarchy is anarcho-capitalism. The Government mandates required for a left wing society cannot exist in true anarchy.
Sol, comrade. Sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect SHARPs. Kids these days don't generally know the difference between boneheads and SHARPs so I didn't think I needed to bother.
You’re a paedophile.
No issue, but if you aim to educate, educate. Be safe.
I tend to disagree
But what do i know i never waisted money at the indoctrination factory the call the modern university
And yes i am copping out i dont have an argument for you other then i think your confusing traditionalist with fascism
Its because your respones are always the same nigger kill yourself you commi faggot
Capitalism is antithetical to anarchism. There's no such thing as "anarcho-" capitalism. Capitalism is predicated on the private and exclusive ownership of the means of production. It's propertarianism. If property exists -- that is, if the means of production can be monopolized by individuals -- then you have social classes based on one's ownership of said means. Social classes are antithetical to anarchism.
I'm a mutualist, which is usually held to be slightly right of centre. I'm certainly not a collectivist, leftist, or communist. But I most certainly do NOT believe in monopolies or in the creation of social classes. To quote Errico Malatesta, "Individualism is, in theory, a kind of Anarchy without cooperation. It is therefore no better than a lie, because liberty is not possible without Solidarity, without cooperation. The criticism which Individualists pass on government is merely the wish to deprive it of certain functions, to hand them over virtually to the capitalists. But it cannot attack those repressive functions which form the essence of government, for without an armed force the proprietary system could not be upheld."
And yet you've completely lost gens y/z to a little green frog. Nothing you did mattered.
Capitalism is an authoritarian economic system. It requires a state to enforce "property rights" and maintain the hierarchical distribution of power. It requires a state to enforce the notion that nature can be owned by an individual, and it requires force to prevent the exploited class from resisting the capitalist class. so called "free market capitalism" doesn't exist and can't exist without destroying itself immediately.
Wei wu wei means having faith that the seeds one sows can lay fallow for years, or decades, or even generations before taking root. I don't control the world, but I do control my own actions. I've spent my life doing whatever is within by capacity to do. The seeds of dissent and revolution can fall on stony, infertile ground by the thousands: all it takes is for a single seed to germinate to begin breaking up the soil.
"The big system can be pretty overwhelming. We know that we can’t beat them by competing with them. What we can do is build small systems where we live and work that serve our needs as we define us and not as they ‘re defined for us. The big boys in their shining armor are up there on castle walls hurling their thunderbolts. We’re the ants patiently carrying sand a grain at a time from under the castle wall. We work from the bottom up. The knights up there don’t see the ants and don’t know what we’re doing. They’ll figure it out only when the wall begins to fall. It takes time and quiet persistence. Always remember this: They fight with money and we resist with time, and they’re going to run out of money before we run out of time." -- Utah Phillips
>anarchism
>shares a suspiciously close requirement to communism ie the abolishment of privet property
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I learn u can join here but by the conversations held on these threads I must honestly ask...has anons morals dropped?
Ok were do you live
I want to "borrow" a few things :^)
No. You need to read _What Is Property?_ by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. As a mutualist, I most certainly recognize ownership and possession. I'm no communist or collectivist. My stuff is my stuff, and I have a right to the full fruits of my labours. But there is a HUGE difference between ownership and property. Property is inherently oppressive and coercive; ownership is not.
>anons
>morals
Nigga what?
you are who i want to be. i love you
I have doubts many people will see a difference between "'stuff' that belongs to me" and "my property" regardless of how much philosophizing is involved.
There's no great secret to it. If you want a hole dug, pick up a shovel and start digging. My life hasn't exactly been comfortable, profitable, or risk-free, but I've had adventure and excitement, and I've tested myself against the harships of the world and come out broken and bloody but alive. Can't ask for more than that, really. Take some risks. Recognize that you're going to need to taste a lot of failure before you start winning a few sweet victories. The important thing is simply to start and keep going.
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." -- Mark Twain
Are you "many people"? Let them decide for themselves. You control you, and if you want to understand the difference, read _What Is Property?_
What if i want to dig a hole but i have some goats to take care off... can i give one of the goats im taking care of to someone else to dig the whole for me.. what if he doesnt want my goat? I need that hole dug!
OP,
Why are you posting on Sup Forums?
You should be on Sup Forums
Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living and what is your yearly income? Also, what is your net worth, what percentage of that is liquid cash, and what percentage is invested in securities? Finally, how old are you and what country do you live in?
Why are you such a retard? grow soem balls and become a facist you cuck
No hes right the vast meme that
>stuff i own
=
>my property
Is pretty much known to the layman at this point
Mostly because this the base asumption i mean if you have to tell people to read a book to know the difference im pretty sure that ship has sailed
Odin gave up his eye at Mimir, the Well of Wisdom, in exchange for understanding. Yeshua hung on the cross to achieve apotheosis. Prometheus has his liver ripped out and eaten every day for the crime of showing pity for a suffering humanity. Satan taught Adam and Eve the difference between good and evil and was cast burning into the lake of fire. There is *always* a cost to be paid for wisdom. The sacrifices we make for the things we choose are how we define ourselves. Let the pain of existential choice burn away the unimportant things and reveal your truest self.
Because he knows that pol will shit all over his retarded ideology
Would you suck a log of shit out of Andy Sixx's asshole?
Nigga im a white cap nialist dont talk to be about "ecistesal pain" or whatever not sense you want to think
Nothing you do will matter in 200 years so dont worry about it just try and not be a dick
How does it feel to be worth less than a rat? Both economically and morally.
what do you believe you did achieve, and what can you achieve? what difference does any political economic or whatever system make if they all are controlled by the same people?
there is no real difference between national socialists in Germany and communists in Russia and regular Americans or British. as long as central banks are private they control governments, those who control banks control it all, and guess what the same people control literally every central bank in the world except North Korean and maybe some other odd nation in Africa.

Will you kill yourself fb live, please? Thanks antifa fag
How can you be both anarchist and fascist? Doesn't make any sense. Is that why you were "on the board" in the local AA meetings?
And by radio show, do you mean internet podcasts (hosted on a capitalistic platform)?
I do tarot readings on the street on a little folding table. My yearly income has not exceeded $10k US in more than two decades. I have no vehicle, no cellphone, no savings, no insurance, no stocks, no bonds, and no investments. I live a life of voluntary simplicity; everything I own can fit in a single backpack, and the only things of value I possess are my six year old computer and a small collection of smoking pipes. I live in an unfinished, unheated cement and cinder block basement in a century-old factory which was abandoned for a decade. I have no fridge or stove and no shower; I have to take sponge baths in the sink. I sleep on an old piece of foam, and the only furniture I have is a desk and a chair, both of which I salvaged from the trash. My life is hard and spartan, but what I have is my own and I am beholden to no man. I've stripped my life down to the basics, and when I need a little relaxation I just head down to the river with one of my pipes and a pouch of tobacco to watch the cargo ships rumble by.

Work.
Irl shitposting is hardly work op is a loser faggot drop out who lives in a fucking box on a street corner who you would sooner assumes smoke crack then leads anything
...
What are you going to do when you hit retirement age? Who will pay for potential medical bills?
And why do you live in a "spartan" way, when the spartans would literally torture and kill people with a mindset like yours?
Aka his a loser who fucked up and is trying to compensate for his failed life
And lives out of a box and leaches off pepple instrad of trying to be productive
Unless you want to end up sucking dick on the street dont be like op

I hope you understand why I find this funny
There's no way to know what you've accomplished while you're alive. The last words of the Gautama Buddha were, "Be a lamp unto thyself." What he meant is that most people spend their lives focusing their light outward, searching for things, while what we need to be doing is pointing that light inward, illuminating ourselves as brightly as possible. That light reaches out into the world and changes it entirely without your conscious awareness. All you can do is hold true to your nature and make the hard choices, trusting that your light will shine where it needs to shine. You will likely never know who is touched by your light, just as those whose light has touched you are unaware of it. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
No, you have sown no seeds. All of your efforts have amounted to nothing. Nobody gives a fuck about wei wu wei or Utah Philips, get out of your echo chamber and talk to real people for a change.
