They seem fairy similar to me.

I just want to thank everyone on this Sub for being some of the most insightful, friendly and downright awesome people I've ever interacted with on this god-forsaken website.

Anyways, now go-on, and keep being awesome!

I’ve been watching a few anarchist and socialist documentaries lately, along with a bunch of films with socialist/leftist undertones and I’m looking for some more suggestions, ones that delve into anarchist philosophy/values. Preferably feature films but documentaries are more than welcome.

I’m also interested to see if there are any films with a similar vibe to Ursula K Le Guin’s The Dispossessed, philosophically and politically speaking.

They don’t have to be in English, they can be in any language as long as they have English subtitles.

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn’t anarcho capitalism lead to anarcho communism ? Aren’t they the same thing basically ?

I lean towards anarchist communism a bit instinctively, both in my sharp sense for injustice and in my stubborn refusal to follow orders—which I believe in neurodivergent terms is called “pathological demand avoidance.”

But I would identify learning about history and archeology—and the vast array of potential social arrangements that comes with that—which really cemented for me the case for anarchism.

I had rejected authoritarian communism as a contradiction in its own terms, but was kind of lost for a bit until I found a community of anarchists online who helped me put names to the things I was stumbling to articulate on my own.

What radicalized you?

Hypothetically,if marxist organization and parties united,even though they have different ideas of government systems and over throw capitalist, couldn't they technically have regions vote on what type of marxist ideas those regions want and still be united to prevent in party fighting?

Alright, so... my old man is a hard-line trumper. He is on-board with just about everything he's promised to do, from heinous violations of civil rights to economic Idiocracy... This includes the newly imposed, tarrifs.

He was driving me home one evening, when he just starts ranting about how Trump is going to "save us" and "fix the economy". I get this a lot, so as usual, I just kept it simple, just a few bored and somewhat sarcastic soundings, "Uh-Huh"s and "Sure"s.. up until he got onto the subject of Terrifs.

It was quite apparent he was under the impression that tarrifs were taxes on foreign countries, (however the f#ck that would work). I quickly explained to him in essence, what they really are, and how passing them at a time like that is very, very stupid. Here's how that conversation went in a nutshell;

Me; Grandpa, Tarrifs are used to promote economic independence. They make things intentionally harder for us to obtain to encourage making our own goods. It just so happens we barely have an economy to do so with, given we rely almost entirely on foreign trade. You are supposed to pass Tarrifs after you build-up a significant industry.

Grandpa; Uh, well... Well I trust Trump with the economy.

Me; Grandpa, the first round of layoffs have already hit, people can't afford to pay their employees and they are sufferin--

Grandpa; Serves them right! Ha! Can't wait to see all 'them liberals out on the street!

Me; I believe you have.. misunderstood me. I meant, factory workers. Menial laborers, the lower class, not the cream of the societal crop.. we are actively suffering due to these Tarrif--

Grandpa; Biden.

Me; ... What?

Grandpa; I blame Biden.

Me; But... you can't just--

Grandpa; Biden.

Cue old person laugh.

Me; Well... I blame the 60 years of societal stagnation from president to president without meaningful change or reform, civil or economic--

Grandpa; Well! The last time I checked, Gas was nice and cheap during Trump's presidency, and we weren't 'goin and starting wars, and trying to blow up the planet!

Me; ... You call sending foreign aid to countries in need, war? I get the whole sending weapons to Israel thing, we shouldn't be supplying either side of that.. we really should've only been sending humanitarian aid... But that's besides the point. I'm saying that these Tarrifs are only going to be bad for us in the long run--

Grandpa; He'll sort it out.. I have faith in him.

Me; ... Uh-huh...

• FIN

So... yeah. Living as an AmCom with an entire family of Trumpies and Far-righties kinda sucks...

Found this guy on r/neofeudalism, and yes, he is an "anarcho"-capitalist

Don't recommend me a lot because i have school, but i'll try to read some tomorrow, im a newbie so i won't be able to read something that requires knowing some historic figures to understand, and im 18 so i have low attention span, thanks

I'm trying to find clothes that will last me a decent amount of time, but at the same time, I don't want to fuel the system I'm trying to distance myself from that thrives on waste and exploitation. I've considered buying second-hand but I'm not sure if that's the healthiest option. I also considered simply buying the cheapest brand but then I am concerned about lifespan and quality, also just because they are not expensive does not mean they are not relying on exploitative labor conditions. So ideally I want decent quality and ethically produced clothes, where do I find them?

I've always wondered, if anarchocommunisim is anarchy but with a lack of private property (Correct me if I'm wrong) how do you enforce that without a state?

The reason that this slogan is emphasized is because there are two primary methods that those in power use to control the masses. The first one is government which is an imaginary entity that the masses obey under threat of punishment but requires a human presence to enforce.

Because government agents can’t be everywhere all the time, those in power invented the second method, religion, to convince people of imaginary entities that watch them all the time and that they must obey or be punished.

Christianity, for example, requires obedience of government laws. It is therefore nothing more than a psychological tool used to reinforce obedience to the state. Christian Anarchism is in the same category as Anarcho-Capitalism. An oxymoron.

How do y'all plan to survive the coming fascist presidency and impending military crackdown on dissent?

I am interested in anarchocommunism and anarchism as a whole, what introductory bills would you all recommend? Preferably not anything too heavy

I identify as an anarcho-communist and have been a leftist in general for a long time, but I’ve never actually taken the time to read theory. I’m finally ready to dive into the foundational texts and really educate myself on the ideas and history behind anarcho-communism. While I’m familiar with the principles and general ideas, I’ve never read key works like those by Marx, Kropotkin, Bakunin, or others, and I want to change that.

Are there any beginner-friendly reading guides or must-read texts for someone who already identifies with anarcho-communist principles but hasn’t read the theory? I’d love a roadmap or even a list of essential works to help me build a solid understanding.

I’m also interested in videos, lectures, or podcasts that might complement the reading. Sometimes hearing someone explain ideas can make them click in a new way, so any accessible resources like that would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, I have a strong interest in liberation theology and how it intersects with anarcho-communism, especially Christian anarcho-communism. I’m curious about how Christian teachings, such as those around equality, community, and care for the oppressed, align with anarcho-communist ideas. If you know of any books, essays, videos, or other resources that explore this connection, please share them.

If you have any advice for diving into theory for the first time or tips for approaching these texts as someone who already aligns with the principles, I’d love to hear it. I’m eager to deepen my understanding and engage with these ideas on a deeper level.

Thank you all so much :3.

Hey, I guess this is a place that would have someone intrested. I'm trading a Anarchist Makhnovist Flag, Location London. DM for more Deatails.
