/r/Anarchism
Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, governmentalism, capitalism, racism, sexism, ableism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Posting again because it looks like it didn't post propperly.
I want to start a campaign to flip conservatives to anarchism. I hope to do that by publishing and distributing a series of zines aimed at them. This may be a fool's errand, but I feel like it's worth a shot because I feel that they are more likely than liberals to fight in a revolution (for the wrong side, but let's see if we can change that). But even if I'm wrong on that, we can potentially increase our numbers.
I am making a series of Anti-Facism, Anarchist, zines to distribute publicly in my city. The city I live in is relatively spread out and has around 56k people there.
How many of each issue would you guys recommend printing to spread throughout? I only have one printer lol.
So far I have printed a couple dozen and I have been leaving them in public places for strangers to read.
Hello guys my name is Joey and I am the founding member of the world's only Romani Anarchist collective Khalo Vardo. Romani anarchism is a relatively new movement but we've been going strong for a few years now. Some of you may be familiar with a man named Florian Tacorian who does YouTube educational videos and tik toks about Roma culture and history. These videos do a great job of explaining a few things and giving very good information for the most part although some of it is highly contested. The fact that he is lumping sinti people with Roma is telling. Not to mention he is miscategorized my clan as being one of another. But my primary concern is the fact that he is funded by a conservative fascist Christian nationalist group I called the world Roma federation. Wouldn't fucking budget if you see his videos do not take him seriously he's a grifter. Man is out there espousing progressive views while the same time being funded by fascists. But like you know the same scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
I'm part of a net.art direct action collective. We promote digital graffiti as a means of both beautifying and reclaiming space on the net. On November 28th we will have our first organized direct action event. We will occupy the comment sections and inboxes of corporations in the fast food and food distribution industry. We hope to draw attention to food disparity in the u.s and around the world, as well as promote the creation of a new form of media for the digital age. Anyone can participate in the event post a comment with some UNICEF info or a clever cooking mama meme. This is an opportunity to show direct action is possible on the net even as it's becoming more and more heavily policed. Feel free to reach out for more information.

Anarchism tends to be:
very libertarian, socialist, revolutionary, progressive, and international/nationless
Idk about collective vs individual, I'm going to say communitarian individual for the sake of this.
The opposite would be authoritarian, capitalist (maybe state capitalism), reactionary ("upholding status quo's traditions"), conservative, and nationalist. (Probably collective too)
Fascism is all of the above except it doesn't "uphold the status quo's traditions/hierarchy" although it has some of its own. And it tends to be corporatist and not capitalist.
Monarchism on the other hand is the opposite on those axes, but people say fascism is the opposite.
Which is it?
I consider myself an anarcho-syndicalist and I have always considered the CNT collectives during the Spanish Civil War as the closest thing that industrial anarchism has come to being put into practice. However, I cannot find any information on how it worked exactly, that is, how production worked, how land was distributed, how the committees were structured and how they were elected, how resources, food, water were distributed, how their democracy worked, what power the workers' committees had and many other questions. I have seen several documentaries made by the CNT itself during the Civil War that, although they allow you to see how it worked, do not explain it in depth. Could you recommend any document, book, file or any form of information where this is explained clearly and concisely? Thank you.

I am trying to find if there are any anarchist community groups I could join here in Kansas, particularly around Lawrence. I have a strong desire to form one, but also don't really feel qualified or informed enough to be able to. If there isn't one around, are there folks in this sub from Kansas looking to maybe form a community group??

Ok so a few years ago i ended up doing a back to back reread of The Ego and its Own and The Dispossessed, not intentionally, those were just on my list.
Am i just totally off base or projecting but egoist seen as an insult on Urras and the protagonist Shevek plays that role. Is it just a coincidence or do you feel like Le Guin was familiar with and referncing Stirners formulation of egoism? The parallels have just kinda stuck with me ever since reading them both.
