/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.

Weekly open discussion thread
To anarchists that do outreach / spend time in broader leftist circles what are your talking points when talking to non-anarchists? How do you present anarchism?
Going futher, do you have any zines that you especially like for this topic? I am starting up a zine table and would love some collective advice.
Hey, I'm visiting Barcelona solo and free from 3rd - 6th June. Looking for a buddy who speaks spanish/catalan to tour some anarchist stuff in Barcelona with. Would be keen on staying at a squat, going to bars, community centres etc, also, doing some gardening/farming... I want to visit Can Masdeu eco-community but haven't heard back from them.
If you have any connections or you yourself are up for hanging out, let me know.
Peace
I am working on expanding my skill set. This doesn’t have to be exclusively for revolution, but I would like suggestions to be community based skills. Or at least skills that are widespread and beneficial to others. I am able bodied and financially stable, so please do not limit your suggestions.
If anyone has any advice or help that they could provide that would be much appreciated. This is the first protest we have organized to this extent and would appreciate any and all support.

I think if we want an anarchist society then more people have to learn how to grow their own food. I wonder if you can learn how to grow food by the internet and yes I know there is other resources out there. I know that not everyone lives in rural area and does not know how to grow because of that. My yard sucks for growing food because there are bunnies everywhere and the house blocks all the sun and the dirt is hard as a rock. Those who know how to grow how good have you gotten. One year I grew corn and got some success but that was in the last house I was in.
It is possible to give Anarchy a better name by reminding people, that even Anarchists care about facts and not just propaganda and ideological purity. Whether or not undercover cops are pretending to be Anarchists while giving Anarchy a bad name may be a speculative claim to some people, but nonetheless it is more productive to the cause of Anarchy to give Anarchy a better name than displaying Anarchists as propagandists and assimilationists. And yes there are cops pretending to be Anarchists just to deliberately give Anarchy a bad name while being like “Why aren’t you assimilated yet!” If they hear an Anarchist saying “I don’t know, I’m not a fan of propaganda even if it’s our own.”
Why did you become an anarchist? This is likely a question that all of you have been or will be asked in your life. What I wanna know is what answer do you have for this question, why did you become one? Was it to fight against capitalism? To fight against the injustice in our modern society? There are many different reasons and interests for this question and I’m here to ask all of you this.
Here's flyer for you to share, or just enjoy. Text reads:
On May 1, 1886, a nationwide movement for an 8-hour work day began. Over 300,000 workers went on strike nationwide.
Two days later, Chicago police fired upon unarmed strikers at the McCormick Reaper Works factory. The deaths of six workers became a call for direct action, and a public rally was called for the following day to be held in Haymarket Square.
