How does anarchism always seem to find its way into these bullshit ideologies?

[-] Real_User@hexbear.net 36 points 11 hours ago

Anarchism has cool branding. If you're already just grabbing ideologies at random to combine, why not go for the one with the coolest logo?

Same reason why everyone wants to be punk imo

All of it. Anarchism is much more accessible by osmosis than most other leftist philosophies, because it doesn't have the same level of propaganda levied against it that communism does. The anti-anarchist propaganda focuses mainly on it being a "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOO!" kind of "philosophy" which is appealing to impotent manchildren and edgy teenagers. Some of those people then actually read anarchist theory and realise it isn't about that at all, but a lot of them, like libertarians, just want an excuse to be a spoilt brat of a human being who wants everything handed to them and a bastardized version of anarchism is a quick and easy way to do that.

My brother is a straight up fascist and one of his first tattoos was the A symbol. I still don't get it.

If anarchism is primarily about the liberation of the individual free from the impositions of others then it just a short step to apply that only to a small group and subjugate the rest.

Let's not shit on the anarchists too much. We marxists also got plenty of fucking wierdos and patsocs and other kinds of morons. This is mostly just the consequence of the terminal lack of rigorous materialism in the thinking of western populations.

I think "If" is the operative word there. Lots of self-styled rebels who've never read a word of Bookchin think anarchy just means "I can hurt anyone I want and there's no one to stop me."

Being an ML myself, I have my own criticisms of anarchism, but I still think it deserves better than to be perverted by antisocial chuds.
