I haven't seen a single anarchist on Lemmy. Not even one.
The most obvious group, and the one this thread is about, is about as far as it's possible to get from being anarchists.
"eat the rich" "destroy the institutions"
Etc.. That's not left. Insinuating killing it destroying societies is, by definition, anarchist.
Socialism, Communism are about change, not control or jealousy.
I don't think you understand anarchism.
No - anarchism, by definition, is the complete absence of institutionalized authority.
Those around here who are calling for the destruction of institutions have no intention of creating a society free from the hierarchy of authority - they want to destroy the current authority merely so that they can replace it with their own.
Again, they're about as far as it's possible to get from being anarchists. They're as authoritarian as fascists - they just have a different set of norms they want to forcibly impose, and a different set of people they're eager to oppress and murder along the way.
