But mostly propaganda. They think Anarchy means random violent chaos because what all films about authority collapse shows.

especially when the purge is EXPLICITY about a hierarchical society pitting the working class against itself to enact the enforcement of the wealth hierarchy on itself
illiteracy: the realest reason we are in this mess.
God I hate Malcolm McLaren and the sex pistols
What are examples of indignities caused by social hierarchical structures I might experience but dismiss due to habit?
Edit: thanks, all! Were some examples I thought of before, but many “novel” ones too. Definitely nice to try to be explicit about it, I think
I’m not even an anarchist, but anything and everything related to job hunting, for instance.
love as a market like in dating apps, police, being jobless, having a job, the monetary system, internet providers, housing, politicians idk a lot
school funding coming from property tax
EDIT: I fired that off quick while I was in the middle of something and failed to explain how this acts as a system of oppression and white supremacy. Schools in high income neighborhoods have better schools because they have more access to resources. Properties in good school zones have higher property values because families with the money to buy homes in those neighborhoods want their children to receive a good education. This creates a circular feedback loop in which people who already have access to more resources are more likely to receive a high quality education. The students from lower income school zones are not dumber. They are simply being strangled by a system that wants to gate them from achieving academic and financial success.
Most criticism of left stuff comes down to ‘but what im doing is so hard. Everything must suck qe much as thism jot this though. How dare you critique this!’
yea authoritarian mindset reproduces itself that way
Disagree. A lot of people just want to be told what to do. Everyone has periods like that.
this type of relationship or social organization is fine in anarchism so long as it’s consensual
yes*
it is fine, but such a relationship should always be critically inspected by anarchists. relying on someone’s expertise and following their suggestions is fine and reasonable, that shouldn’t take the place of individual thought and autonomy
most honest people like to be able to explain (to themselves at the very least) why they are doing what it is that they are being told to do. When one can’t come up with a satisfying answer, that’s when the authority of the leader will need examining, having their integrity weighed and measured, and considered for rejection/replacement (choice of the follower to defect from that particular dictatorship). The issue these days is that most people have no deep driven reasoning for anything that they are doing on a day to day basis, aside from the usual tendencies towards self-preservation.
No. Some people just don’t want to think about it and just do what they’re told.
I disagree with the consumption of (Etc) because the excess of the capitalism of the branch of “something” that I guess is some other stuff is just as bad and eh… something something…. As a branch of anarchism and given the whole subversion of the last ism branch means the loss of the whole other ism branch…
The point is no one should have a valid point. Even if you can see a path forward your likely not liberal enough to achieve it…
just say: “What are taxes⸮”
and it all answers itself
