  • I agree that external and internal motivators are essential to change behavior. And to support your point, that’s part of why anarchists who join social movements try to foster the use of social force and self-managed organization to serve as “revolutionary gymnastics.” The idea is to help others gain confidence in their ability to change the world by changing their social and economic circumstances via political conflict. It is easier to foster a culture and politics of mutual aid when it works!

    Also, the issue with the power vacuum is super important to cover. Anark has already covered that in a video. Based on the movement’s history, the horizontal armed forces work, but working towards the social insertion and weaponry necessary to cover that area is challenging. If not the most difficult part.

    In the sense of rules, I don’t know where that topic is covered in English in the sense of anarchy perspective to the law. Do you have anything that covers that topic? So far I’ve found the work of Anarquismo frente al derecho that covers the concept of contracts vs law and the historical perspectives of the classics. It throws some topic of “anarchism and justice”.

    Take care friend 👋




  • Hello friend, first of all: good job at approaching the subject with that disposition. 👍

    I agree with the good people over here: action is key. I ended up becoming an especifista anarchist by helping out in social movements. The political position is pretty much based in your beliefs (that should of course, I argue, be guided by reason and evidence).

    To find one’s way through practice is important. Your actions will be informed by theory, but having courage, patience and solidarity is mostly forged in the fire of praxis. I became to trust in mutual-aid and the power of self-management that way.

    You already seem to be on the anti-authoritarian side of the talk, in that sense, you’ll find many perspectives here that can throw you some light.

    Well, hope this helps out friend. Take care and ¡Viva la anarquía! 🙂
