    As much as i know, anarchy is not indivualist since the entire point of anarchism should be that the community works togheter to do stuff

      While respecting the rights and autonomy of the individual. It is entirely about respecting individual freedom while also encouraging work together as a community.

          Tell me you know nothing about Anarchist philosophy or history with explicitly saying so.

          ![“The ultimate goal of our oppressors is to limit our imagination about what is possible without them, so that we might never imagine more for ourselves and the world we live in. We can only imagine what is in front of us because the power structure decrees that there are no alternatives other than what currently exists. We humans have lived the alternative for tens of thousands of years. We are capable of building a free society, a brighter future, because we already have ideas about what that might look like. We know what societies without bureaucracies are capable of.”

          — David Graeber, cultural anthropologist](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/84d97534-b030-4f03-9732-7e73c587306b.png)

            you still didnt explain

            • How would you organize people and overthrow the bourgeosie state?
            • How would you maintain siginificant resistance against foreign imperialist attacks without some kind of heirarchy?
            • How would you incentivize people to actually work in jobs which dont have good reputation?
            • How would you counter reactionary tendencies and stop reactionary mobilization?

            This whole quote seem like motivation speech

              Try reading a book and you’ll get those answers explained in full. I’m not gonna sit here and paraphrase volumes of anarchist theory just so you can play judge nitpicking the specifics. I have explained my position well enough. If you want specifics, go read the source materials.

              Kropotkin, Graeber, Bakunin, Proudhon, Luxembourg, Parsons, etc … All have explained the mechanisms of decentralized resistance and horizontally structured systems of authority as well as the incentive structures of how people decide what to labor on and organize with their communities to ensure desired services are rendered alongside how this change of incentives and authoritative structure would counteract reactionary efforts.

              FYI, that quote is from renowned anthropologist, David Graeber, who wrote multiple books on these very subjects. You should try reading them. You’ll learn something.

                  You mean those who started an authoritarian regime who committed untold acts of oppression upon the working class they claimed to represent? Whose only reason they succeeded was due to the anarchists who helped build the revolution in the first place only to be stabbed in the back by your idols?

                  Get bent tankie.

                    Bolsheviks succeded due to anarchists? lmfao

                    anways, symbol of anarchism is usually a graffiti under a bridge, flag of marxism leninism has been flown over big nations and once encapsulated 1/3rd of humanity

                    Thats the difference.

      Anarchism is about resolving the apparent contradictions between individual rights/responsibilities and collective rights/responsibilities.

      It’s about a community of individuals. The individual is celebrated, but in a way that’s far more akin to Mr. Rodgers (you’re special and unique just like everyone else) rather than of say a heroic society (where the ability to command attention and stand uniquely above others is valued).

      An anarchist would say that you need to figure out how you can best contribute to your community in a way that fits with your unique self rather than taking away from it. It’s akin to a family, where various things need to be done and it’s up to the members of the household to figure out how to get it done in a way most associated with everyone’s wants and needs, but also in the discussion are the nice to haves like someone may grow an herb garden, while another household may decide nobody wants it enough to do it or push for it.
