Don't worry I'm here for every delicious bit of drama.
Maybe I am missing something with this but anarchists are hated both by communists and liberals. If they see the anarchists, they'd also gang up on the latter lol.
Something something that's not the definition of a political anarchist.
When I was an edgy teen, I claimed to be an anarchist because chaos was cool.
As an adult I discovered my political ideaologies literally are anarchistic.
Mfw, right? I remember being a young adult, asking my parent what the Seattle riots were about, and they said, "they're crazy." When the Internet was invented and I got around to looking it up, I thought, "those people are the sanest people in the country."
Nihiled it.
average political nihilist experience
Do anarchists still exist anymore? I know it's a fun name tag to wear, but I'm finding very few actual "practicing" anarchist organizations.
in my country its mostly MLs. it tends to be that way in the 3rd world.
Depends on what you mean by anarchists. Average Americans think anarchism is lawless violence. It isn’t, and there are plenty of anarchists today.
YMMV depending on country. In the US you can find at least a handful of named anarchist organizations in any given state. Many anarchist or libertarian organizations keep it on the DL for a multitude of reasons. You may have better luck finding groups under the monikers of communalist, x or y federation, social ecologist, or just plain ole socialist. Mutual aid networks, food not bombs chapters, and IWW chapters are other spaces a lot of anarchists occupy. Many anarchists still stick to affinity groups and the like as well so, while they may be out there and active, it's likely you'll never hear about them. Further muddying the waters there's also the concept of social insertion where anarchists support local movements and encourage (but don't attempt to force) the popular movement to develop in a more libertarian fashion. Some big names in the libertarian milieu in the US are the symbiosis network and moneyless society. The black rose anarchist federation is another one I've seen around.
That said, it's still hard to find other anarchists in a lot of areas. I've been on the hunt for a while and haven't had any luck in my area. The closest I have is a food not bombs chapter in my city but they're all a bunch of zionist soc-dems. 🤷 They do good work but I don't want to be the only anarchist in the group haha. I'll be handing out zines and fliers at the pride parade in a few weeks in the hopes of starting a reading group and hopefully an explicitly anarchist org in my city

Real Anarchism is when you just run around in a big circle waving your hands and shouting "This is Anarchy"
We do! In my area there are quite a few of us and we operate a number of collectives providing things like:
Of course there's a lot of direct action going on for various causes.
What is "theory reading"?
Leftist groups of all stripes have a long history, and with that history comes books, essays, and pamphlets on strategy, analysis, philosophy, and outlook.
Hell yeah, this is a principled anarchist.
If you too want to get out of the liberal vs communist showdown and smoke weed on the side come to slrpnk.net where only our memes community has liberals and communists fighting in the comments.
As an anarchist this is me on a good day. I more often find myself in the middle getting shit on from both directions.
