If you said “if it is a horse it has hooves” you can infer “all horses have hooves” but not that “all hooved creatures are horses”.
Otoh if you said “iff a polygon has 3 sides, it is a triangle” you can infer that all polygons that have 3 sides are triangles and that there are no other ways to make triangles.

Well I mostly was already familiar with “if and only if” terminology from some math class many years ago. So once you said iff stands for “if and only if” I didn’t really look too close at the rest of your comment because I felt like I already understood.
Of course not, if there were women in the forest they would be clearly accompanied by the Internet Argument Bear and therefore it wouldn’t be anarchism.
But only the specific subset of anarchists that I read about first in my early 20s! All the others are just like those fascists in the Judean People’s Front!
Once again the anarchists are the only correct group
it’s like the curse of Nostradamus
Are anarchists actually practicing anarchism if they form groups?
Iff they’re not hierarchical
Iffs in the wild make me happy.
Are “Iffs” a thing? I’ve been missing out.
iff is the shorthand for “if and only if”.

Cool, TIL
Omg I have no clue how you understood anything from my previous comment.
It was such a mess lmao

“Anarchism is when there’s one guy alone in the forest.” -Mikhail Bakunin
Did Mikhail Bakunin think that women could not be anarchists?
Of course not, if there were women in the forest they would be clearly accompanied by the Internet Argument Bear and therefore it wouldn’t be anarchism.
I thought the woman might be busy having three kids with one of Bakunin’s disciples while still married to Bakunin.
Dude lived an interesting life.
People is people
Truer words have never been spoken.
Actually yes. As long as the group only acts in a way that all members approve of, and members are free to leave or join.
More like the curse of nostradumbass
lemmy user DESTROYS the philosophical tendency of anarchism with FACTS and LOGIC and EXTREMELY mediocre WORDPLAY
I disagree!
That wordplay is nowhere near good enough to be considered mediocre
I was considering editing my comment to say subpar but I decided I didn’t care that much

Eh, most left leaning anarchists are fundamentally correct on the basics.
