The fantasy-story of right-wing anarchy is creating misinformation, someone thinks that something like “anarcho-capitalism” is real philosophy, instead of the linguistic distortion of fascist-capitalism that it is.
Should people even specify that they are left-wing anarchists now? Do we really want to put a stop to this propagandistic joke? Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
And I will tell you more: anarchism is by its nature also pacifism, as it aims to prevent any form of uncontrolled power on others. This is to silence even centrists: another fake group, people who think that it’s not “extremist” in its own abstinence, in delegating violence.
“anarcho” - capitalists aren’t anarchists. This is only controversial in conservative/ancap spaces. Full stop. Also see instance sidebar.
They stole the term ‘libertarian’ from anarchists. There’s every chance they’ll steal anarchism as a phrase as well.
They really want it we gotta fight them off. It’s tough because they have all the resources and institutional backing, but they are particularly stupid and inept so it’s not a foregone conclusion.
The liberals are in the process of stealing the word “radical” from us as well.
Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
As an anarchist I refuse to get categorized in such a one dimensional manner. I am not a leftist. I just share many ideals with leftists.
But yeah right wing “anarchists” can fuck off
Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
Anarchism is “extreme” left now? Since when?
This sounds no different than the “far left” bullcrap liberals and their fascist cousins have been peddling in the last while.
Exactly, extreme as a head of a rope relative to its opposite extreme. Don’t be fooled by the media’s fake goodism, “extreme” in this discourse is perfectly contextualized, as at the apex of the political path of progressivism.
Fake/fascist anarchism is extremely helpful to the hegemonic narrative’s goal of distorting and misrepresenting anarchism.
Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
There is absolutely nothing “extreme left” about anarchism - you are literally engaging in the same false framing liberals and fascists are engaging in.
Anarchism is radical - not extreme. Understand the difference. It is not “further left” than basic socialism is. It never has been.
That term refers to the extremes of the political spectrum I was referring to, and therefore perfectly contextualized. What do you personally mean by extreme? Violent? That is not in any case the dictionary meaning of the term.
That term refers to the extremes of the political spectrum I was referring to
If your “political spectrum” classifies the literally LEAST extremist political ideology as “extremist” it probably means you need something better than the “political spectrum,” no?
“Anarchism is fundamentally incompatible with right wing politics”
just copy paste than any time you see a capitalist cosplaying as an anarchist
or the trusty ol’ “The black flag comes in every colour except yellow”
