I don’t know where I sit, to be honest. I’m anti-capitalist, but at the same time, I’m not exactly an anarchist because keeping everything at the local level smacks of inefficiency, promotes tribalism, and doesn’t really allow for coordination.
Having some form of government is helpful as long as it’s held strictly accountable. Otherwise, it’s just 100,000 voices screaming, as people all try to push individual agendas.
While a complete lack of structure maximizes individual freedoms, it also makes individuals more vulnerable because there aren’t institutions to help them if they need it.
This only happens because within capitalism only small anarchist communities have been able to survive, anarchism doesn’t say anything about keeping everything local (I’d say the opposite, it encourages cooperation between communities to cover all bases, ideally on a global scale)

Anarchism doesn’t mean there is no government, just no hierarchy, horizontal governance is a thing.
While a complete lack of structure
Again, not a thing in anarchism, even the symbol of anarchism literally incorporates the word order (the circle around the A isn’t a circle, but an O)
What? Please educate yourself on Anarchism and especially Anarcho Syndicalism before making more statements. Under Anarcho Syndicalism while individual syndicates (imagine unions but more organized and the own the workplace) exist they’re organized by varying levels of larger syndicates. The amount of organization within Anarcho Syndicalism without government is greater then any other governmental system.
Why should someone be scared to call themselves a leftist, im an Anarcho Syndicalist and I don’t care if other people don’t like it.

Maybe give this and this a look
Thanks - I’ll admit I’m pretty unread on a lot of it. I know what I want I just don’t know where I fit yet

I actually think this twitter post has the right idea. Fuck labels, they can be twisted. Preach what you believe in
