Hello, I’m a bit new here. Wanted to ask you all that question. Answer as you want.

I also wonder how many other anarchists we have here. Cheers!

    Anarchism is my political ideology. I’m having a hard time explaining how I see it but if you’re new to the concept I recommend reading Anarchy Works to get started.

    I also wonder how many other anarchists we have here. Cheers! You got one here!

        Yeah, I’m not saying it’s a bible or guidebook for anarchism but it’s a good starting point.

          For what it’s worth, I’ve been having a private anarchist bent for a little while, now. Plenty of people seem to recognize that socialism seems nice other than the power structures it creates, and anarchism is the natural next step along that line of thinking. But… healthcare. And food. Food and health care. For this to ever work on a major scale we all need to re-learn how our ancestors lived self-sufficiently, which few people (even among anarchists) seem willing to do, and medically advanced healthcare, I’m not sure anyone is willing to give that up. I would have straight-up died at birth if Boston Medical Center didn’t exist. Even if I think charitably of the level of healthcare an anarchist society could provide, I can’t imagine it involving me being alive. There’s a huge level of self-sacrifice there.
