Anarchism is a political philosophy against all unjust hierarchies, including the state and capitalism.

Unfortunately, its been tightly aligned with capitalism over the last half century. The whole Network State movement in California is a capitalist wet dream. Nevermind the various failed projects in Liberland or the Republic of Minerva, which ended up as little more than failed colonial projects.

Then you've got Anarchist figurehead Milei out in Argentina absolutely shredding civil liberties and public services for his own personal profit.

Fucking reprehensible.

Libertarian communism, even though it has the word that is probably scaring you, is usually pretty anti-government and strives for a minimal state, and self-government.

Name one actual libertarian commune.

This is the single most ridiculous post I’ve read on the Internet today.

“Anarchist figurehead Milei”. What are you smoking? It sounds like you think “anarchist” is synonymous with right wing “libertarian” or you think “anarcho-capitalists” are somehow anarchists, even though it’s an oxymoron.

Please 🙏🏻 I implore you, read any basic anarchist literature like Mutual Aid: A factor in evolution, the conquest of bread, Anarchy by Malatesta, Are you an anarchist? by Graeber, Anarchy Works by Gelderloos.

You are severely misguided.

What are you smoking?

Argentina’s New ‘Anarcho-Capitalist’ President Starts Slashing: Javier Milei has railed against Argentina’s government for years. In his first week in charge, he’s begun cutting it down.

you think “anarcho-capitalists” are somehow anarchists

The AnCaps bill themselves as Anarchists, adopt anarchist rhetoric and policy as it suits them, and fill mass media with their propaganda. They're the only anarchists Western countries actually recognize.

read any basic anarchist literature like Mutual Aid: A factor in evolution, the conquest of bread, Anarchy by Malatesta, Are you an anarchist? by Graeber, Anarchy Works by Gelderloos.

I physically can't find them under the waterfall of Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Peter Theil books crowding out the shelf space in my local book store.
