  1. Being an #anarchosyndicalist is so #funny, because everyone will peg you as a #Marxist (and, fair enough—how I talk about labor as an anarchosyndicalist does sound a lot like how #Marxists talk about #labor), up until the moment you advocate for the #abolition of the #state. And then immediately after you finish that point you will be pegged as a Marxist again!

  6. Annoying #Liberals.

    I know Liberals mean well when they say to me, "G33k, you and I want the same thing. A fair and equal #society." But I do get annoyed by that. Quite a bit.

    Because I am for a #fair and #equitable society. Hence why I am an #AnarchoSyndicalist and a #AnarchoCommunist. And a fair and equitable society is one without #Capitalism. Which Liberals are not on board with because they still want to be a "small #business owner."

  7. ⬛️🟥 Este pasado sábado, la #CNT-AIT madrileña volvió a concentrarse frente a Lefties (Grupo Inditex) contra el acoso y la explotación, atendiendo así al llamamiento a la solidaridad de la central anarcosindicalista de Badalona:

  8. Would the wickedly monikered Anarcho Syndicalist Rudolph Rocker consider Scandinavian social democracies 'failures'?

    I doubt it. Their success across the socioeconomic board is existing evidence that mixed economics can work best for the most, Slide those scales!

    ftw: A just constitution to protect the individual from the masses, and ~democratically elected representatives to protect the masses from the individual

  9. @lyndamerry484 @ScottishGreens I think that we need full #AnarchoSyndicalist communism. But the only route to that would be to persuade the vast majority of the population to agree, and currently they don't; so the least worst -- which I think currently means #Green -- government under representative democracy is probably the best we can hope for in the medium term.

  10. I sent my long-time normie friend down a rabbithole with #Kropotkin.
    :blobcatthink:

    Then he actually bought "The Conquest of Bread".
    :blobcatjustright:

    Now I'm telling him how they could convert his wife's veterinary practice in North Carolina into an employee-owned co-op.

  15. Anarchism under capitalism, not #AnCap they suck, could start as simple as arranging a service with a person instead of a company.

    💰 trade or barter. I'm not picky.

    The important thing is the substantial difference between a reasonable price for the person to charge for their services and the (probably much higher) price the company charges.

    The 2 of you just colaborated to #Expropriate that amount back from the #billionaires & #CapitalClass

  16. #FarageRiots #EDL #SovereignIdentity My eye caught by the #Symbolism. It seems that these thugs have appropriated a symbol of #Anarchy. Admitting that they really want a total breakdown of Society. Do you think any of them have read #Bakunin? (#AnarchoSyndicalist)

    Anarchists have the hardest battles to face if they are to every be taken seriously. It really doesn't help that since #anarchism is so complex in practice and theory most anarchists don't know all of these, when pinned down most cant explain how it would actually work.
    1) Convince people that capitalism is bad 2) convince people that government is bad 3) Show that all power corrupts and often makes you stupid and sociopatjic no matter how good you started out. 4) explain how the complex decentralized web of individuals, be it based on locality with #anarcho-comminism or based on their unions #anarcho-syndicalist will replace government 5) explain science showing that people, especially in disaster zones are essentially programmed to self organize and even thrive via mutual aid and only those work power to lose engage in elite panic the opposite of what the powerful suppose.
    6, Explain the processes of creating sustainable community. A hundred years ago, this was the easiest part as communities knew how to rely on each other and self organize for their needs. Now we are so atomized we can't even make friends as adults much less a long term stable community. This requires many psychological tricks to get peoples egos out of the way in organizing, used in six sigma in business to create consesus building.
    Can anarchism work? I haven't the first clue. The uphill battle of educating required is truely them most difficult of all political philosophies to ever implement and while the most efficient in practice is also the easiest to be taken down as no one with power wants a successful anarchist region to act as an example, so they have to do all of this AND survive geo politics. So who even knows if it can ever happen.

  25. #Introduction

    Hey all, this is mostly the text from my bio.

    I am a CC Licensed Raccoon now.

    He/Him/His, Cis-het, Married with one Daughter

    #Christian #Anarchist #Pacifist #AntiWar #Pentecostal #AssembliesOfGod #Outdoor #Retail #ProLabor #AnarchoSyndicalist #BookReader #Missionary #Minister

    I'm like a Ronin-Pastor, a Minister-at-large with no particular congregation or group I'm responsible for leading. I have personal experience with
    #PersistentDepression, #ADHD, #Anxiety and growing up male in the west. Always available to talk.

    Here because I'm interested in the project, particularly because one of the main stated goals from
    @panos was to try and make the onboarding less overwhelming, one of the reasons I've always bounced off *key projects.

  26. Generally, I consider myself a kinda sorta so...there you go on my appropriately vague political stance...

    "Ce matin, 16 janvier courant, à 8 heures, une centaine d’ouvrières de la corderie Loyant-Péan, sise à Nantes, chemin de la Miséricorde, ont quitté l’atelier déclarant qu’elles se mettaient en grève.”

  28. Hi!
    Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.

    I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
    My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.

    I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.

    Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.

    My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
    I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.

    It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
    This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.

    Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.

    Other areas of interest besides the #occult are listed below.

    Music-
    I write songs, play electric #bass and #ukulele. Not famous at all.
    A few faves-
    #Motorhead

    #Budgie
    #JudasPriest
    #JohnnyWinter
    #BuddyGuy
    #HotTuna

    #JackBruce

    Art-
    #GustavKlimt
    #JackKirby
    #FrankFrazetta
    #ErnstFuchs
    #GilbertShelton
     
    Philosophy:
    #Plotinus
    #HerbertSpencer (I know- cringe)
    #MaxStirner
    #Hegel
    #Heraclitus
    #Iamblichus
     
    Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.

    Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
    A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.

    Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
    Peace and Solidarity!

  30. CW: New #introduction for the latest greatest #twitterMigration
    Coming to you from my newish #selfHosted #Pleroma instance after a couple years on #Mastodon. I was a middle class #musician back when that was a thing, trained as a #drummer and, since I was 13, I put all my dedication and dollars into making an honest, modest living as a sideman. I grew up listening to #classicRock from half a generation earlier, and played lots of #blues in my hometown, #Chicago, before I became a #jazz snob and got my 1st steady gig with a cruiseship showband.

    I ended up in #LosAngeles just in time for the Great Depression and subsequent triumph of #Socialism for the Rich™, which I thought was as bad as it could get until they passed the CARES act. I retrained myself at the #piano when club gigs no longer paid enough for me to hire a bassist and piano player to accompany me in playing my earliest efforts at #songwriting. My #radicalism was firmly established by the time the DNC cheated Bernie out of the nomination. The 1st time, I mean. 2020 finished the job. I don't know what I am now, a #progressive, an #anarchosyndicalist, or what. I just know I'm not a Democrat and find the #BizarroWorld direction of many calling themselves #liberal to be absolutely terrrifying, as we already have one intolerant and sociopathic "opposition".

    I am content to identify with my #outsider artist influences like #TomWaits and #WarrenZevon, general #geeks like #JoeJackson, and the #workingClass works of #BobDylan, #NeilYoung, and #BruceSpringsteen.

    I've almost entirely freed myself of the dependence on proprietary platforms and use and support several #openSource projects. #Owncast and #OBS have made it possible for me to keep my #music #livestream alive after sacrificing roughly 75% of my viewers when I left FB for labelling my #artist page a source of #misinformation. #FreeSpeech and fighting #citizensUnited, #corporatism, and #censorship and #propaganda are my primary political concerns.

    I'm a fairly accomplished amateur at #cooking and I love #tobacco after discovering #pipesmoking and #cigars and quitting a 30-year cigarette habit. I drink #beer and #scotch throughout the weekly livestream, which you can follow for a notification when I go live at @kyle

    Saving the most important thing for last, I generally love people and I am much, much more fun and easy going than this introduction makes me sound lol
