First of all anarchism is an ideology

Communism is a stateless classless moneyless society with the means of production owned by the commons and de-commodification of the necessities

Anarchism is a rejection of authority and the constructed hierarchies that justify it

Communism, in dismantling the state and capitalism dismantles two hierarchies of oppression that anarchists are interested in dismantling, but not all of them, others include Speciesism Colonialism Racism Patriarchy Ableism Sanism Ageism Cisheteronormativity Mononormativity etc, see Total Liberation Anarcha-feminism and Queer Anarchism

Monopoly is when you switch between monogamy and polyamory, right?

"Unconventional relationship holds answers to Florida woman's violent murder"

Yes, CBS, the crux of the matter was that the victim was part of a throuple. Sure. 🙄

Thanks for the mononormative reading here, CBS. This is really stellar journalism.

"Hmm... they were a throuple... and I've never even been in a threesome. Yep, the throuple must hold the key to this story. Never mind the violence."

I cannot wait until you release the story of a woman who murdered her husband because he farted too much and call it:

"Conventional relationship holds answers to Maryland man's violent murder"

Every time I meet someone who's "unsuccessfully" #poly (can't find anyone to #date, can't find anyone interested in more than hookups and one-night-stands, #relationships always fizzle as soon as the #NRE dies, or only ever winds up in bad/abusive relationships that end messily), it's the same few basic problems.

Toxic #mononormativity.

Toxic #masculinity.

Toxic #heteronormativity.

#Sexism.

People who find #polyamory "easy" are the ones who have already faced these problems and named them. They might not have properly *solved* all those issues yet (goodness knows even I sometimes hide for safety behind some #passing-privilege and let people make #heteromononormative #assumptions about me, and I've been out-and-proud #non-monogamous for decades). But if you're finding #EthicalNonMonogamy difficult, it's probably one (or a combination) of those issues. And if more seasoned poly-folk roll their eyes at you and don't take the time to explain it, it's because we've heard it literally hundreds of times before.

Which doesn't make you bad, or stupid, or even unsuited to being non-monogamous. It just means you're still early in the journey, and can't progress until you do some work.
