I'm an anarchist thats what the black flag and A in my handle mean
That means a lot of things to a lot of people although there are principles on power, authority, the nature of the state and how to do revolution (sometimes called praxis) that anarchists broadly agree on its that last part that we most often disagree on ime
A part of my theory of change is that revolution cannot be forced, broadly I mean that if you try to change society now with the customs and beliefs that people individually hold they will reconstruct hierarchies of oppression either consciously or not
One subject that often gets left out of leftist and anarchist spaces is non-human oppression, say we seize the means of production tomorrow and we organize society democratically and horizontally, with the rest of the culture unchanged would humans stop killing and oppressing non-humans? I choose this example bc I believe its the most stark.
The system has deeply poisoned our culture and our psychology, we have developed a learned helplessness so pervasive that for many it is easier to imagine the end of capitalism than the end of authority and hierarchy
So what do I propose: social revolution and prefigurative revolution, the first being that revolution starts at the interpersonal level, work with things that are inside of your control and embody your ideals to the best of your ability without giving into perfectionism or pessimism. The second idea prefiguration is linked, create social relations and organizations that are modeled after the world you want, build the new in the shell of the old.
It will be small at first, a book cycle club, a community fridge, a neighborhood group chat for emergency preparedness or community event planning. But if the ground is fertile and nurtured lovingly it will blossom, the benefits of community cooperation are material and compounding.
The road from these beginnings to what we could confidently call an anarchist society would not be straightforward it would be full of setbacks just like early capitalism faced and a full consideration of revolutionary organizing past this point is beyond the scope of this toot (check [1] you're interested in an essay recommendation about that)
but if I am right and this is the most resilient road to revolution then by the time we win the collapse of the state will have long been a forgone conclusion, just as a united but dispersed mycelium network can topple the tallest tree: we will have rotted the state's pillars of power by stumbling up onto our own feet and rendering it obsolete
I invite discussion and disagreements I will try to respond to as much as I can

If you want to understand the #SpanishCivilWar's complexities, I strongly recommend Revolution and the State, by Danny Evans. He describes the large #anarchist #movement centered in #Catalonia, and how a multitude of organizations & strategic tendencies existed during the #CivilWar. While #anarchism struggled due to a lack of assistance from Western countries, and attacks by both fascists & Stalinists, compromises (e.g., joining the gov't) also forestalled the #SocialRevolution.

The 1971 novel MRS. FRISBY AND THE RATS OF NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien is a #SocialJustice #SocialRevolution #ClimateCrisis #socialist story.
I first read that book 37 years ago, and I just now realized this.

Another great video from #Andrewism that I advise to watch. But please take your time, make notes and don't take it as a blueprint, but as inspiration (like all of anarchism) to start or continue the social revolution.
*How Anarchy Works*

"Anarchism is the political philosophy and practice that opposes all hierarchies along with their “justifying” dogmas and proposes the unending pursuit of anarchy, where free association, self-determination, and mutual aid form the basis of our society. But what does that mean? Let's explore how we might organise anarchy."

Noam Chomsky: It's very hard to recognize one's subordination to a system of power
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su9w_EO1t7Q&ab_channel=wonkmonk
And therefore the responsibility of raising the challenge is typically in the hands of those who recognize that they have a subordinate status. It's very hard to recognize that. I mean, people lived, you know, for millennia without recognizing that they are being subordinated in systems of power…
