Not the same user in question, but I’ve seen various slrpnk posts defending things from TikTok to Raw Milk.

Are they truly Democratic though. Anarchism is an extreme form of democracy BTW. Not anti democratic. Coming at it from an American perspective, even many of our founding father’s figured by now we’d have majorly overhauled our governing system nearly 10 or more times. They knew their system was flawed. Instead institutional inertia has caused it to become progressively less democratic by many measures. And people turned the founders into infallible deities.
I have less issue with those advocating to rework or abolish institutions. Than those that as a blanket say we can’t question or modify them. Criticism etc should be couched in actually making those institutions more democratic and equitable of course. Not like the economic liberals that like to pretend that they are Libertarians advocating for tax cut and end to regulations that reign in the avarice of Corporations And the wealthy.

When a decision making system is torn down then for at least a breif moment might makes right, which is absolutely anti-democratic.

That’s not what anarchism calls for. Violence has to do more with those clinging to power. Because as they say when you make peaceful change impossible you make violent change inevitable. So you should be good.

I’m not saying the theory of Anarchism and AnarchoSocialism is violent
I am saying self identifying Anarchists on this site have and will continue to express want to burn down state buildings.
