my favorite anarchist is my sous chef who thinks “china is a bad actor” and who shut me up the last time I tried to illustrate the ridiculousness of anti China propaganda by showing her an article blaming China for not doing enough about climate change. She asked “DON’T YOU THINK YOU’RE GETTING EXPOSED TO PROPAGANDA” as if the ANTI CHINA article in THE GUARDIAN was somehow pro china paid for by china
Assuming you believe that anarchists should organize: what prevents anyone from calling your (or any given) anarchist group, “authoritarian”?
Because this is a very common slur that’s not only wielded by reactionaries against anarchist groups, but even from other anarchist groupings when they want to demonize each other.
