    Many self alleged anarchists in the Internet are not even part of the anarchist movement. They just pick a label because that makes them feel cool, but most of the time they are just liberals with no depth in theory (even anarchist theory). These people are also insignificant, they don’t do anything other than complain in forums about other leftists (and more often than not are a bunch of NATO simps).

    Regarding theory, I think there are more Marxists who have read Proudhon, Bakunin and Kropotkin than supposed anarchists.

      The terminally online anarchists are vote-harder anarchists who also support Azovstain. I remember one of the real anarchists like commixcorp got chased out of the anarchism sub for calling them out for supporting Ukrainian Nazis. That was also the turning point for me to read State and Revolution and stop being anarchist. Then again the online anarchists are overwhelmingly post leftists and nihilists.

          Post-left anarchism is an extreme tendency that encourages inaction and hyper-individualism, basically they believe that “the left” is no longer useful and organizational actions are seen by them as ineffective, they want maximum autonomy. Their tendencies heavily attract eugenicists, kid diddlers and ecofash. The deep green movement like Earth First!, ELF and ALF were the origins for development of post-leftism, with people like Dave Foreman and Edward Abbey who endorsed a string of reactionary beliefs like overpopulation myth and unsurprisingly, many of them work for the state department. If you ever met any anarchist that claim they’ve read shit like Desert, Blessed is the flame, or Atassa, stay the fuck away and treat them as fed. Also, Crimethinc is a post left collective and takes money from state department, they’ve been platforming Azovstain since 2014.

      This motherfucker told me Marx was an anarchist in the 1840s and the Anarchists are more of communists than the MLs. I laughed for 2 straight minutes.
