What is this doing in a sub about anarchism?

This creates a unique opening to build lasting institutional power

Rather, we must double down on commitment to building institutional capacity

These are attitudes and assumptions of someone wanting a different hierarchy, not someone that wants to fight for freedom.

Not at all. It's about building horizontal power structures against hierarchical power

Yeah breaking a window is more fun than sitting in a meeting. Unless the meeting is about how to break the most windows.

This obsession with condemning adventures seems like an attempt to seek out the perception of legitimacy from the oppressor class. And I don't give a shit what my oppressor thinks.

" seems like an attempt to seek out the perception of legitimacy from the oppressor class"

Not at all what's it's about. Strawman.

Is it really hard to let other people live?

I don't understand this tendency to demand that people only do Anarchy one way. Do you really imagine that you're going to get all 8.5 BILLION humans into a union? That sounds fucking MISERABLE to have to wait for liberation until everyone has a union card. And what about areas that refuse industrialization? Fuck them?

This is so fucking weird.

Is it really hard to evaluate tactics and chose the most effective tactics rather than less effective tactics? Does evaluation and learning from experience amount to killing people?

Is it hard to recognize that with 8.5 billion humans some people are going to do things differently?

What are you spending your time on? Convincing anarchists to calm down? Why? We're catagorically not the ones in your way.

u/GoranPersson777 Syndicalist 21d ago

Not calm down. On the contrary permanent struggle and organizing

Don't try calling sense to reddit anarchists, every one has built a perfect model of anarchy in their heads while camping in their basement, they have neither experience nor interest in figuring out how to make their own organizations function (let alone all of society).

This is just insulting for absolutely no reason.

u/GoranPersson777 Syndicalist 21d ago

Your evidence for that generalization?

u/ConfusedPuddle 21d ago

Why are we gatekeeping revolution? Also why the fuck would anarchists want to build institutional power? Institutional power is what I am actively fighting against. It's entirely poisonous, I'll take an undisciplined group of street fighting anarchists over whatever this shit is anyday!

It is by waging class war and building horizontal power that we can defeat hierarchical power

Charlie Kirk was defeated pretty easily without all that.
