No, you’ve confused yourself by dogmatically extrapolating what you think anarchy is from vibes and conjecture.

Yes. And if you have a problem with that, you don’t get anarchy.

I don’t want anarchy, I’m a communist. That doesn’t mean I can afford to invent strawmen to argue against, I take anarchism seriously precisely because I don’t agree with it. I evaluate it on its own merits and theory, not by my own invented strawman.

Saying anarchy as a concept is about the freedom to define anarchy how I want isn’t a strawman. It’s just being true to anarchy.

No, it’s nonsense and dishonest.

Well when I see people gatekeeping the idea of anarchy I can’t help but call them out for it. Sorry.

Nope, you’re trying to impose your dogmatic, nonsense views on a real, existing movement. A movement that I believe has real flaws based on its real positions, and doesn’t need someone inventing a new strawman.

I AM the effigy to burn. I don’t need to make one up. The anarchist movement needs people to question its systems of power. Right down to the very definitions and concepts its built upon. Otherwise, after the revolution, we’ll all just be rounded up and thrown into mass graves by the very people we fought beside. But you wouldn’t know anything about that I guess.
