    If you want to challenge/debate me on something, or discuss what you think may be an issue of contention, DM me. Debates that happen in public tend to turn into acrimonious contests that you feel pressured to "win", for fear of looking the fool in front of others.

  3. Too many anarchists and leftists are animated by a thirst for vengeance rather than a thirst for liberation. Entertaining violent revenge fantasies against people you think "deserve" it is never a good sign.

    Income, I propose, is shaped largely by rank within a hierarchy. But how can we study this? Here I show that the effects of hierarchy are hiding in plain sight. They’re waiting to be discovered in any dataset that reports both income and job title.

  5. I think American "libertarianism" was never really about lifestyle liberation. It was always a kind of white male identity politics. It provided white guys with a vision of a world in which they’d still be in charge, but things would be "freer". Liberty for me, not for you.

  6. Whenever I come across somebody with one of those black-and-yellow flags on their profile, their feed is filled with memes disparaging feminists, anti-racists, gay and trans people, Jews, and environmentalists. There’s almost nothing about economics.

  7. When I first started learning about politics online in the mid 2000s, capitalist libertarians were all about "we accept everybody and condone any lifestyle as long as it’s voluntary". Now it seems like their social attitudes are entirely defined by extreme cultural conservatism

    "You can't REALLY say anything is true because objectivity is a social construct and/or colonial. Therefore religion is anarchist and reason is imperialist"

    Reading the defences of religion and attacks on science I've been getting from other anarchists is turning me into a real Noam Chomsky when he's annoyed about postmodernism.

    The scene where he rides the London Tube was just cringe-inducing.

    Holy fuck ... Darkest Hour is bloody atrocious. Pure Tory Party historical fantasy that rewrites Churchill as friend of the common man and erases Clement Attlee's role in keeping the unity government firmly antifascist.

    Delusion is both used by the powerful to help subjugate the disempowered, and works by itself to trap people in patterns of self-harm. Social anarchy should therefore position itself as enlightenment against delusion, dispelling faith and falsehoods in the same way as authority.

    I think a commitment to truth has value for the project of anarchy. It's not just valuable in itself. Pursuing anarchy is about dissolving extrinsic control and increasing intrinsic functioning; and one of the most insidious forms of extrinsic control is delusion.

    I'm troubled that so many self-described anarchists place so little importance on truth as a value.

    Re: Anarchist defences of theism and religion. What I find troubling about most of the responses I've received thus far is they don't seem to regard the truth/falsity of supernatural beliefs to be important. Only whether they encourage hierarchy or are believed voluntarily.

    I think atheism and anti-theism are a core part of social anarchism. If you are an anarchist and you disagree, please DM me. I'd like to hear arguments and have an exchange of ideas without the kind of audience which leads to the pressure to "win" the debate.

    To reduce centuries of complex diasporic Jewish culture - often with a strong tradition of secularism, internationalism and, yes, anti-Zionism - to a simple support for Israel is, you guessed it, anti-Semitic

    What’s called communism by Marxists and anarchists alike should perhaps instead be called "commons anarchy", as opposed to "collective anarchy" which involves statelessness and classlessness, but keeps wages and prices. In that sense I’m a commons anarchist.

    What’s horrible is that younger people who haven’t studied the development of the idea and the evolving use of terminology now think that "anarcho-communism" is meant to be some sort of fusion of anarchism and Marxism, or even anarchism and Leninism!

    However, now the word communism is so irrevocably associated with Marxism in general and Leninism in particular, it’s difficult for anarchists to 1. Use it to mean a stateless and moneyless economy 2. Use it without being associated with Marxist or Leninist theory or politics.
