  • Funny enough the best way is to lead by example. I believe most if not all people can feel the difference when the dont just follow someone, but actually participate in something as an “equal” (whatever that actualle means in that specific situation).

    This often happen organically in situations like disasters when people have to take responsibility and make decisions spontaneously jnstead of waiting for authorities to help them. In not so pressing situations its something that could be facilitated, but is pretty hard to do consistently.

    Especially in conversations you might bring up examples on how leaderless / non hieraechical projects were successful and even bring up things in their own lives where they might already have leaderless / non hieraechical ways of doing things like friend / hobby groups etc.
















  • Of course I would have killed Hitler if I could. But I would have done so when he was actively doing harm, being the leader of genocidal movement / state etc.

    I wouldnt pull the trigget when we already removed similar people from power, redistributed all their wealth, destroyed the institutions that they used to stay in power etc. I would have better things to do in that situation.

    Also I think there is a difference between building some kind of system to choose, detain and kill those people on bigger scale and just doing some revenge before, during or shortly after a social revolution. I wouldn’t stop anyone from doing it, its just not something I would support as solution to a problem.


  • It’s best to just kill them.

    How is killing them better than just throwing them out of the community or spending the effort to educate their supporters? Also would you personally pull the trigger, potentially more than once, maybe a few hundred times? And where would you draw the line on who to kill? How high has simeone to score in the anati anarchist scale to score to get a death sentence? And who get to decide who should die? How would you organize this in an anarchist way? Like I struggle to see how this is actually the best way when I try to think it through.



  • Their “basic” courses are not currently being planned this year, the ones there are building on top of the ones they did last year. Still probably worthwhile.

    If you did those courses and want to share, did you feel like they provided skills with an antiauthoritarian outlook? I am asking because from my understanding (never participated but thought about joining last year), the strategies and skill taught there are more compatible with organizing through your typical union (which has election, hierarchies, doesnt necessarily want to abolish capitalism) and not as compatible when wanting to some anarchism.
