Nice try, FBI!
I agree that building more coops and councils is a good start. I do want us to be politically effective too, though. When I say "politically", I'm not talking about electioneering or participating in liberal democracy. I'm talking abeut building power. Expanding the message. Growing coalitions. Growing the movement. That can't be done if all were focused on is endless gatekeeping and purity testing 24/7.
All that is done naturally by taking part in horizontal orgs.
Also, I disagree that taking one day to cast a vote ballot is asking too much.
Then you're missing the forest for the trees. Elections is not "one day to cast a vote", it's years long process wasting millions of volunteer work hours, mental health and goodwill.
But you response shows me you were just wasting my time. You weren't trying to learn, you were trying to prove a point to some imaginary audience.
Where's the practice, though?
These are the practice! Join/Start cooperatives. Join/Start worker's unions!. Join/Start neighborhood communes and so on! Anarchism is all about action right now!
Also, none of this is mutually exclusive with harm reduction.
First of all, elections are not "harm reduction". Actual harm reduction is actually doing what I wrote above.
Second of all, yes it is. You cannot put your effort into direct action for mutual aid, AND waste your time electioneering as well.
Did he forget that they had a nuclear deal that the US pulled out of?
Not worries I can make the bot block you.
I could arrange that somehow as being able to reply with memegens was part of the original idea. But you might still end up with a bad 1shot.
Prefiguration?
Because the Egyptian dictatorship is wholly reliant on us support.
I think defending yourself against libel is OK, but you can just write in the end that you're not interested in arguing about this further. If they then try to argue with you, just reply with 'disengage'
That's not how the disengage rule works. It's not a trump card to have the last word in.

I had a discussion with @[email protected] recently where they insisted that Anarchists on Hexbear accept Lenin's analysis of Imperialism and therefore all support "Actual Existing Socialist" states such as Cuba, USSR and I guess North Korea as well.
In fact, they argued it's the reason most anarchists of Hexbear don't like to discuss anarchism away from hexbear, explicitly because outside anarchists do not support "AES".
So I'm curious to see what your thoughts are on this. If you're an anarchist who supports "AES" how do you square this support with the conflict these states have with anarchist theory on hierarchy?
