There will probably many different answers because there are many flavors of anarchism. We all share the same antiauthoritian spirit but we come all from differen starting points.
Talking from my perspective, I cant put my viee on anarchism in better words than this text: To Change Everything - an anarchist appeal by crimethinc
But that did not kill the protesting, did it?
You mean Portland where they rioted for 100+ night in the row in 2020?
Just taking this chance to link the [email protected] community here on Lemmy.
In a previous thread with a similar topic @blibla@[email protected] linked a study that actually was able to support this claim: https://digitalcommons.newhaven.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2018&context=americanbusinessreview
What I mean is that there’s no way to organize mutual aid in a crisis situation if there’s no previous mutual aid organization before because mutual aid won’t emerge from nothing. Mutual aid takes years or even decades to be organized.
I think many desaster responses actually show the opposite. Mutual aid can emerge spontaneously, structures get build within hours and people show that despite it all, they can help each other out.
Having knowledge, pre existing organizations and a more social day to day life can of course have a hugr positive impact
Living your life is one of the most anarchist things you can do in my opinion.
thanks
tldr: the study links crime(categorized into violent and property crime) to a net benefit of the people living in the neighborhood through having more money available. I did not read it fully so please correct me if im wrong.
Does it tho? And even if it does, arent there ways to keep housing prices low with less downsides? I would be sincerely interested in examples where this actually worked.
The crowded plazas owner might restrict you tho. Various well known anarchist accounts such as crimethinc where banned by corporate social media. Also you have to follow many rules to not get banned.
(I still think its valid to be on corporate social media to spread propaganda, but its not as easy as an actual plaza where you can directly communicate with people)
You’re not the right kind of anarchist
I think doing this is unkind and wasting a chance to educate a (potential) companion.
@OP When you use “goverment” instead of state, some people get reminded of american right wingers and right-wing libertarians which use that word most often in the public discourse. Most anarchist use different vocabulary like “state” because its clearer defined and because it is based on anarchist theory that goes back hundreds of years. Personally I think its pretty clear what you are talking about in that sentence and its unfair to call you “not the right kind of anarchist” because of that.
Online “Marxists” licking the boots of fascist and somehow acting like that it will help the working class smh
It so often feels like its more important to them to win every online argument than actual liberation.
i had that error once, but i swear the next time it just worked.
maybe try to copy again or copy from the source of the comment.
Its not a garbage take. They had the chance before and didnt, why would anyone trust them to do it this time?
I saw it in a left wing collective cafe on the bathroom wall, so I think in this context I never would have thiught about it like that
Just in case someone wants more context:
This is the “Amazon tower” in Berlin, a huge (for Berlin) office building that will be mainly/exclusively used by Amazon and this sparked some protests.

Really, if you ask yourself “what would happen to someone in an anarchist society who killed a serial killer/rapist/molester/etc etc in revenge” and the answer is “little or nothing” you probably have your answer to how that society would handle serial killers, rapists, molesters, etc.
A rapist/murderer might be just a rapist/murderer to some, to others the person might alsl be friend, relative, lover, child or parent. While I do not see myself in the position to stop someones revenge against their abuser or the killer of a loved one, I really hope this will not be the norm. Because as I said, the killed person might have people that care about them that most likely will get hurt by this and also might want to do revenge for that. I also believe that the act of killing can be very harmful to those doing the killing.
I think anarchist societies should focus on prevention and doing things that actually help those that got harmed, which might vary widely by the individual.
I think there are far more alternatives and also ways to mix them.
One more alternative would be constant care taking by one or more people. In case the community cant/doesnt want to provide that full time, it might be possible to mix this with other options that might reduce the persons autonomy.
I made one theme that tries to mirror the current default one on slrpnk.net. You can add it to your list of themes here: https://photon.slrpnk.net/theme

Not everyone is in places where this is a reasonable approach. And not everyone wants to protest peacefully.
