It is a topic of it’s own discussion (and in r/anarchism and other spaces it was), but with how anarchy is coupled with disaster in a state-provided vocabular, many call themselves libsoc for example, e.g. I default to socialism or socdem. It is, by some degree, muddies the water, at least for those who don’t know these things intersect with big scary words.

The difference is, probably, more nuanced. Although both are kinda off-color in a public discussion, fascism unlike anrachism is about statism, nepotism, populism, exclusion, big capital and they hide that because otherwise their goals put clear would frighten off regular folks (and not the state and capital). Anarchism isn’t spoken directly because it’s the state’s dogma that scares people, while the causes are not even close but common and even though about by them already.

I want us to choose these labels ourselves if we aren’t to make our own or trash them altogether (:

And you get to be radical.
