Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

Here are some interesting facts related to this topic:
Edit: One more thing, here is a list of terrorist attacks in Xinjiang. Note how there were no more major attacks after the vocational training program was established.
Faceless anarcho-communist twitter account is in perfect harmony with CIA but let's not talk about that and try to be neutral here. /s
Don't know why western people are obsessed with concern trolling for human rights across the globe when the biggest anti-worker, genocidal, racist nation state projects are right at their doorsteps. Instead of cleaning the mess at their home you get anarchist minded people being regime change dupes on the internet.
I don't even know what to believe with this shit and I'm not an anarchist but this is the most ridiculous objection I've seen. "WHAT ABOUT [worse thing that anarchists also oppose]" is fucking meaningless and leaves you looking less like a good Marxist and more like you're just looking for any reason to dunk on nerds on the internet.
"Whataboutism" as a claim can be abused a lot to avoid criticism of the other evil that is being referenced, but there is no reason to believe that's the case on an anarchist forum where you would be very hard pressed to find anyone who isn't also extremely opposed to the US and other western empires. Given the demographics of a site like this, it's also likely that most of their activism is targeted toward them as well. There is no reason that criticism of a potential evil has to wait for a larger evil to be toppled.
You're not actually making a point here, just hurling insults.
