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.

I haven’t read a lot of these sources myself yet, but the first one at least by the Communist Party of India is worth a read.

"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.
