Marriage is not just an individual choice. In fact, it violates the principle of individual consent. A person may consent to get married in the first place, but once they are married, they cannot just change their mind, revoke their consent, and have the marriage end when they are no longer willing to be married. They have to get permission from the state to legally get a divorce. It is not based on the will of the participants alone, and they do not get to set all of the terms of their divorce, just like they didn’t get to set the legal terms of their marriage.

To the people downvoting this very basic and straightforward anarchist take: are you aware this is an anarchist sub? Are you subscribed here? Do you call yourselves anarchists?

I'm seeing this a lot on the anarchist subs on this server, where people who clearly are completely uneducated on what anarchism is just pile on the downvotes because somebody criticised the state.

Yeah I seriously do not understand the hatred for very anarchism 101 takes happening in our instance recently. From what I observed, most people just care about clean energy technology and lifestyle without trying to engage in radical discussion about politics. The extent of their political concerns ends at very surface level environmental related issues.

Other social justice problems receive very little attention, just look at every post that is not strictly about environment and you'll see my point. It's such a HUGE shame since every single social justice issue: feminism, racism, state oppression, capitalism, and even environmental exploitation are heavily interconnected, to the point that it's hard to meaningfully solve one thing without extending the critical critiques to/shedding light on other problems.

Meanwhiles more explicitly radical, subversive political sentiments are collectively sneered at, like what the hell? How could you achieve the degrowth ethos inherent in solarpunk movement without discussing alternative mode of production, or stopping giving legitimacy to state-enforced institutions, or abolishing every single hierachy possible? Goddamn watching the reactions to very basic anarchistic notions makes my blood boil. I'm so tired of seeing the replication of lemmy.world politics in this supposedly anarchist instance.

My posts rarely have this many downvotes, but when they do its a post related to nonmonogamy.
