Stop reading theory. : Anarchism

https://old.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/comments/veaqh0/stop_reading_theory?sort=controversial

Stop reading theory.

Youre all getting lost in it. Google bookchin, no don't google bookchin, marx this marx that, bread book, stop it. Theres a reason the right is winning and its because they have broad wishes for society and will see them through.

I dont need theory to tell me how fricked we are. At some point youre just getting lost in the anarcho sauce. For all the theory, what organizing have you done? What awareness of your beliefs have you spread?

Left unity is obnoxious and I'll never side with tankies, but over convoluting our message of anarchism both internally and externally reduces any action you might actually take to words on paper written by a long dead philosophist.

Simplify your views a bit, its necessary for reaching the masses, who dont give two shits about theory and just want their life to not suck anymore. Telling them about bookchin or chomsky or kropotkin or so on isnt going to materially help them. They wont hear you.

There is work to be done, and it doesn't involve reading and getting lost in copious amounts of theory and at this point im thinking theory is just the opiate of the anarchists.

This seems to have upset some of you, but I stand by it. Im not saying, "Never read theory." Im just saying dont get lost in it.

:marseylibleft: stop trying to understand anarchism, destroy some federal buildings already!

Everyone else says anarchists are crazy, deranged terrorists, and are wrong. The whole use of the word had been twisted to make people react darkly to it. We read the theory so we can debate it's merits and understand it's details.

It's complicated, but I think it's both interesting and useful.

But yeah, don't get too caught up. We should all be meeting in person where possible and discussing these ideas

And more importantly, implementing our ideas. What’s annoying is when people are theoretically on board but can’t seem to turn into consistent real world action

Look at the consistent real world (online) action this xerson is involved in

:#marseyspyglow:

Counterpoint: Read a little theory. It's enriching and will give you some new perspectives and insights. Don't get hung up on it. Then, go outside and make sure all that stuff in your brain doesn't go to waste by turning it into praxis.

All may read theory, none must, some should.

Knowing the basics is important so you don’t get suckered into red-brown shit, or “left unity” or “libertarian unity” scams, but it isn’t sufficient in and of itself to know all the theory to be a revolutionary.

They talk about touching grass, but never do :#marseygrass:

Anarchism is not about reading. It’s about posting on Twitter and knocking over the trash cans outside of starbucks in solidarity with BIPOC

Everyone else says anarchists are crazy, deranged terrorists, and are wrong.

But you are. Anarchism's most famous dividend is the "Propaganda of the Deed" exemplified in their famous and sustained terror attacks and assasinations at the end of the 19th Century. Anarkiddies have done nothing as meaningful since then.

I once knew an anarchist.

I did get his parents to prevent him from leaving Leafland and attempting to go to Syria to join Rojava. Law enforcement did get involved.

I think he still resented that I prevented him from joining an anarkiddie cult.

Then he fell down the Idpol black hole, got too sensitive regarding myself being too politically incorrect. Last I know he was trying to join a trade. He started as a Glenn Beck libertarian then became an anarkiddie.

Anarchism could be by far the most based ideology if the people practicing it actually got off their asses and bombed some federal buildings.
