Because of this post >>9793 , I'm making a thread for an idea I've been thinking about for awhile now that I expect will gain no traction anyways kek. I think in light of /anarcho/'s increasing stagnation and /leftypol/ turning into a /pol/ bait/Old Left Marxist/Old Left libertarian socialist/leftist meme theory board, it's only become more pertinent. I did however make a post a few months back about this under different circumstances: >>8944
Basically, I have been thinking of making an imageboard sort of along the lines of /leftypol/'s Bunkerchan, but with the express intent of being a space for nihilists and anarchists. Pretty much like what Anokchan used to be. I think this is important because I've come to notice that the anarchist population among the imageboard community has just started to disappear the past few months. You've got a lot of anarchist types on Lainchan, sure, but Lainchan's administration seems to have over and over again turned down any opportunities to take an official political stance for the board - which is fine, since the board itself was never intended to have an explicit political position, and doing this would probably alienate a lot of users. But aside from all the people there who might like an anarchist imageboard, and the other anarchists scattered around the other *chans and the internet at large, it seems like the majority of "anarchists" around the imageboard community are essentially libertarian socialist Old Left types. Not that I have a problem with them per say, but you hear a /leftypol/ ideology being echoed constantly on there: Literally everything bad is rooted in capitalism and materialism, muh New Old Left, muh free speech for fascists, literally everything that isn't about capitalism (and I guess the State too sorta right anarkiddies…) is "IdPol". And that's ignoring the other problems of the board.
I'm trying to avoid sounding like too much of an ideologue here, but as far as I can tell, this way of thinking, this idolizing the left that was, is mostly exclusive to anarchists on /leftypol/ rather than the contemporary anarchist community as a whole.
