This is the Anarchist FAQ, currently a work in progress. It's a mess (at the time of creation), that will change. I will edit this post as you recommend content.

Capitalist posts belong in >>6450

"Either the State for ever, crushing individual and local life, taking over in all fields of human activity, bringing with it its wars and its domestic struggles for power, its palace revolutions which only replace one tyrant by another, and inevitably at the end of this development there is … death! Or the destruction of States, and new life starting again in thousands of centers on the principle of the lively initiative of the individual and groups and that of free agreement. The choice lies with you!" -Kropotkin

FAQ's

What is Anarchism?

The word "anarchy" is from the Greek, prefix an (or a), meaning "not," "the want of," "the absence of," or "the lack of", plus archos, meaning "a ruler," "director", "chief," "person in charge," or "authority." Or, as Peter Kropotkin put it, Anarchy comes from the Greek words meaning "contrary to authority."

While the Greek words anarchos and anarchia are often taken to mean "having no government" or "being without a government," as can be seen, the strict, original meaning of anarchism was not simply "no government." "An-archy" means "without a ruler," or more generally, "without authority," and it is in this sense that anarchists have continually used the word. For example, we find Kropotkin arguing that anarchism "attacks not only capital, but also the main sources of the power of capitalism: law, authority, and the State." For anarchists, anarchy means "not necessarily absence of order, as is generally supposed, but an absence of rule." - An Anarchist FAQ

>Resource guide
If it's going to remain stagnant until the end of time I'd say we should remove it.
I wouldn't say it is really useful as it stands, and unfortunately we lack the means to add to it.
I'd be in favor of copying it to another place where we could continue developing it, though.

A 8chan wiki, like the ones they have made for 4chan boards? i'm in for it.

What free as in anarchist services are there which allow us to host our content, with collaboration?

plus, this would make the resource guide anarchist in nature, instead of being edited by the board owner with the consent of the people here.

Yeah, the creator killed it I think (he is also the guy who runs /v/marx/).
If anyone really cares for a reddited /anarcho/ they can probably claim it. I don't see the point but maybe some people would be inclined.

i still don't understand how things could function as they do today without any kind of governing body

i'm genuinely curious, anyone care to explain?

for example, who theoretically organises and distributes capital for infrastructure upkeep and development?

Look here:

If you are using GNU/Linux and it's a debian based distro, simply "sudo apt-get install anarchism"

Go to: http://faif.us/

Download and listen to " 0x52: Legal Issues from a Radical Community Angle "

Debian developers explain how finances are handled. Basically there are multiple institutions[decentralization] which manage finances and each institution is like a committee.

Those are all pretty poor examples tbh, not one of those ended well for anybody.

You mean because they didn't win because they had all the weight of both world wars thrown at them?

The OP post says

>Anarchism has never accomplished anything and doesn't work in real life

Those three are prime examples of how anarchism REALLY hasn't accomplished anything.

>>9114

I suppose building a society that provided authentic socialism, not to mention a livelihood, for millions of people for however long the could stand before World War crushed them is not accomplishing anything?


a4e9a7 No.9118

Which one are you talking about?

No, fuck you.

That shit was written by authoritarian maoists and it's a massive distortion.

Only anarchists that exist are social/communists and "capitalist individualists"? Ahaha, no.

It says to have the "anarchist answer" to every topic. Fucking trash.
