Communist

They are absolutely on defence and i’m aware they are around, but the mexican government is actively trying to destroy them

you really didn’t realize that the fact that they’re still around undermines, not strengthens your argument huh?

If you mean the zapatistas… duhhh? They were an anarchist movement within a country, they were attacked by the country they were founded in, and their enforcers were held in rotation and decided on by a fully public discussion that anyone in the community could attend, this is fully anarchist.

Ah yes, such trivialities like the answer to your conundrum are meaningless to someone as proudly ignorant on a topic as yourself. My bad.

See: the zapatistas and revolutionary catalonia for examples of anarchist societies.

No they’re saying the spleen harvesters are NOT anarchists at all.

A democratic power structure is decentralized.

Give one historical example of this happening to an anarchist commune?

also anarchists have all of those legal frameworks in place as well, this is simply not true and has no historical basis.

In nearly every example I have read about they have been destroyed through military might of an external power, see revolutionary catalonia and the zapatistas as examples. It turns out rich capitalists don’t want anarchism to work, and desperately try to destroy it.

There is a legal recourse, you’re saying someone with power ignored the law and attempted a coup… do you think coups don’t happen in non anarchist countries? How is this unique to anarchism in any way?

The same thing that happens anywhere else? A power struggle between the people who want it and don’t? Are you implying this is unique to anarchism in some way? I don’t see why it would be.

No and I don’t see how that is relevant or comparable.

usually anarchists advocate for elected or rotational positions for policing.

you simultaneously hope that no anarchist philosophers agree with you, and use a definition that says

“the advocacy or practice of anarchistic principles”

Who established anarchistic principles, exactly, if not anarchists?

the definitions in the dictionary you provided conflict, how do you explain that, if not that they are not synonyms?

but not for “anarchism”

1: a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups

2: the advocacy or practice of anarchistic principles

anarchy is not anarchism and the terms are not interchangeable, though they sound similar

Who created and established anarchistic principles? Anarchist thinkers and philosophers, of course

but the dictionary does use one similar to the academic definition…

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anarchism

if we use dictionary.com

“the principles or practice of anarchists”

so you’re wrong by your own source

anarchist thinkers, philosophers and academics should obviously get to define the term, no? Dictionaries are often wrong in countless ways for academic usage because the meaning of words are often more complex than can be summarized in one paragraph, dictionaries are not ultimate references, and ANYONE can create a dictionary, these are not academically primarily sourced documents these are what some guy thinks a word means based on a survey of some people who claim to, in no way shape or form should dictionaries be used in place of foundational documents and the notion that they are perfect and the best way to derive the meaning of any word is false…

both of your references are literally designed to be summaries of topics as quickly as possible, and often contain glaring inaccuracies, in academia you aren’t even allowed to cite an encyclopedia, or a dictionary, and this is for good reason.

“Who writes the dictionary? Where do they get their information and authority? What if the dictionary has a typo, misprint, or error? If nobody catches an error, does that mean everybody is “secretly incorrect”? If tomorrow the Academie française publishes a new dictionary that states all /i/ vowels are pronounced [a], does that make swiftly ~80 million native French speakers incorrect?” --another comment on the matter i found elsewhere

…you deliberately want to use a definition that precisely zero anarchist philosophers or thinkers use for anarchist thought?

That seems rather… silly? How can you critique or even talk about the ideas of anarchism without using the definition anarchists actually use? Do you expect anarchists to use a different term than the one already established in the literature?

This one post showed that they were a complete troll or imbecile

Which anarchist philosophers or anarchists agree with you?

Just use cosmic on another distro?

My point was that censorship is valid when it is to prevent harming individuals/fraud/bullying

my goalpost did not move at all.

you are being a hypocrite by saying it was okay not to have that on wikipedia because it was already banned

you should oppose that ban on the basis of censorship, no?
