anarchism
Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

I'm sad I found this post so late because this is exactly what my line has been for a long time regarding western anarchists, and why they are so frustrating. I see our potential but it can only grow when we reign in the constant focus in online spaces on "tankies" who have literally never held any meaningful power in the imperial core and many of my comrades are socialists who I am fairly certain have no impending intent nor the power to do any sort of Soviet style purges. And lastly they have no reason to because there is no revolution to betray at this juncture and frankly assuming the same exact beefs from 100 years ago will play out exactly the same despite vastly differing material conditions is ironically anti-materialist, and this goes for MLs and Maoists too.
We have to get our shit together before any of that can even possibly become a cause for concern again. TLDR touch grass and do work, we'll figure it out as we go along and as material conditions continue to deteriorate, but right now our responsibility is to offer a clear alternative that isn't just genocide.
