Anonymous asked: Hi, I was wondering about your opinion of Unite Against Fascism? I was considering joining them but wasn't sure how effective/worthwhile they were as an organisation. I've been to one of their rallies before (a counter-protest to an EDL rally a couple of years ago) and it seemed pretty good. I've been following you for a short amount of time and you seemed the best person to ask...

Nice way of ignoring everything i said, man.
Yeah, I thought so.
You’re right though, I am a first world anarchist.
Read an interview with a Cuban anarchist. He’ll say it better than I can.

“have you even met any leftists outside of tumblr? Newsflash - they’re a bunch of wankers too!”
Oh for sure. I suppose we could go so far as to say that historically this has been the case as well.
Shit yeah, If Marx and Bakunin had been on tumblr they’d have spent the entire time calling each other names and trying to organise fights.

nopityfitness reblogged your post: May I ask what is your stance on hardcore militant veganism? I have become a vegan about 5-6 months ago, and I keep hearing all of these arguments concerning human privilege and speciesism and it’s really hard for me to consider veganism anything more than a personal choice. The problem is, when I do say it’s a personal thing I get pegged as a phony vegan and a...

Anonymous asked: hey, that's a great meme, but i feel REALLY uncomfortable with you use of the word "bitch." it just makes me cringe to see it used against a woman, because its something that is used to silence myself and other women. what about "jerk thatcher" or "asshole thatcher" i mean it doesnt really matter. but it doesnt make sense to use sexist language to get your...

Quarterly Reminder: Please stop breeding.

It really is repulsive.
also: governments should provide subsidies for people who DON’T have kids, not the other way around. Do I even have to mention overpopulation?
One off reminder - you are repulsive. Unfollowing.
Governments should pay poor people to stop having kids.
As if it’s the poor kids that are the problem and not the government.

hate-wizard replied to your post: theveganarchist replied to your post: May I ask…
To be honest veganism, in terms of the lifestyle (and not animal liberation practices, etc.), seems to the idea that one is morally obligated to not participate in (or at least minimise one’s benefit from) oppression/injustice.
If people feel personally morally obligated to be vegan then I see nothing wrong...
Anonymous asked: May I ask for further clarification on your post about life value inequality? How does this apply to say Human Rights ? Do you innately believe every human is equal (fetus is not a human) and should be treated equally or was your post only to be applied to Human - Animal relationships and value? I'm sorry, if I misinterpreted your post.

I couldn’t agree more with your final sentence. However, why not be vegan (assuming that you’re able to do so) while fighting to restructure society? If you can avoid participating in injustice, are you not morally obligated to do so?
I don’t think that you can avoid participating in injustice. I...
Anonymous asked: The noob who submitted a couple asks yesterday here again. You're quite right, I was confusing Proudhon with Bakunin. When I first discovered anarchism I was enamored and was scrambling to back up my newfound position with real philosophical foundation and was reading a lot at once. I got overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start and pretty much gave up for a while. My sincerest thanks...

This would have been a great overview, but Emma Goldman was not mentioned once…
Emma Goldman is not god, nor the authority on anarchism.
Did I say she was? I just think it would have been stronger for mentioning her.
Why though? Because of this inherent idea that she was an...

Anonymous asked: I had the question about where to start with collectivist anarchism, and I'm downloading Rocker now, probably going to get the rest you mentioned too. Thank you. Also, I've read a little Bakunin, but I really can't get into mutualism so that's kind of hindered my ability to appreciate him. I'll give it another shot though.
Anonymous asked: So I have a pretty decent (at least functional) understanding of Marx but have never read him other than the Manifesto, where would you recommend starting? If it helps, my intention is to begin reading collectivist anarchist philosophy and I don't know where to start.

I just had to turn down some work because of my bastard principles. It was proofreading, easy work I could do from home, decent money. I just found out that the textbooks in question are language courses to teach the Australian army how to speak fucking Arabic. There is just no way I can do it.

Leon Trotsky: How Is Makhno's Troop Organised? →
Trotsky makes some valid criticisms of Makhno’s organisation here, but he’s hardly a reliable source, having made up all manner of crap about Makhno: he’s a bandit, he’s a kulak, he’s a white . . later he accused him of being an “agent of the nazis” for christ’s sake.
Trotsky was constantly telling lies about, and then seeking alliances with...
