       Thought Slime's Anarchism Q&A series would be a great idea if he actually knew a thing about Anarchism

       @cocoron Was there anything in particular you didn't like about it?

       @Cyclideon The first thing I remember is that he implicitly dismisses individualist and insurrectionist strains of Anarchism, he also seems to think that different "schools" of Anarchism are mutually exclusive and on a spectrum rather than often-overlapping forms of different ideologies and forms of praxis

       @cocoron Definitely agree, but I'd hold it against anarchists in general tbh. Lots of anarchists write off individualism and mutualism, which is a shame, because they have important things to teach us imo. Same is true with your other point. I notice the same thing in how some folks talk about anarchism without adjectives, i.e. the idea that we'll all split up and form exclusively mutualist or communist communities with no overlap whatsoever. It's such a bland vision of anarchism.

       @cocoron One problem I had (also common with anarchists) is this insistence on defining anarchism as opposition to "unjustified hierarchy." Every political position thinks some hierarchies are justified and others aren't. I always understood anarchism as being against hierarchy on principle, because all hierarchies share similar problems and all hierarchies constrain freedom.
