If only one man owns everything, then expropriation would be really fast in theory
I am also wondering how peaceful movements that succeeded would have continued if they failed eirh their strategies. Would they have turned (imo rightfully) violent and would that have worked or not? Or the other way around for movement labelled as violent.
But I just want to debunk this idea that nonviolent resistance can’t work against a violent enemy. It’s simply not true.
I think thats a important point to bring up in discussions. I want people to be informed about as many options as possible in the hope of them being able to actively choose the ones best fitting for them.
Most examples of overthrown dictatorships seem to be after they were already in place for atleast a few years to sometimes dozens of years. This is not the current situation in the so called USA where we see an rising and escalating fascist regime trying to take hold.
In general I think choosing nonviolence because it worked in the past and it seems efficient is not the way to go. Instead look if its the best for you individually and collectivly in your specific circumstances and if its in line with your ethics/morals and with you current emotions and goals. Nothing is won by denying yourself and others the way you/they want and can resist your/their best way.
Things I mostly found on reddit:
- anarchist library in chinese lanuage. i hope its not just translations but maybe also original texts?
- there seem to be / have been 2 chapters of food not bombs in China, based on this map here https://foodnotbombs.net/info/locations/
- copy from a 4 year old reddit comment that seemed to contain some interesting breadcrumbs that might lead you to more uptodate information:
Yes. But there's not much publicly available. Just a food not bombs and I think a social space in Guangzhou. I think there is likely a larger underground of squats that are not really easy to find out about.
The Wuhan punks had a small bookstore/gathering space that was shut down in 2016 due to non-payment of rent.
The thumbnail is using the political compass as a way to assign well known personalities to political ideology. Lenin for authoritarian left, Trump for autoritarian right, Elmo for liberarian right and ?/nobody for libertarian left. We could discuss these placements, but the main point is that for libertarian left aka anarchism there is no leader assigned
Also thumbnails might be different for different users because of A/B testing from YouTubers or just normal updates/changes to the video by the creator
We were part of an ‘anarchist’ group once but we left because two people became the defacto ‘leaders’ and kept telling us that we couldn’t do things without ever explaining what they meant beyond just saying that we couldn’t (in a more specific way but we don’t want to let on should they ever find this).
That sounds like a really shitty experience. I left a (non anarchist) group recently because they tried to hide all the hidden hierarchies / differences in decision making influence, at least it felt to me like that.
I recently installed FreeTube and I am starting to use it more, but sometimes I feel like wanting to watch in a browser. Idk why
Does anyone know a working piped / invidous instance so I can share YouTube videos giving Google my data?
Ich finde an Sachschaden kann es bei Nazi Organisationen nie genug geben.
Stop discrediting ways of protesting you dont like by making sruff up. The outside agitator trope is a counterinsurgency tactic to sow distrust in resistance movements.
This already happened with the George Floyd protests and in the end no proof was ever shown for this being a relevant factor in any meaningful way.
