Beliefs

Civics and Organization

I am an anarchist. For me, anarchy is neither a doctrine, ideal or lifestyle, but rather a process, a mode of emancipation that is realized through the individual's acceptance of and defiance towards the absurdity of life and maintained through the "atheization" of its own (anarchist) politics, the rejection of their sacred and messianic elements. It is the rejection of class, capital, government and all other oppressive structures of the modern world. Moreso, I am a synthesis anarchist, meaning I oppose tight organization and support a diversified anarchist movement, in order to preserve individual autonomy and self-government, and to move as far away as possible from hierarchic systems. Contrary to many modern anarchists, I don't believe democracy, if completely direct, to be authoritarian and strongly advocate for communes and collectives within the anarchist movement to be loosely democratically organized (similarly to situationist councils for generalized self-management).

Economics

Philosophy and Society

Philosophically, I think I align most with optimistic nihilism or absurdism. In the way I perceive it, life is irrational and has no inherent meaning, but find that to be a positive observation, since accepting it can encourage the individual to rebel against its absurdity and seek happiness in chasing their desires. I also believe that the human experience and, in extension, "reality", is subjective and unique to each individual, and agree with the constructivist notion that knowledge is constructed through experience and social discourse, as opposed to passively perceived, and that every human's behavior is shaped by their environment. I am neither a collectivist nor an individualist, as I believe there is no real distinction between the two, since society is itself a collection of individuals. I consider myself socially progressive, although I am strongly critical of the willingness of modern progressivism to cooperate with soulless corporations that identify with social issues to generate profit, as well as its hypocritical support for several "progressive" bourgeois institutions. I am for complete individual freedom and the de-consecration of all social values. I believe that holding any idea or value sacred, be it of religious, political, social or any other nature, corrupts it, and therefore that tradition is harmless only until when it is (consciously) voluntary.

Environment and Technology

I am a staunch environmentalist and a firm believer in social ecology, the idea that ecological problems are social problems, and that the harmful machinery of the state, capitalism and mass industry are primarily at fault for the current environmental crisis. Ideally, I would be in favor of a solarpunk-style society where technology and environment perfectly coalesce, but seeing as that is an impossible goal, I am supportive of an outlook similar to that of the post-civilization movement, based on the belief that civilization, the modern world's organizational structures and approach to culture, is unsustainable, and that we should move past it, not revert it.

Praxis

I believe reform can accomplish very little in terms of altering the status quo. Instead, I would propose a form of insurrection focused on decentralized attempts of land accumulation in the form of squats, loosely, informally organized communes and rural and urban autonomous zones, akin to autonomism, accompanied by general acts of civil disobedience. I am not positive that a large scale anarchist society can be achieved in the present day, but such a revolt will allow for the people within these zones to live and work as they please.

Critiques

Brazilian Liberalism - I like the social progressivism. You are a national liberal, so naturally I disagree with your opinions on economics, government and the nation (also the surveillance state advocacy is scaring me).

Mordecaism - I am very confused as to whether this is an attempt at describing Mordecai's political ideology or a genuine self-insert. Regardless, individualism and general progressivism are cool. Capitalism I am not a fan of and I don't think "individual freedom granted by the government" is freedom at all.

Romantic Egoism - I am way too philosophically illiterate to have an objective opinion on this, but I'll do my best: I am neither an egoist nor an insurrectionist, although I understand the necessity of the latter in certain environments. I like individualism and gender abolition, and anti-capitalist markets are something I'd like to look into more in the future.

Cannabis Anarchy - Anarchism, communism and environmentalism are cool, and I like your ideas on organization and distribution. I'm not an egoist, but individualism and self-liberation are good. Why did you list Kropotkin as a negative influence though?

Rigby Thought - I disagree with pretty much everything on your page. I have nothing more to say, please try to understand people and society better, and read some theory while you're at it.

Neocarlism - Fascist detected opinion rejected. Syndicalism is okay, and Ark is a good game I agree.

Timocratic Neocameralism - As a culturally left anti-capitalist, who is not too much into the idea of reestablishing slavery (shocker, I know) it is natural that I strongly disagree with most of your ideology. Your staunch opposition to democracy is also something I don't align with. That being said, peri-urbanism is a cool concept and I am sympathetic to georgists compared to other capitalists.

Hoodism - I really like autonomism and autonomist praxis, and situationism, as I have said before, is something I'd like to look into more. Individualist socialism is also great. Post-leftism is cool although not exactly my thing (not yet, at least), and I believe we're also agreeable socially and economically. We have a lot of overlap, and it's cool you're an anarchist now. Great ideology overall.

Baxism - Just scrolling through this page makes me realize I should read more, so I'm not sure I can offer an objective critique of this. Socialism and cultural progressivism are great and I am really fond of your philosophical influences, especially altruistic egoism and optimistic nihilism/absurdism. I am not a fan of any sort of authoritarianism (I also find the notion of "authoritarian egoism" very confusing) and you claim to be sympathetic to falangism and a few other quasi-fascist movements, which is worrying.

Hysteria Thought - As far as I can understand (not much honestly) this ideology is just anarcho-capitalism on LSD. I very much like your civics and individualism, and I think we also align a bit socially. I greatly disagree with your economics, although it's cool you are positive towards a gift economy, and I am very confused about all the neoreactionary stuff (and the anti-environmentalism). Overall great though, surprisingly, and your art is fucking amazing.

Theoanarchism - Anarchism and queer liberation are great and panarchy is a very cool concept. With that out of the way, you seem to be a raging racist, religious fundamentalist and borderline socially fascistic, all three of which are for me the exact opposite of great. Also the death obsession stuff is a bit weird.

Radenism - Nationalist, conservative, quasi-fascist authoritarian monarchist. I think the only agreeable thing for me about this ideology is that I enjoy Indonesian food.

TIIKKETMASTER Thought - I like your social views, civic libertarianism and individualism, as well as alter-globalism (although it seems we disagree on quite a few diplomatic issues). As a right-libertarian, I naturally disagree with your economics, as well as your proposed autocratic nightwatchman state (which seems pretty authoritarian to me honestly), although it's cool you're anti-trust and support equal land distribution. Overall good for a right-libertarian.

Dokevism - Collectivist economics and progressivism are great, and so is indigenism. I'm okay with reformism, although I do not believe it to be effective. Capitalism I definitely disagree with (the georgism makes it slightly better) and we differ greatly on the civic axis. Overall alright, and you seem very well-intentioned, I suggest you read a bit of anarchist theory.

Lehianism - Authoritarian, ultramilitaristic Zionist and an avid supporter of ethnic cleansing (it's literally the first thing mentioned in your page). There's not much more to critique, since this ideology is just Zionism expanded, there is pretty much nothing I agree with here (which is not surprising, considering you believe, and I quote, "all anarchists are antisemites").

Meadowsin's Basilisk - Anarchism, autonomism and alter-globalism are great, and so is your philosophy. Egoism I can sympathize with, although I do not espouse it fully. Post-leftism, as I have said before, I'd like to look more into and, as with egoism, I do not reject it. Overall fantastic, and very sophisticated.

Post-Jefbolism - Anarchism and communism are great, egoism is kinda cool, I don't really understand post-structuralism well enough to comment on it, and I'm not sure about accelerationism. I'll probably expand this when there's more written on your page.

Proletariat Builderism - Anti economics? Good. Autonomism? Great. A gift economy and the synthesis of individual and collective? Fucking amazing. Extreme cultural reactionarism? What the fuck. If you were to just drop the racism (I don't think that's too much to ask for) this would be a great ideology.

Lankajori Thought - The average conservative minarchist. We disagree on social issues (although you're not exactly homophobic, which is good), economics and democracy. Environmentalism is great, and your civics are good too.

Nuriskianism - WIP because I'm dumb and need time to process this.

Yoda8soup Thought - Socially and economically fantastic, and environmentalism is great too. Our civics differ significantly but our values very much align, and I love your philosophical influences as well. Other than that, you were one of my first friends on the wiki, have influenced me very much in the past, and are terribly nice!

Mindform Anarchism - I love the progressivism, anarchism and anti-capitalism, and frontierism is very interesting. I also like your synthesis of progress and tradition. I'm not sure about transhumanism and I am definitely not a fan of posthumanism, but overall your ideas are great and you seem very well read.

Resnaisisme - Race anarchism? What? Civics are good, economics are okay, socially fucking horrible. Why do you deny being a reactionary?

Sapismo - Liberal capitalist. Ecology is cool.

N.Cortexism - Fake "progressive", neoliberal imperialist cop nut and genocide supporter. In short, no. The Killer Kitty alt invasion will not stand.
