IDK, I’m just your friendly neighborhood #bisexual who’s really into #anarchism, especially the rocker-flavored, anarcho-syndicalist kind.
Sprinkle in a dash of #ActuallyAutistic
Yeah, call me a fucking baby anarchist, I don’t give a shit, because that’s exactly what I am. But don’t you dare shit on me just because I chose to watch a clip from Noam Chomsky.
Rudolf Rocker is the one who really inspires me, not Chomsky, so don’t fucking trash me just for watching a clip from Chomsky.
You do you and I’ll do me. Cool? Cool.

Am I late to work because I wanted to hang this up before heading out this morning? Absolutely, I sure am!

#HotTake:
Liberalism is a syncretic religion where the highest deity is the State and all other deities are subject to it. Liberalism asserts this distinction by classifying political systems as deriving from "natural law" and religions as faith systems. Classical liberalism divided the world into "primitive" beliefs and "enlightened" beliefs. Atheistic anarchism aligns with this distinction by opposing the state and capitalism through logic, rather than asserting that the state and capitalism are themselves systems of faith. Atheistic anarchism further reinforces the narrative of the liberal state by aligning with the liberal understanding of religion as a "primitive" institution.
Graeber et al pointed out the connections between property rights as a form of fedishism (magic) and the evolution of currency, debt, taxes, and the state from temples.
Please, tell me again how anarchism is chaos.
If this whole sorry episode of human history shows us one thing, it’s not that “we don’t need leaders” but that the very concept of “leaders” is incompatible with the future of our species. Advanced civilisation cannot survive under these primitive hierarchies that concentrate inordinate amounts of power in the hands of a relative handful of individuals. Look at the sorry state of these danger clowns.

You wait for the elections to roll around, even though things are urgent. You vote, then you wait to see who is elected, then you wait for them to come into office, then you hope that they will pass the laws that you want. If things don’t work out, you wait for the next election, and repeat the process.

The workers' freedom must be the work of their own hands, the emancipation and liberation of the working class cannot be granted or imposed by external political parties or authorities, but must be achieved through autonomous, collective action and self-organization.

Here is a great documentary on the Spanish Civil War!

Watching the Once Upon a Time... intro hits me with how tiny and temporary my life is compared to the giant sweep of history.
The scenes of people through different ages make me wonder what any of us really mean in the big picture.
The vast flow of time shown reminds me that anarchism is the way forward to break free from repeating cycles of power.

I don't mind working, but not when decisions are made over our heads and the value we create gets siphoned off elsewhere. Work should be about democratic control, where we all have a direct say in the workplace, and our efforts strengthen our local community, not when profits and power leave our hands.

Sometimes I wake up to the liberating feeling that no one holds authority over me. If only the world would recognize this freedom and dismantle all forms of oppression!
#Anarchism #Syndicalism
Honestly, I want to be remembered as an anarcho-syndicalist who really cared about building solidarity and living a simpler, more meaningful life.
Not just some random three-year-old autistic gamer who spends way too many hours glued to the same video game.
Like, there’s more to me than that, you know?
#Anarchism
Anarcho-syndicalism is really cool, and Rudolf Rocker is a big part of that for me.
He spent years lecturing about it at the Jubilee Street Club in the East End, and his book is one of my absolute favorites, that I always keep close by at home.
I wish I had a better picture, but hey, this one’s what you get!

Anarchism and Linux share key similarities in decentralization. Anarchism puts power back into the hands of the people through democratic, decentralized communities and bottom-up unions that organize collectively without hierarchy. Similarly, Linux operates as a decentralized system where no single entity controls the whole; instead, development and decision-making happen through collaborative, distributed contributions from a global community.
They also align in the principle of mutua…
State socialism, authoritarian bullshit, tankie trash, and Marxism-Leninism? Fuck that shit straight to hell.
Syndicalism, oh yeah, you’re making me blush over here. Worker self-management? Mmm, that’s the good stuff, keep it coming!
#Anarchism #Syndicalism
You say you represent my rights in Parliament? Alright, I want my rights asserted right now. Not later, not after some debate, right now.
What’s that, you can’t? Fine, then I’m done with your system. If you won’t give me my rights, I’ll claim them myself. Anarchy it is.

Yes, I believe in and follow #Anarchism, and I have a huge crush on Rudolf Rocker’s syndicalist take.

I stand in solidarity with workplaces that are democratically run by unions, where the workers themselves make all the decisions and manage the work for their own benefit.
I also stand in solidarity with organizations that are run democratically by their members, so that everyone involved has a direct say in how things are done.
#Anarchism
I really do support #anarchism, no kidding, and I’ve got an embarrassingly huge crush on Rudolf Rocker’s syndicalist ideas.
If that makes the tankies (#MarxismLeninism) roll their eyes any harder, I’ll consider it another victory for my
Do I process anarchism best through pictures and memes? Absolutely, that’s my brain’s native language!
Can I make sense of anarchist theory in text form? Sometimes, especially if it’s Rudolf Rocker.
Can I actually explain anarchism to other people? Nope, my brain just hits a wall.
Welcome to the wonderfully autistic way my mind works!

You see, this is why I don't explain #Anarchism through text, but imagery!

Since childhood, I have viewed the family as an inherently authoritarian institution, a primary form of domination that compels obedience and suppresses the individual’s natural freedom to organize themselves, as Rocker made clear in his unyielding critique of all authority.

Rudolf Rocker never married his longtime partner Milly Witkop because they saw marriage as an authoritarian institution, and I have to agree with that view!

Just your daily reminder that I stand firmly against #MarxismLeninism, and all the Tankies desperately trying to make authoritarianism cool again!

How do tankies manage to support oppressive regimes with such enthusiasm? It’s like they took fascism, flipped it upside down, slapped a red flag on it, and called it leftist liberation!

Do I understand what freedom really means? Absolutely. Can I explain it clearly? Nope, that’s a hard pass!
Luckily, the image below does a way better job at explaining it than I ever could.

"Men of my generation have had Spain in our hearts. It was there that they learned ... that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit and that there are times when courage is not rewarded."

#AlbertCamus #Anarchism
I see the church, the state, the authority, the family, the master, anything that seeks to dominate me as expressions of authority that stand in opposition to the free development of the individual and the creation of a society based on voluntary cooperation and mutual agreement.
#Anarchism #Syndicalism
I wish my family could see how much I care about anarchism, syndicalism, and especially anarcho-syndicalism, and how serious I am about building a different kind of world.
They still hold on to the image of me as someone who just spends all day gaming, like that’s all I ever was. But people change, grow, and find new paths.
If they can’t accept that, then they don’t really know who I am now, and it’s painful to realize that the people closest to me can’t see the person I’ve beco…

I’m just a baby anarchist, okay? If you start arguing anarchism with me, I’ll probably blurt out, “Chomsky,” wait, no, not Chomsky, I mean, um, oh no, did I just say Chomsky? Sorry, my bad, I meant Noam, actually scratch that, he’s not even spicy enough for the group chat.
Actually, I meant Rudolf Rocker all along. I have a crush on his syndicalist takes, if you test me on theory, I’ll just pretend I’m reading Chomsky so I can collect some extra hate from the group chat, honestly, noth…
Common ownership? Never, so long as society clings to economic monopolies and the machinery of state, true freedom for all remains impossible!
As Rocker argued, only the abolition of all monopolies and the creation of a federation of free communities, where the land and means of production belong to everyone, not privileged minorities, can end exploitation and allow genuine liberty to flourish.
Until then, "common ownership" is just a slogan, not a living reality.
If you identify as autistic and share an interest in anarchism and syndicalism, you will likely find Rudolf Rocker's writings both accessible and engaging.
Rocker was a prominent German anarchist thinker and activist whose struggle I share common ground with, especially in how he saw the family and marriage as forms of authoritarian control that limit personal freedom.
You can find his collection of writings here:
Definitely not a Communist but surely an Anarchist!
#Anarchism #Syndicalism #Communism #Marxism
There are days when autism feels overwhelming, and I find myself oversharing every thought and feeling that comes to mind.
But then, just as suddenly, my mood can shift. I’ll feel a surge of energy and want to shake things up.
That’s when I dive into my collection of anarchism memes and start posting my latest finds for everyone to enjoy!
We are here, unapologetically autistic and proud, and we refuse to be silenced!
Even here in Norway, so-called freedom is an illusion, I'm still bound to a boss and forced to sell my labor just to keep a roof over my head.
Real liberty can't exist while our lives are dictated by wage slavery and the demands of the capitalist system!
