I'm tired of reading about "right-wing anarchisms" (slrpnk.net)

The fantasy-story of right-wing anarchy is creating misinformation, someone thinks that something like "anarcho-capitalism" is real philosophy, instead of the linguistic distortion of fascist-capitalism that it is.

Should people even specify that they are left-wing anarchists now? Do we really want to put a stop to this propagandistic joke? Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.

And I will tell you more: anarchism is by its nature also pacifism, as it aims to prevent any form of uncontrolled power on others. This is to silence even centrists: another fake group, people who think that it's not "extremist" in its own abstinence, in delegating violence.

Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.

Anarchism is "extreme" left now? Since when?

This sounds no different than the "far left" bullcrap liberals and their fascist cousins have been peddling in the last while.

Exactly, extreme as a head of a rope relative to its opposite extreme. Don't be fooled by the media's fake goodism, "extreme" in this discourse is perfectly contextualized, as at the apex of the political path of progressivism.
