In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

I am literally an anarchist who has also done more praxis than most of your instance combined.

Anarchists in a community of Russia and chinese apologists. You're either stupid or a troll

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that time could be spent celebrating worthless morons like Makhno instead of working with people with whom you have common class interests.

Yeah i bet theyd be much better off in the other Online Anarchist Spaces, where they have contests to see who can hold the least anarchist value and still call themself one, more time is spent fighting Twitter Stalinists and overseas bureaucrats than asking for clean water for minorities in their own country, and any given user could randomly be a toddler or a DHS sockpuppet. So fun, safe, and productive.

lol what kinda anarchist chums around with MLs.

As an anarchist: like all anarchists (in the English speaking West) do this, anarchism is a small movement.

At the same time, i just spent a bunch of time arguing with a pair of Hexbear accounts that are probably Russian state media so uh... yeesh.

I'd stay clear from hard line MLs as an anarchist lol.

One who isn't a moronic splitter and understands that the imperial core is their actual enemy

People who realize we have more problems than minor theoretical differences? Nakoichi is an actual organizer who works with indigenous people and that deserves respect if you're any kind of leftist

[–] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you need to read more theory then

[–] axont@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

point at the theory that says I shouldn't try to work with every possible leftist in my area. I live in Texas. There aren't enough of us to go around already and we don't need to start splitting ourselves over irrelevant shit like the Spanish Civil War.
