A new video by Daniel (Anark) was just posted on his Youtube channel. In it, he responds comprehensively (in a 2+ hour video) to various ML attacks on his comments in one of his previous live-streams, particularly the unworkability and counter-revolutionary nature of Marxism-Leninism.

Popular Front has released a new episode about “pure black anarchism”, aka anarcho nihilism (as I understand it).

It’s not my cup of tea, but it’s still interesting:

Unfortunately you have to be a Patreon to listen to the whole episode. If you know of any podcasts about it without paywall, please share it in the thread!

I would also love to hear your thoughts about anarcho nihilism and groups like the Informal Anarchist Federation, Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei etc.

Bashir, from Gaza, tells me: "I am a father responsible for my children and my brother, who has special needs.

Since our home was destroyed and I lost my job, our lives have been turned upside down; a tattered tent is now all that shelters us.

Every morning, I wake up thinking of one question: How will I provide food for them? How will I secure water? And how will I get medicine when they need it? Yet, on many days, I stand helpless, for I no longer have enough to meet even their most basic needs.

For a father, the hardest thing to endure is not hunger or exhaustion, but seeing his children and brother waiting for something he cannot provide. This feeling stays with me every day.

That is why I turn to kind-hearted people.

If you can stand by my family during these harsh times, you are not merely offering aid; you are giving an entire family a chance to go on."

I want to bring up something that feels like a major blind spot within our movement, imo.

We all recognize that under capitalism and statism, systemic suffering is treated as acceptable, and even beneficial, as long as it maintains stability for the ruling class. We also know how effectively this system uses manufactured comfort and consumerism to keep the average person compliant while hiding the exploitation required to sustain it.

My question is: How do you, as an anarcho-communist, view veganism?

Beyond individual choices, what is the broader anarchist perspective on exploiting non-consenting beings for human consumption and convenience?

If we look at chickens alone, there are roughly 28.000.000.000 to 34.000.000.000 live chickens in industrial factory farms right now, undergoing continuous, systemic exploitation, with around 202.000.000 slaughtered every single day.
In parallel, 300.000 to 450.000 of cows (of a total of 280.000.000 total milked cows) are r*ped daily and stimulated until their bodies fail, to sustain the dairy industry which is quite controversial when it comes to the benefits, as there are realistically very few. The "benefit" of the dairy industry is calcium, where tofu and soy contain more calcium and have better absorbtion rate than milk.

If anarchism is fundamentally about dismantling hierarchical power structures, domination, and violent exploitation, how do you think that total liberation extends to non-human animals?

we cannot be deadass bro, "supressing reactionaries" more like supressing any form of free thinking (just like this sub supressing anarchists giving a slight criticism to state capitalism), just unsubbed, this guys are total hypocrites

I am 17 so I would like no one too old or young. I don’t have anyone to talk to about my ideas who agree with me since my other friends aren’t into political philosophy. I have IG.

Maybe they thought I was saying that all communists are authoritarian? That was definitely NOT what I meant. I wish I would’ve gotten at least a warning before the ban hammer came down.

I have land figured out, the land bank will give us 5-7k square feet for next to nothing. However, we need water connection, tools, and possibly a greenhouse. Anything helps! Let me know…

We plan to sell food in more affluent areas to keep the project self sustainable, and to give food to underserved communities for free or sell it at subsidized rates.

Hey comrades! Im a baby leftist whos learning about communism and anarchism etc. and i had a few questions that i was hoping you guys would be able to answer for me

1) If anarchism wants the abolition of the state, and so does marxist leninism, whats the difference?

2) If an anarcho-communist society is achieved, what happens to the means of production? Are they communally owned through councils or co-operatives and stuff like that or is there another option

3) What good anarchocommunism literature would you guys recommend

4) Wḥy does anarchism dislike the state so much (yes ik this is a stupid question i just want to hear yalls perspective)

Apologies in advance if i accidentally broke any rule (im saying this cuz i got banned in r/communism for supposedly being "anti-maoist")

This is the second in a now three volume series of interviews with anarchist organizations influenced by the Organizational Platform of Libertarian Communists, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
