Hey, Libs,

Anarchism has a bad rap due to propaganda. The state hates anarchism. It's a viable threat to those in power because people can live, and live well, without kleptocrats ruining everything. You do anarchism every day without even knowing that's what you're doing.

When you get together with your friends and everyone gets up at the end of the evening and helps tidy your place before going home: that's anarchism.

When you volunteer to take care of a neighbor's pet because they had to go out of town: that's anarchism.

When the person in line in front of you at the grocery store is a few cents short on their bill and you pay it for them: that's anarchism.

When you shovel your neighbor's driveway because they can't do it themselves and it's snowing (or even just to do it for them for no reason whatsoever): that's anarchism.

Anarchism is people organizing themselves to do things without being told or forced by someone else to do them. That's it at its core.

It's not scary. it's not evil. A better world is possible and you can participate in it, you can bring it into being.

No gods, no masters, no hierarchy, no oppression.
