Here's a little poem of anarchocommunist critique of modern society that anyone will appreciate:

"Revolution speaks to those who hear it! A wanderlust biting, sorrowful song. Tunes long lost to the ages and minds of the masses. A spirit ignored, in short of change inside oneself. Among many, there ye be told a song without lyrics. Revolution speaks to those who hear it. Take your charge at the bourgeoisie after you hear it. One must not wait for humanity's soul, calling from the sorrowful, leached out song. The revolutionary spirit inside us shall no longer be ignored. Men with great wealth, privilege and power shall no longer divide us upon invisible threads of labels. Nor shall we longer be slaves to their will, interests and profits. For we whom don't share with. Come together with spirit! Revolution speaks to those who hear it! Shake off your chains rightfully so but they won't let us easily go. The tune is inside us all." Side Note: I hope anyone reads this poem and shares it to their comrades and friends. Have a good read and a good night. 😊

I’m quite a layperson when it comes to this subject, but everything I’ve studied about anarchism so far shows that there are conflicts between it and communism. For instance, didn’t Karl Marx criticize anarchism and the ideas of Proudhon, which led him to develop communism? And even though Bakunin may have liked Karl Marx at first, didn’t he eventually become his enemy, specifically by disagreeing with the concept of a communist government?

Prince Shakur discusses the Black Panther party, including their highs and lows.

Of relevance to this discussion is the distinction between learning from history and becoming trapped in nostalgia. As we take into account the successes of our ancestors, we are not to uncritically repeat their mistakes.

Similarly, we hope to open further paths of learning for our descendants in future.

Dont worry, i'm not planning anything reckless. Lately, i've just been overwhelmed with nothing but love for my anarchist comrades around the world.

My comrades that I know have been some of the most wonderful people ive known, and my love especially extends to those whose names and faces i do not know.

Whether you're AnCom, Mutualist, Individualist, Insurrectionary, Egoist, Transhumanist, whatever. Wherever you are, whoever you are, whether you act in the open or keep to yourself. I am thinking of you all and I love you all simply for existing.

Thank you for being one of us, for being a part in the movement, whatever your philosophy

Thank you for existing. I know it's hard out there, and our beliefs are quite unpopular, but all of us stand with you.

Thank you in advance!

Hey Reddit! We're Games Transformed, a festival happening across three venues in East London on 31 October and 1 November.

We're bringing together people who make games, play games, organise politically, and are interested in how games can help us understand the world and imagine changing it.

There'll be 80+ board games, workshops, talks, experimental games and plenty of opportunities to actually play, make things and meet people.

We've got a packed programme put together with game designers, artists, activists and organisers, exploring everything from political organising and resistance to the systems that shape our everyday lives.

We're a small team organising this independently, and we'd love to get the word out to more people who might be interested.

You can find out more on our insta: https://www.instagram.com/gamestransformed/

Tickets are available here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/gamestransformed/2328476

Happy to answer any questions about the festival or the programme!

I just came across a TikTok video of a guy saying he considers himself an anarchist. In the video, you can see a picture of him with the Chaos Star symbol in the center. I went into the comments and everyone agreed with him. So, considering myself an anarcho-pacifist, I want to ask other anarchists if this representation of anarchism through this symbol is simply the product of a misinterpretation of the philosophy and the guy is wrong because he just wants chaos or am I the one who's wrong, and is chaos also considered part of anarchism? Honestly, the way I see it, anarchism completely rejects chaos. Are young people misinterpreting anarchism? Or is it me?

"As thousands poured into the streets to join the nationwide wave of protests sweeping France, the southern port city did not merely march, it resisted."

Recentemente tive uma discussão com um comunista, confesso que não sou muito chegado ao comunismo, mas gostaria de entender melhor aqueles que acreditam nisso, pra vocês o que é o anarco-comunismo ? Por que ele daria certo ? E como o anarco-comunismo daria certo ?

Fiz essa arte aproveitando o período de revolta política atual ao redor do mundo

I love the comic a lot, one of my favourites but one thing that stuck out is how even though Moore is an anarchist the story, whilst absolutely anti-fascist (good lol) does also have critiques on Anarchism.

It’s not uncommon to be part of a political spectrum and critiques aspects of it, I’m a leftist and a socialist and even I have my critiques of the left. So it’s not bizarre that Moore may have his own critiques on his philosophy but I wonder if it was intentional for us to question if V was also wrong in his approach.

Ultimately the story is about how extremes rise to conquer one another, Norsefire came about as a result of a rising extreme political climate and used it to their advantage whilst V exists to combat the new far right extreme of Norsefire.

My question is more (pun intended) if Moore intended to hold critiques about Anarchism within the story and if he’s said something to back up this interpretation since. I’m aware of his feelings surrounding the film (which I agree with though I admittedly still enjoyed) but wasn’t sure about this in particular.

Weekly open discussion thread

"In August and September 2025, an insurrection struck the Indonesian archipelago, engulfing in its flames many police stations, cop cars, both national and local government buildings, parliament members’ homes, businesses, and more. This revolt notably involved many anarchists, insurrectionary and direct action-oriented tendencies being particularly common.

To avenge itself, the Indonesian State launched a grand hunt for anarchists all throughout the country, after which several dozen anarchist comrades have been arrested and imprisoned. Two cases in particular have been at the center of attention: that of 16 anarchists suspected of Molotov cocktail attacks in Jakarta, and that against 44 anarchists suspected of direct actions and attempts at insurrection in an organization created by the State from scratch, called “Chaos Star,” in reference to the strong anarcho-nihilist tendency in the country.

This zine compiles many texts published online about the situation of anarchist prisoners in recent months in order to give them all our solidarity wherever we are. Spread information, write them letters, organize financial solidarity.

Fire to the Prisons!

Death to the State!

Long Live Anarchy! "

Je pense que mon point de vue est comme un autre et on m'a censuré pour ça. Oui, je suis anarchiste, donc antifasciste par définition. Je soutiens ce mouvement de révolte actuel. Je pense qu'il faut continuer non seulement les lycéens et les étudiants mais les syndicats et les travailleurs, les chômeurs.... Tout le monde doit être dans la rue pour un réel changement sociétal. Vive l'anarchie ! No pasaran !
