Hi everyone. Has anyone else experienced the mind-fuck that is anarcho-communism? I need some empathy before my head explodes. So lately, I've taken a strong interest into the anarcho-communist, anarcho-mutualist, libertarian socialist, etc. (leftist) world. I really wanted to consider their ideas with an open mind. After all, they claim to be anarchists, so they can't be that bad, right? WRONG! Not only are their ideas unbelievably bad in every way possible (evil, naive, unrealistic, etc.), but these are some of the most pompous people I have ever debated. They like to make posts taunting anarcho-capitalists by calling us "an"caps, as if we're supposedly not anarchists because we support "hierarchy" and "oppression" via voluntary trade. It's literally like watching a scrawny 10 year old walk up to a sumo wrestler and spit in his face. They have no idea how bad and embarrassing they look. I have directly asked many of them, and almost all support the initiation of force against peaceful property owners (such as businesses) because they're engaging in "exploitation". This worries me. Will we have to start shooting commies again? I wouldn't mind a whole lot, to be honest. I searched hard to find any merit to their ideas and found precious little if any. I can't be the only one tripping over my own incredulity here.
