The Lack of Political Discussion on This Site

Hello comrades,

With the recent election happening in the US and the huge surge of right-wing politicians rising to power in Europe, I feel that there is a huge void of discussion here on this site about direct action and dealing with the fascist rise of power throughout the world. I understand that this site is also about anarcho-punk music, but there is a time for sitting back and talking about music and a time for talking about rising up and taking action in the world around us. I'd like to start the discussion of ways for everyone to implement direct action in their local areas and doing everything we can to fight the rise of neo-nazis and right wing radicals.

My favorite resource as of late is subMedia.tv, they are very effective at talking reality. They have recently talked about how to deal with the rise of white supremacy as a member of white society, so any fellow white comrades out there should take a bit of time to go watch this video and hear what they have to say about our role as white anarchists. Please comrades, we have to brig the fight to the enemy's front yard and fight them directly!

 

Of course, I came to this site hoping for a hub of political debate and action, but I've been a little disappointed by it all. Granted, the traffic for this site is so so so small compared to other forums, but I don't feel like a small meeting place calls for any less discussion. I know the admins on this site are strong proponents of action, but I feel like there is such a void of action here.
I hope this thread can gain some traction though, the biggest step forward is starting the discussion in the void. Any news from where you are in the world dumbum?

 

I agree Lardy. The world is changing and there is no better time for anarchists to come out of the woodworks and show what it means to be an actual anarchist. There is a huge issue with "branding"-for lack of a better word-when it comes to anarchism. Most people these days associate anarchism with bombs and death, not unity and cooperation. Its a mess and I have been mulling over all the ways that we can change how people view us.
I'm not saying we should have some grand branding change like the fascists have with the "Alt-Right". I'm hoping we can educate people on while we keep our name and honesty without lying to people like "no we aren't anarchists! We're neo-libertarian" or some bull shit like that. Any thoughts on the matter? Any ideas for spreading education on how our movement has helped the world? Similar to how the Spanish Revolution happened, starting with education then moving to action.

 

I'm not interested in converting or convincing anyone who doesn't want to back us. Liberals are the same as the far-right, they aren't anything that I would want on my side. I am interested in spreading the word to people who need to hear us, people who are low income or lower class or working class. I want to unite the lower class and the "middle class" who are actually just making by with loans and miserable paychecks. Those are the people who need us and should hear what we have to say. We are trying to unite the people, not the fuckwads who think that people fighting fascism are "the same as fascists" or people who think the only savior of this world is the free market. Its important to unite as a people and destroy the upper class. And that requires education and proper spread of information.
