Collectivism is collectivism. They're all the same. They all use the lie of "greater good" and "collective rights" to crush the rights of the individual. Race is just another collective.

Well said. Collectivism is a scourge on the planet.

Anarcho-Socialism and Anarcho-Communism are both collectivist ideologies for anyone who isn't aware. Source: Used to hang around AnCaps online for a number of years, and saw the collectivism from the AnComs and AnSocs first hand.

Very true.

Generally speaking, most people that call themselves anarchist really aren't. Real anarchist are rare, but they believe there should be no government at all. A true anarchist doesn't want to govern others any more than they want to be governed. Usually, their biggest mistake is a form of naivety in believing that all individual interactions can be settled at an individual level. Even the most rudimentary form of violent, "might makes right" rule is a form of government and thus not true anarchy.

The people who are currently trying to tear down our government, have big plans to instill a new, very strong government in it's place. There's nothing anarchist about that. They just like to use the lie of anarchy to rile up the useful idiots that are looking for any excuse to go on a crime spree and act out their post-apocalyptic fantasies.

Of course, those useful idiots aren't really anarchists either, they're just criminal opportunists. The second someone meaner comes along to beat them and take their stuff, they're all about rules and restrictions on individual action.
