There's 2 camps in anarchist philosophy, and they HATE each other. The people in the streets are anarcho communists, and we have fundamental disagreements about the definition of anarchy.
Anarcho communists define anarchy as: No hierarchies at all.
Anarcho capitalists define anarchy as: No rulers at all. Hierarchies are fine as long as they're voluntary.
Yeah I find that confusing. For my whole life I viewed anarchism as no government, but these "anarchists" want MORE government to force no hierarchies. It's delusional. It's like creating a whole new word, but instead of actually making a new word, forcing a new meaning onto an already existing word, and then pretending that's what it has meant all along.
Hmmm... The democrats haven't done that with any other word right? I'm pretty sure it stared with a g... Guh.. Gend - Forget it. Must have been my imagination.
I regularly get into arguments with people on twitter who tell me I don't know what anarchy means as the historical association of anarchy is with leftist communists. They're completely delusional because like you said, they need a government in order to enforce their no hierarchy, which will of course, create a hierarchy.
And that, my friends, is why anarchocommunism is literally a contradiction. You cannot have “anarchy” and total government control of society. That is not anarchy
it's almost as if marxism uses semi-organized chaos in order to appear as though they're anarchists. it's really 2 things, though: the average idiot sincerely believes that they're helping to speak truth to power and dismantle what they hold to be tyranny—the loosely defined "useful idiot" group, and the other are the relatively few- which incidentally includes the media, who believe that they stand to benefit from it somehow- who know that, to the untrained eye and with an unexercised critical reasoning faculty, most people will view it more as "dumb, angry kids doing dumb shit" rather than the violent insurrection in which they're cognizantly engaging
they're not anarchists. that's a misnomer. whether they mean to or not, they're fighting for something that couldn't be further from any reasonable definition of anarchism
I don't think the pussies in the streets are anarcho-anything. They are straight-up totalitarian communists and the media is covering for them by calling them anarchists.
To add to Sargentpilcher: There is no Anarcho-Communism. It's synonymous with Violent Communists. Their Anarchy is an unreasonable fairytale - and the only government they oppose is the one not 100% obeying to their authoritarian rule.
The "no hierarchies at all" idea is just vague nonsense. If you have 2 people and one is twice as productive as the other, he is on top in a hierarchy of competence. In a free market it manifests itself in a better position and higher wage (for example).
For these Anarcho-Communist fags that's already a problem. You are supposed to be equal - the point is EQUITY. So the "no hierarchies at all" is merely a bad cover for hardcore egalitarianism. And how do you achieve that? You hammer down the nail that sticks out. Aka: You destroy, murder, oppress until everything is "equal" (which "equal" being devoid of meaning and open for arbitrary interpretation). And what can do that? A government. A very, very, very powerful, all-encompassing government. Who controls it? A tiny fraction of people, as usual. Who is at the receiving end of the stick? The rest of the population. And prepare for """mixed economy""" on steroids.
And voilà, you end up in the same communist crap as always - which ends in totalitarian socialist dictatorships that are more brutal, murderous and evil than Nazis could even dream to be. Yes, Communism is Fascism on steroids.
This is why they are just plain communists who use Anarcho-Communism as means to deceive. It's an euphemism. But if you look closely, they are just the degenerate foot soldiers devoid of meaning in life. Young, brainwashed, radicalized, ignorant, never worked a day in their lives. The more functional and smarter ones go through media, politics, bureaucracy, activism, NGOs, etc. But they share the SAME ideology. It's all the same: Marxism.
I gotta ask, since your one of those anarcho-capistalist guys, what do you think about all those anarcho-pussies in the streets?

It's complete dissonance.

It's not even no hierarchies at this point it is no hierarchies where they are not the top.
Hmmm, I never knew that, sounds more like me.

they believe in no gov but all gov at the same time is my guess. They literally have anarchist symbols on their "shields"
I thought it was cool when they were begging for food over at the CHAZ
