this seems like a left-winged anarchist thread
Anarchism is automatically left wing.
Anarchism is automatically socialist.
Stop believing lies that Anarcho-Capitalism is a thing, it's not.
It exists this thread is just filled with insane liberals out of touch
The kind of posts you make when you don't know what words mean.

I think it is a thing, in fact I think it’s more likely to happen than actual anarchism. The problem is that it’s a horrible thing lol. Maybe one of the most misguided ideologies out there

How would you have a socialist society if there was no authority to enforce that workers get there fair share, also if you start your own business wouldn’t you automatically be creating a heirarchy.

How about read some theory? Many anarchist theorists have written about how an anarchist society would work (albeit idealist while attempting to be dialectical)

Most of any questions like this would be answered in Anarchy Works.

I've been reading some of the links you've been posting and it's all really interesting.

What have you read so far/what do you make of it?
genuinely wondering: if an anarchist system were to be established and the state were to be abolished, how would it protect itself from outward imperialist and reactionary threats?

We protect ourselves, we don't need a state to do that.
An anarchist society would be organised in a way which would facilitate this direct action as it would be based on networks of solidarity and mutual aid. An injury to one is an injury to all and a would-be ruler would face a whole liberated society acting against him or her. Faced with the direct action of the population (which would express itself in non-co-operation, strikes, demonstrations, occupations, insurrections and so on) a would be power seeker would find it difficult to impose themselves. Unlike those accustomed to rulership in existing society, an anarchist people would be a society of rebels and so difficult to dominate and conquer: "In the future society, Anarchy will be defence, the prevention of the re-establishment of any authority, any power, any State."
Just started this, pretty short read at 154 pages so I'll probably be done soon.
This inspiring history of the Cuban anarchist movement is also a history of the Cuban labor movement. It covers both from their origins in the mid-19th century to the present, and ends with an enlightening a***ysis of the failure of the Castro dictatorship.

Our comrades in Latin America faced disgusting oppression for their Anarchist beliefs.
Read a little about Brazil as well and it was more of the same.
Japan is not the only place this was attempted...
Maybe look into the history of Anarchism in Spain.
Hey so beyond all the readings in OP, anything u'd you recommend for someone just wanting to further understand the ideology?
like basically the essential literature (beyond anarchy works and conquest of bread)
like historical accounts of anarchy, anything that expands upon the philosophy behind it etc

Homage to Catalonia by Orwell
Read about the Free Territory of Ukraine too
The Llopart brothers and Salvador Puig Antich were some of the most memorable figures in Anarchist history
I got some documentaries on all of them but they’re all in Catalan unfortunately
However there was a book based on Fransesc Llopart’s life called Killing a Mouse on a Sunday and it was dope
If I recall there was a movie based off the book but I never watched it

I'm actually not sure if there's any books on this specifically but in some "travelers" journals, Indigenous American societies are essentially described as Anarchist. No state, etc,.
