I'm a Better Anarchist Than You

[bencarpowich]

Being a better anarchist is inherently hierarchical, therefore I am a better anarchist than you

[danielmiyahara]

singing is bourgeois, I'm a better anarchist than you

[nikolaswagner]

This is the "love me im a liberal" for anarchism

[John-wdmx]

I think I'm become an anarchist just because this song

[aiso]

When your only ideologically pure IM A BETTER ANARCHIST THAN YOU

[artemismoonbow]

What is more radical than ripping apart the dogma of your own "side"? If you see a sacred cow walking down the street, slap a "kick me" sign on its ass. That is the only way to end hierarchies.

[revolutionaryrabbit]

It's true, he is.
In the justified hierarchy of better anarchists, I am right at the bottom.

[Pazliacci]

I like how the message of this song isn't "doing these things makes you a lesser anarchist" rather that thinking you're superior for doing these things makes you a shitty person.

[liborbrzobohatyboro]

Dude... as an anarchist, I so fucking love this! Fuck the hidden hierarchy and pose.
PS The first song ever that made me to participate in anything on this "platform" or whatever it is.

I voted today, and came here because I actually felt guilty about it, lol.

I click and I share, with my heart on my sleeve,
Online revolution, so much to achieve,
A like's all it takes to show that I care,
My couch is my front line, so I'm sure aware,
In my virtual world, perception is true,
I'm a better anarchist than you.

I change my profile picture to the cause of the week,
With a filter and slogan, no need to even speak,
I fight with my keyboard, my passion is reviled,
Though petitions are tame and their impact's mild,
In the safety of my room, where no real risk is due,
I'm a better anarchist than you.

I retweet the rebels, and their chants I sing,
With every post, I fight capitalism's sting,
But I ignore the homeless man out on the street,
I'll just scroll past, no need for eyes to meet,
With a hashtag and meme, my duty's all through,
I'm a better anarchist than you.

I join the groups, I follow movement pages,
I fight the system in digital stages,
But a protest march? Oh, that's not for me,
I'll watch it online, in safety, you see,
My emoji's a fist, my commitment's barely true,
I'm a better anarchist than you.

I'm a warrior online, I'll tell you what's wrong,
I criticize others; 'cause in my world, I'm so strong,
But when faced with real issues, I'll quietly shy,
I'll keep to my screen, and outside world defy,
In the echo chamber, where my likes accrue,
I'm a better anarchist than you.

I'll sign an e-petition, or write a fiery blog,
I'll comment and argue, in my digital fog,
I'll wear my opinions, and shout them quite loud,
But never leave comfort, never join the crowd,
Despite all this, I proudly claim it's true,
I'm a better anarchist than you.

[FroggyCrimes]

All socialists and anarchists can come together and acknowledge that they are all better than AnCaps.

[benjaminsullivan]

THERE IS NO ETHICAL CONSUMPTION UNDER CAPITALISM

[samyrandome]

I see Seattle has had an underground anarchist thing going on

[battery]

How have I only now discovered this gem of a song

[lanceexists]

Aight I would say everyone needs to hear this, but some people would take this seriously 😳

[petrasabor]

Brilliant satire, comrade. I had a phase like this, but I suppose we all do. Glad to have come out of it.

[RedGreen]

After all these years this song still hits.

[ivichivanovich]

Moral superiority sucks! love this song

[chamberpunk]

What Murray Bookchin would call, "lifestyle Anarchism"
