An Introduction to Anarchism

[TheVampireCabin]

As a transwoman, Anarchism has been a life saver for me! I too, am a Social Anarchist and I feel so safe around other Anarchists.

as a baby anarchist just starting to “formally” get into it, it’s nice to know that i already held up all these fundamental beliefs without knowing a name for them :D

Anarcho Judaism! Hayyim Rothman very recently released an absolutely incredible work with first time translations outlining the ideas of 10 anarchist rabbis, there are some core Jewish values that align very naturally with anti hierarchical ideology

[Holobrine]

You actually seem like a synthesis anarchist, your modern anarchism series synthesizes the two schools very nicely

[blackflagsnroses]

@22:03 Mutualism isn’t ardently market anarchist. It merely doesn’t preclude markets. Mutualism, as the first tendency and school of anarchist philosophy and sociology, before the anarchism movement and split of tendencies, is really Anarchism with its options opened. Proudhon as a Mutualist talked of Mutual Aid well before the communist tendency. Not an ardent market anarchist, but sought to turn the market economy towards anarchic relations and structures. To Proudhon Anarchy is ever progressive and amorphous, fluid and shifting. The Individualists were inspired from Proudhon, and took more of a market anarchist tendency. They easily identified as Mutualists due to the influence, but also to distinguish from the prominent social anarchisms. Most non-communist anarchists would identify as Mutualists, despite having not much in depth use of Mutualist social science and philosophy. From the Individualists only Stephen Pearl Andrews and William B. Greene held such knowledge of Proudhon’s philosophy. The rest were disciples of Josiah Warren with a bit of knowledge and familiarity to Proudhon’s few translated works at the time. Being a tendency of more idiosyncrasies.

Letting you know that you did a great job with this. Love these short vids!

I thought you might be a synthesis anarchist but then I remembered when you said in a video how we humans literally cannot live without relying on one another in one way or another.

The only YouTuber I don't skip ads for. <3

[anarchitect]

Perfect primer video. I've seen folks asking for this one for a while now.

[idkanymore]

I am definitely switching from marxism to anarchism (and yes, I will do my reading). Also, great vid

I'm for sure going to send this over to the people in my circle who are interested in or skeptical about anarchism, but I can already anticipate that they will reapond by saying "this all seems well and good, but what would a "solidaric society look like, in detail?What does anarchy look like post-revolution or in practice?" I know you talk about this in your long form video essay, but do you plan on doing an anark abridged video about what an anarchist society would look like from your perspective? (I also know you have the After the Revolution video; to me, since it is describing a transitional period rather than anarchy at its "height" I'm not sure it would provide the best response for my group. I try to explain it all the time, but I assume you'd do a much better job)

[samuelhelguero]

Nice, great as always. If youre looking for ideas on future videos, Id love to see a sort of "libertarian revolutions 101" on the makhno, mexican, rojava, spanish, and zapatista movements

[kshitijdalal]

Shared and liked! Hope more people watch this one and get into anarchism, brother <3

And all the best for the channel too!

Thanks for showing up in my feed 9 times, Jacob Seed.

The "Hey everyone!" Gets louder every video

[pieterdebeer]

When are we getting an Anark Unhinged rant series?!?

[deep_cuts]

I'm being introduced to anarchism by your videos. I'm glad you make them

[pieterdebeer]

Very useful vid. Gonna be sharing this far and wide.

[mutex]

Nice work. Will share with my wife who may have some confusion about anarchism.

[beeinthehive]

We need more videos like these if we're going to help lumpens and newer comrades to understand the nuances of anarchism, and it's also an excellent refresher for the more advanced. Excellent video. Thank you ✊🏴🚩✊
