I’m an anarcho-communist and have been such for about a month but have been a leftist for over a year.

And therein lies the problem.

Most anarchists would agree that even under anarch there would still be a military. It would be fundamentally different, but there would be a military.

This probably isn't wrong, most people identifying as anarchists seem to think that most of the world's current structures would function the same and that the main problems of the world are capitalism nation-states (they're both huge problems, but it hardly ends with them).

I don’t want to join to support the militaries often imperialist actions. I do know and accept the fact that once I do join I will have to follow the orders given to me wether I agree with them or not. I have already accepted that as an inherent con in this plan for my future self. I do want to join however to protect my family, community, and beyond from any potential threats.

There's no way that this post is genuine. But then again...

I’m an anarcho-communist and have been such for about a month but have been a leftist for over a year.

It just might be.

But beyond that I need to join the military for me. I need the structure and the discipline.

"I know imperialism is bad, but just think of how much better a person I would be with my military fatigues soaked in the blood of brown children."
