I don't understand the need to cling to democracy.

If you need to redefine it, in order to make it work, shouldn't you just forget about it.

It's easier to understand when you consider how it is a key aspect of the massively-dominant ideology in this society and how some "anarchists" are refusing to go too wild by rejecting the main imperatives of the dominant moral order (as you know the majority can't be wrong!).

In other words, just being fucking normies.

Except that anarchists have always supported radical democracy and anarchism wouldn't even be anarchism without it. All anarchists are radically democratic and those that aren't are called ancaps.

An-caps support democracy, what are you talking about, Right-Populism is a core tenet of An-caps philosophy. You're not really providing a strong argument.

If you can provide some sort proof, that would be great, and I don't mean this article, it's not a good article.

Reinventing democracy to be the "positive-sum maximization of individual agency and control over their lives to the greatest extent possible", so that we can argue that democracy is an anarchist value, actually. What a pointless exercise.

Which also is double think... as democracy is in the way of maximizing individual agency and control over their own lives, by being herd-based politics, if not "majority rule" politics.

lol... Pretty neat how intensely downvoted this thread has got, in just two days.

OP you're better grow some brain cells and leave this weird C4SS cult.

Anarchy's not democracy.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, this is a good piece. Since when are we against self determination?

Since these tree fascists decided to force themselves into the anarchist conversation.

You arent anarchist. You are a pissed off liberal upset because you and pals aren't in charge. You get no sympathy from actual anarchists you dog
