pretend to be anarchists (communists)

Do you mean Proudhon? I suppose Mutualism was a primitive form of anarchism, but it didn't really take off until later.

I'm making fun of the idea that all anarchists are communists. Mutualism wasn't a "primitive form of anarchism", it's anarchism. Just as all the other non-communist anarchisms are. It's such a weird idea to assume that only communists can be anarchists when there's been... so many non-communist anarchists that clearly do exist.

And given those exist, the title "anarcho-primitivist" doesn't at all imply communist ideas.

Perhaps you should try not making fun of everyone who isn't as well versed in anarchist dogma as you.

Aggressive behavior towards newcomers is what keeps our movement from growing.
