I understand you gave up control of the genzanarchism discord due to pushback from the users. Was this because you told them you were no longer an anarchist?

Of course not. I left / got kicked out because I was too 'authoritarian'. I thought that my way of running the server was the best idea, and the mental strain of constant pressure did not help. I discarded anarchism after being kicked out, having a grudge against anarchists, the only Marxist i knew IRL recommended me state and revolution. After a grudge and theory, I no longer identify with anarcho-communism. I call myself a ML / Communist now.

What did you do that they decided was authoritarian?

Idk, they wanted 'democracy'. Which was just a popularity contest obviously. I resigned and gave it to someone who I thought would do a better job than me. Now they do have that 'democracy', and in the process lost 200 members.

Yeah I get this. Democracy is just a tool for narcissists to force their will on others and prevent them from resisting because "it's democratic".

I wrote about the problems with democracy here if you're interested:

w/democracy

A lot of anarchists fetishize it, but it's not really compatible with anarchy.
