  • I think you have the right values, but I think your conclusion is a bit off. I think supporting a state is antithetical to being an anarchist. You can support the people, and not a state. For example I support the Ukrainian people in their defense against the Russian state’s imperialism, however I do not support the Ukrainian state. I think its fine to think some states are better than others, but supporting a state is something else entirely. We need to break away from the idea of the nation state, and stop equating people with the nation state they are a part of.

    Edit: To add to this, I do not think an anarcho-communist society is idealism, and I don’t think we should settle for a “pragmatic” alternative. I think too many anarchists have fallen into a defeatist mentality, and while support anarchism, they dont believe it to be tangible. I think that is what makes anarchism intangible currently, too many of us don’t believe we can win. We lose by giving up
