A lot of folks in the—cringe—“liberty movement" have taken to talking about the detriments of "not being part of the solution," infighting, and criticizing the arguments, notions, and plans of other libertarians.
I couldn't be more encouraged. Individuals are abandoning persona worship, going their own way, and not giving a damn if "everybody gets along" or not. And you know what? NOBODY IS KILLING EACH OTHER OVER IT. It's proof of concept! And you know why, unlike statists, we individualists are not killing each other over these things? WE SHARE THE FOUNDATION OF UNCOMPROMISING RESPECT FOR AND ADHERENCE TO THE IMMUTABLE, OBJECTIVE, AXIOMATIC, METAPHYSICAL TRUTH OF INDIVIDUAL SELF OWNERSHIP.
Real anarchists understand that people will never agree on everything. That is why we are anarchists. Statists are still trying to find "just the right amount of violence and coercion" by which to force everyone to AGREE ON EVERYTHING. It’s a goddamn fool’s delusion.
So you know what, give a big fuck you to anyone telling you you're "hurting the movement" if you are arguing your truth, and remind them that aside from respecting individual self-ownership (and by natural extension the property ethic derived therefrom) this was never about "we," “the movement,” or any one “leader,” but about the smallest minority there is, the un-divide-able, individual.
YOU THE WOLF.
LEAD YOURSELF.
FUCK PERSONA WORSHIP. KILL THE BUDDHA.
ARGUE A LOT, and
VIVA NON-VIOLENCE!

Graham Smith is a Voluntaryist activist, creator, and peaceful parent residing in Niigata City, Japan. Graham runs the "Voluntary Japan" online initiative with a presence here on Steem, as well as DTube and Twitter. (Hit me up so I can stop talking about myself in the third person!)
I thought anarchism is a violent ideology, now I know the whole concept of it, but i don't think anarchism will succeed in political jungle.

I dont have a problem with infighting, that can be healthy, since we are a philosophical and not a political movement, we dont really need a critical mass like voters do in the political system.
What does bother me though, is anarchists picking sides with the political left and right, and identifying with either side, when we should have escaped the left/right paradigm long ago.

I agree @johnvibes. So long we can just "identify" PERSONALLY with individual ISSUES we're pretty much in the clear.

I don't get the whole movement thing either. Well......in a sense, I get it.....because it's hard to be an individual ...it's pretty alone sometimes, especially in the beginning, you want to find people who think like you.....I guess that's why I went to anarchapulco in 2017. I met a few people......but I saw also all the agenda's and deviations from what it is about.
I often observe conversations, and think; What is it that they want?
I see statist pulling at i.m.o. principled anarchist, and think to myself, what do you think they are gonna do, joint "the movement" don't you see that what you are trying is hopeless? Go do what you want to do, talk to super statist and try to get them in your movement....some will past through your movement and become an anarchist, bad for your movement, good for freedom.

Yeah, I finally had to switch it to YouTube to get it to work. For some reason Dtube wouldn't work for me last night.

I think too much infighting keeps us distracted from the real enemys.(the state, fascism and any authoritarian belief systems). Constructive arguments on ways to move forward are progressive. fighting about who has the best solution is not constructive but combining the solutions to find a definte path forward maybe is.
There is no 1 solution and no only 1 way to get there but many...

Agree 100% which is why I am highly suspicious of anyone proposing a one-man, centralized solution as some are doing now.

AND I LOVE IT!!! Sofa king pumped rn fam.
Bro, this is how I feel too. It's easy to joke and meme about the infighting, but that's the literal best part. The incessant debate and progress is what it's all about! That's how the world gets better, and that's what the marketplace of ideas ACTUALLY IS! 10/10. Wish my upvote was more than a damn penny lol
