[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children) can you elaborate your question? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 1 point 2 weeks ago (1 child) I wanted to know what distinguishes post-left anarchy from classical anarchism. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) even "classical" anarchism had different branches (schools?). We shouldn't treat it as one monolithic movement. Today anarchist movements are scapegoated as "ultra-left", to pull frightened masses towards extreme-right (banalised as right) but anarchists, refusing to participate in the government, had no place in the left-right seating of politics. What do you mean by "post-left anarchy"? edit: i was reading "Les Nouveaux Anarchistes » by Francis Dupuis-Déri. At the end of the book he mentioned Bob Black. I started reading one of his from https://theanarchistlibrary.org/ and now i know what you mean by "post-left anarchism". Not everybody is aware of who Bob Black is and the terms he invented. i had a copy of "The Abolition of Work", printed as a pamphlet, handed out at a squat. It was light and fun. "Post-left" doesn't mean much when you're not into Bob's writings: "What is post-left anarchism? I’m not sure who coined the phrase, but it looks like I did." permalink fedilink source parent
