How should the economy work?
- It should be run and controlled by the workers through unions.
- As a free market based on service contracts and free association.
- As a Communist society as it's the best way to maximize individual freedom.
- As a Communist Society as it's the best way to ensure liberty, social equality, and solidarity.
- As long as the principles of community self governance, worker's self management, and direct democracy are upheld, I don't mind.
- It should be run ecologically sustainably no matter what.
- We should experiment with different economic styles to see what's best for an Anarchist society.
How should Anarchists organize?
- Into tightly knit federations that uphold the ideas of tactical unity, theoretical unity, and collective responsibility.
- Into radical unions that can organize the workforce and engage in direct action.
- Into loosely organized federations that maximize the autonomy of members and member groups.
- We should experiment to figure out what is best for the Anarchist movement.
- However we organize, we should be inclusive to all types of people.
- However we organize, we must be sure to not harm the environment.
- However we organize, we should make sure to commune and break bread with our fellow brothers and sisters.
- However we organize, we should maintain as much personal autonomy and freedom for the individual as possible.
What is the most important cultural issue for Anarchists to focus on right now?
- Gender, sexual, and race based discrimination.
- All issues should be tackled through the unity of affinity groups specialized in their respective field or issue.
- The massive overturn of Christianity from a liberatory belief to a statist religion.
- Cultural issues should be addressed via social insertion of Anarchist ideas into popular thinking.
- The ongoing isolation of individuals from their neighbors the state and capitalism forces us into.
- Cultural issues are largely caused by the material conditions of social classes, we should focus on class relations in order to fix them.
What do you think about wages?
- They are unfairly distributed towards the privileged in a capitalist society.
- They suck as of now, but we should experiment to see if they'd work more properly in an Anarchist society.
- Wages themselves aren't necessarily a problem, they are simply coercive and hierarchical right now instead of voluntary.
- The bible said all should recieve their fair and just wages, and it is still true to this day.
- Wage labor is unjust and unfair, worker organizations and communities should abolish the system in favor of something based on mutual aid.
- It is unacceptable, people are entitled to the satisfaction of their needs and shouldn't be judged based on how long they work.
- It is unacceptable, the workers should deliberate with and decide for themselves what they should earn.
- Some Anarchists are okay with it, so I'm okay with them doing it.
Is the ecological crisis a social crisis?
- It doesn't matter, it's a crisis and we should try to figure out how to fix it in an Anarchist way.
- It is a social crisis, but it's also much more than that. It should be our number one priority as Anarchists.
- No, the idea that how humans interact with another could cause such a catastrophical problem is ridiculous.
- It doesn't matter, we should influence popular environmental movements so we can solve the crisis in an Anarchist way.
- Yes, hierarchical organizations like the state and corporations are what are actively killing the planet.
- What is killing our planet is the ruling class that feed off of the environment's exploitation.
- What is killing the planet is the ineptitude of capitalist corporations, if the working class controlled them they would act in an environmentally sound manner.
- What's important is that it is a crisis in the first place, so now more than ever we need to unite as a movement to organize our autonomous collectives better.
Should we set up worker's councils to organize the workers of a community?
- It's definently something we should at least try.
- As long as they're inclusive to all working members of the community and not just employees, housewifes and other such workers have been excluded from councils in the past.
- Yes, that seems like a great way to organize the working class to make their community ecologically sound.
- As long as they uphold the utmost autonomy for their members.
- I'd prefer if neighborhoods and communities would get together around the basis of commune and connecting with the lord.
- Worker councils have proven successful in the past, we should create our own but it is preferable to insert ourselves into already popular ones and gain influence that way.
- Worker's councils are directly democratic, worker managed, and decentralized. There's no reason not to support them.
- It is better to focus our resources towards unions as focusing on the workers in localities rather than in specific businesses and industries gives the workers less bargaining power.
Should we use eco-terrorism to secure animal rights?
- Whether or not we do, it's important to keep in mind that trials for terrorism will go significantly worse for minorities held accountable.
- Animal rights must be secured, these options should at least be on the table.
- Violence against other humans is wrong, we shouldn't stoop down to the ruling class's level.
- If all of us in the federation agree on it, then yes.
- Terrorism simply scares individuals away from our movement, we need to address the systemic relations that caused the lack of animal rights.
- The corporates who own big farms will never stop hurting animals for their own gain, we must consider this option.
- The corporates who own big farms harm animals for the sake of profit, if the workers controlled these companies there wouldn't be a massive abuse of animal rights.
- Anarchists who wish to engage in that should be allowed to, it's not the duty of all Anarchists to decide the direction individual Anarchist groups take.
Should Nationalism or National Liberation be a part of the Anarchist movement?
- If it is successful in liberating those in a specific area then we should consider it.
- Nationalism often conflates with traditional values that harm the women and queer people in a society, we should be wary of it.
- The local ecology of a nation makes up a lot of its culture and thus the natives often know what's best for the land, but it has also lead to nationalistic hellscapes like China where the environment gets ruined.
- Nationalism is a ridiculous notion that shouldn't be a part of an Anarchist's lifestyle.
- We are all children of God at the end of the day, no reason to seperate us by where we were born or what culture we're in.
- Nationalist movements have shown to be popular and sometimes even liberatory in nature, we should look into these movements and influence them with Anarchist ideals.
- We should remain constant with an international Anarchism, we are more seperated by class then we are nationality.
- If an Anarchist is an Anarchist to free his/her nation then good for them.
Should members of an Anarchist federation be held responsible for the federation they're a part and vice versa?
- Anarchist organizations shouldn't ask its members to share the responsibility of the organization, that's tyranny.
- In some cases yes, in others no.
- Of course, a group should be responsible for it's members and members should be responsible for the organization, we must all be aligned to get anywhere.
- What's important is that cisgender, male, and straight people ensure that queer people and people of color get a voice in these federations.
- What's important is that Anarchist organizations respect the decision making process of directly democratic votes.
- What's important is that Anarchist organizations respect religion and religious people within the federation.
