Go to RAAN. Lip service only to the Red part.

Is yellow anarchist someone who wants to support Labor Party and reject authority?:blink:

Hey, I liek RAAN. A bit. Fun times were had when the RAANistas were around.

Anarcho-capitalists, national anarchists. They're anarchists in the same sense that national socialists and state capitalists are socialists though.

Then again there are anarcho-individualists who genuinely are anarchists, but not 'red' in any sense. Then there is the red-green split, but people on both sides of the split tend to be both red and green so its mostly a matter of focus and style. But focus determines praxis and praxis determines theory so meh.

Fuck these guys, seriously.
You could argue that they're not even real anarchists because capitalism=hierarchy.

Some Proudhonists wouldn't consider themselves 'red' either.

You could toss out that article where their Lord and Savior Murray Rothbard says "No, dipshits! We aren't actually anarchists!"

We must therefore conclude that we are not anarchists, and that those who call us anarchists are not on firm etymological ground, and are being completely unhistorical.

And, thirdly, I also argue the logical conclusion of anarcho-capitalism is neofeudalism (http://pastebin.com/Wf4wH2MH) (post I made on another forum) because of market centralization, mercenary forces, etc. (Just a suggestion, but one that seems to work well for me)

The reason why there's a "red anarchist" distinction has to do with its history.

Anarchism has probably been around longer then Marxism.

Before people like Bakunin, anarchism wasn't quite socialist at all...if it were it was of the utopian socialist variety at the most. Proudhon and such devised "mutualist" type. If anything, anarchism came out of liberalism plus as a reaction against the changes that capitalism was bringing about in the 1800s.

But these other, older types of anarchism have become mostly superseded by "libertarian socialism" or "red anarchism" which puts it focus on the working class, is more anti-capitalism than anti-state (it just sees the state as incompatible with socialism), and in recent times it has evolved in a way where one can see many Marxist elements within anarchism.

Which reminds me- what is it with Marxists harping on about how Anarchism evolved out of the Liberal tradition as if Marx himself emerged fully formed out of Zeus's skull?:laugh:
Not something that I'm accusing anyone in this thread of doing, but Duke's post just happened to bring that to mind.
