The Feral Underclass

"Its interesting to reflect on my own development as an anarchist and, what Ive learned from this experience is the following:
-People who identify as anarchists are often idiots. Avoid thinking of them as having any useful thoughts or views just because they call themselves an anarchist.
-Anarchists continuously repeat past mistakes without learning from them or being aware of these past mistakes. And when I say past, I mean anything more than 2 years ago.
-You cant create a formal organization with people who are anti-formal organization.
-Insurrectionarys (whether class war or social war), primitivists, post-leftists and anarcho-syndicalists/communists cannot exist in one organization.
-If the basis for a possible organization is 100% folks between the ages of 17-25its probably not worth the trouble.
-People who are against workshops at a gathering/conference have shitty politics and want to bask in irrelevance. Rightly view them as lunatics and dont try to convince them of anything.
-If its called a gathering, welljust go to the bar instead.
-If the phrase feeling out our affinities is said more than once, without irony, your best bet is to go home.
-Those who speak in vague, wordy generalities and refuse to talk about concrete examples should be scathingly insulted. While it may not accomplish anything, it will make you feel better.
In summary, most in the stereotypical American anarchist miliue are moronic half-wits who will bring you to the brink of renouncing revolutionary theory and practice itself in favor of non-involvement and becoming a mostly apolitical person. The only useful purpose they have is that some of us eventually come out of that subculture and phase and onto actual serious and sane organizing."
