Hi! I'm a teenaged anarcho-collectivist and am new to the forum. How I became an anarchist is quite interesting. My mom is a liberal and my dad, a tea-partying conservative. However, unlike my mom, my dad is actually very accepting of contrasting opinions and likes to debate. When I was in middle school, I was drawn to his conservatism, then to libertarianism, then to "anarcho-capitalism." However, I was thinking one day at the end of 7th grade (cringe) and realized something: capitalism isn't compatible with anarchism. Since then, my mom has been yelling at me for holding different views than her and my dad and I debate every day! I never understood people on both sides who get angry at people they disagree with, as I have learned to question both sides (something political correctness doesn't support.) After a brief "feel the Bern" moment, anarchism is here to stay!

I mostly agree with the anarchist community, but I never understood why it hates Israel so much. A people have a right to stand up to indiscriminate terror attacks and the occupation is going to continue until the Palestinians put down their knives and make peace. Israel makes some mistakes and is ruled by a right-wing hawk, but that's no reason to boycott a country founded on anarchism, as you can't boycott any country with a ruler and is about as evil as America is.
