Antifa? Seriously? Where did this come from? Who is telling the police to look for people fighting against fascism? Better yet, why aren’t the police helping fight fascism?
I am 100% in favor of Confusing the Man, but using leftist liberation theology hasn’t worked so well in Latin America in the past, mostly due to entrenched opposition from the Vatican itself (not to mention military opposition from the US via the School of the Americas, etc.)
Plus, I myself might make common cause with left religion in a pinch, but would be profoundly uncomfortable with it unless it were, say, Quakerly/nonhierarchical in nature. You can’t be an anarchist and think the Pope has a more specialler connection to god at the same time–or at least, I can’t reconcile the two.
If I really wanted to Confuse the Man, I’d start calling cooperative mutual aid “Bootstrapping”.
I must be misinformed because this seems like the opposite of anarchy. How is it anything but socialism? People getting together and pooling resources to build infrastructure that benefits all of society is not what anarchy is supposed to be about. It’s like building a Starbucks and calling it punk rock.
Are there even any far-right white nationalist groups for Antifa to fight in Puerto Rico? It doesn’t seem like the island’s demographic makeup would be a great fit for Neo-Nazis or the KKK to get much of a foothold.
There are fascist Jews. What makes you think there wouldn’t be fascist Puerto Ricans? Also, quite a few Puerto Rican’s consider themselves white…
*the irrationality of fascist ideologies also allows them the flexibility to take root anywhere there exists a non-insignificant quantity of nationalists.
@the_borderer provided some good resources, but to sum it up, modern anarchist philosophy sprung from early socialist thought, so yeah, socialist AF. Philosophical anarchism has nothing to do with nihilism, and is certainly anti-capitalist.
As long as they’re on a solar kick, why not build one of those parabolic hot dog cookers and cook up some Long Pig when confronted by the boys in blue? /s
