A series of unpopular opinions about the internet, anarchism, and marxism (1/3)

Unpopular opinion 1: you need a little bit of power at some places to survive to institutional destabilization attempts

Internet, like anarchy, is meant to be "order without power"

Gafams are savage capitalism, i.e. power without order

Unpopular opinion 2: the internet being an overtly anarchist project is how we've let the Gafams sneak in

Sometimes the end justifies the means and nobody's got time for moral purity call-outs

I know who this quote is from but social media are killing people

Unpopular opinion 3: I know we all hate indoctrination but it's either us or TikTok so we'd better get in touch with maoists and negociate occupying the field. I'm thinking about the Black Panthers Party giving free breakfasts to Black kids, setting up bootcamps, etc. They're excellent at this so let's do it

Anarchism is notoriously white but we can work hand-in-hand with maoists, give a no bs discourse to PoC, and get them on board

I.e. "this is what anarchism is good at, this is what marxism is good at, we're doing both and we're smarter than the internet"

This is how we can push back fast against racism (and climate change)
