#anarchosyndicalism

Continued thread

I guess it’s obvious I’m an anarchist, given my interest in autonomous collectives and democratic, bottom-up unions.

I advocate for abolishing the state as we know it, and the more I micro-blog about it online, the more it sparks real-life conversations.

Again, if you disagree, move on. Build new connections instead of clinging to the same person who’s now a committed Anarcho-syndicalist.

I was talking to someone in my Signal chat who said unions are hierarchical. But I don't see how that's true. If we're the ones running the union democratically from the ground up, with no bosses or rulers, how is that a hierarchy? We're not trying to replace one oppressive system with another. We're getting rid of the whole structure that stifles creativity, freedom, and solidarity.

If you're against syndicalism just because we organize through unions where everyone has an equal voice, no elites, no power imbalances, just people making decisions together, then you're misunderstanding what we're doing.

"Cold, the air and water flowing
Hard, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe

This, the song of sons and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build our future
Strong, united, working 'til we fall

Cold, the air and water flowing
Hard, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe

This, the song of sons and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build our future
Strong, united, working 'til we fall

And we all lift, and we're all adrift
Together, together
Through the cold mist, 'til we're lifeless
Together, together"

I think it's time for me to log off, revert to my basic profile and banner picture, and let all your feeds rest.

I spend a lot of my day reading Mastodon and anarchist media on The Anarchist @library.

As an anarcho-syndicalist, bisexual, gender-fluid, autistic individual, I also need to remember to take breaks sometimes.

Love to everyone on the Fediverse! See you in a day, a week, or whenever the mood strikes me to log back in!

We are not tearing down democracy, political systems, monarchies, or hierarchies just to create new forms of authoritarian rule. That would be replacing one system of oppression with another.

Instead, the focus is on dismantling centralized power structures, corporate domination, and oppressive hierarchies.

From there, work toward a society where workers collectively organize through democratic, bottom-up unions to build and sustain communities free from control and suppression imposed from above.

Continued thread

I've never voted for a political party, and I never will. Why should I support a system that puts profits above people's needs?

We need a community-driven approach where resources are allocated based on what people actually need, not just to make money. We should focus on creating things for our local communities, not just for corporate profits.

If our demands aren't met, taking collective action like going on strike is the way to go. I believe in taking direct action and building strong, community-led initiatives, rather than relying on parties that don't address our basic needs.

Sorry I can't find the video, too much crap using the same words on the internet. 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, here's another face of Zionism, the non-racist-genocidal-imperial-cannon-fodder-filthy-motherfuckers one :
