Working class anarchist. Communitarian. Against the rule of wealth. In favor of the rule of elegant sufficiency for all in voluntarily-shared prosperity. Against permanent hierarchies and in favor of inclusive, real-time democracy employing no permanent hierarchies. Anarchists are styled as anti-social children who simply want to act out violently on civilized society. That's horse shit. Anarchism is the full flower and fruit of participatory democracy. If that sounds like bullshit to you, I guarantee you know very little that is true about anarchism or anarchists. Steps toward democracy: 1. All current social, ecological and economic crises are fronts in the class war. There is no struggle faced by working people today which is not a front in the class war, including all military conflicts, global poverty, and all interpersonal hatreds such as racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, etc., are no more than features of the class war. 2. Recognize that all the silly subdivision of capitalist classes are simply there to maintain the false hope of the poor being able to rise through the ranks to ascend to the citadel of the wealthy. In the class war, there are two sides: working class and owning class. As in any war, it is the enemy who defines the opponent. Who is working class? Anyone the owning class says so. Who is owning class? Anyone the working class says so. So, for the purposes of the class war, if you are not owning class, you are working class. There is no blue-collar/white collar division, no middle-class/working class division, no lower-middle, middle-middle, and upper-middle class divisions. If you do not own for a living, you are working class. If you need to depend upon employment to maintain body and soul, you are working-class. Otherwise, you are not.
