I am an anarchist. If you haven’t heard much about anarchism before, you probably have some misconceptions about it, so I encourage you to watch the Q&Anarchy video series by Thought Slime or have a look through an Anarchist FAQ, because it’s almost definitely nothing like what you think. I personally believe that it’s the most coherent philosophy which adequately explains and addresses all of the problems which plague our society, and which holds the most promise for a path out of the inevitable cycle of the continuous rise and fall of fascism that capitalism makes inevitable.
I’m plenty familiar with anarchy but it’s not a valid strategy for large systems. Some systems are better for small scales some for big ones, it’s not a single shoe fit all.
Thanks for your reply, I hope you don’t mind me copying and pasting something I wrote to someone who replied something quite similar:
Actually, there are current and historical examples of very successful anarchist societies. For a couple of examples, at present, the Zapatistas exist, an anarchist region with at least 300,000 people living under it, and also that Revolutionary Spain existed, an extremely successful example of anarchism in practice which resisted Nazi Germany better than any democratic nation in mainland Europe.
Socialist of what kind? Socialist communism is as close to fascism as you can get without being explicitly fascist.
