I only go for ISO 9001 certified anarchy.
:2000, or :2015?
Going to stop scrolling now because this is it
the aesthetics on the right are better. don't gatekeep my penmanship
Honestly, they both have an appeal. The left is better for most organizations and looking official. The right has more of a "fuck the system" je ne sais quoi. At a protest? Use the right. Printing out pamphlets? Use the left.
If someone handed me a pamphlet with the left one on it, I'd assume they were a cop.
Personally I'm more of a skull and crossbones a la Anarchist Ukraine type of guy for official stuff. Also harkens back to the golden age of piracy which is always great.
The left seems impossible to hand draw. If it's not done perfectly, it just looks bad. On the right, none of the lines are supposed to end at a certain point, so whatever you draw is fine.
Strong disagree but I'm not about to piss on anyone's personal parade, I wish you enjoyment of your preferred aesthetic.
The left one makes me think the Fantastic Four are known as the Avengers in one of those infinite alternate realities we haven't seen yet.
I mean, you can do whatever you want.
Part of Anarchy is understanding and accepting that that is a true for all individual life regardless of any laws or guideline.
Consequences come after actions and do not stop committing to an action.
But the more important part is taking this knowledge and asking ourselves, how can we deal with this fact and build a society that respects it while maintaining order?

I feel like this is the crux that I've seen people disregarding too often. They know how to make the perfect society, and it only requires everyone else having the same exact ideology and priorities that they do.
Every time I see someone advocating for anarchy on Lemmy (which is a lot), it comes down to “well if everyone works together in harmony and also there are no neighboring states with imperialist intentions, then everything will be great!”. If everyone was perfectly altruistic then literally any government form would work - capitalism, communism, even fascism.
That line in particular isn't an ideology, it's a fact. Committing murder is illegal, but if I want to, I can still murder someone. More generally, systems can be put into place to prevent behaviour, but anyone can still try to get around them.
(I'm not a full on anarchist since it doesn't seem practical but I do agree with many of the ideals.)
If there are "consequences" for drawing an anarchy symbol in one way or another, I'm not sure that the person advocating these "consequences" believes that involuntary hierarchy is a bad thing.
They're not wrong, but the edgelord comparison and the gatekeeping are just bad.
This guy explains it better than I ever could.
Imagine gatekeeping anarchy...
You can't make me!
Anarchy means I can do whatever I want, including gatekeeping anarchy itself. That being said, that Rothmus guy is just an unprincipled right-libertarian, and of course he aggrees with fashy abortion bans to "punish the removed for not using condoms". The whole "prostitutes are using regular abortions as their primary form of birth control" is a lie likely invented by Hungarian far-right blogger and failed gamedev Tamás "Tomcat" Polgár.
The concept of Anarchist Gatekeeping is mind-blowingly ironic.
they oversimplified the anarchist logo smh my head………
Isotype anarchy symboll
Woo account with a caduceus staff background and some new age star of david airs their bias regarding anarchy symbols
DSA lib doubles down on the opinion to imagine a scenario where anarchists behave hypocritically
Yeah I guess this accurately sums up how it feels to be an anarchist on the internet.
So many tears are being shed.
One of these things is fundamentally harder to scrawl on a bathroom wall.
Reminds me of how the peace symbol came from an N and D for nuclear disarmament, similar aestheticl
For those who also couldn't figure it out in your head, it's apparently semaphore.
Neat. TIL. Thanks.
If not sure it's best to buy an official Anarchy stamp at Your local Walmart.
the president of antifa retweeted this
I always thought it was supposed to be upside down coz fuck rules
I always thought it was so you could see an A from any direction.
On the one hand, I've long said that Skater kids who can't define Anarchy scrawling the symbol on bus stops in sharpie never does us any favors, on the other hand the top comment isn't wrong
Anderson Dawes and Fred Johnson are arguing again.

I don't want to belong to any club, that wants me as a member. ☝️

Amazing that Karl Marx's long-lost hollywood brother said this
We're all individuals!
Amen!
it's the same picture
go home Pam
....you're trolling me, right?
Others' defined boundaries do not limit your freedom; they merely delineate the point beyond which they will choose to no longer cooperate with you. Those who agree with the sentiment may simply choose of their own free will to refrain from association with you if you are nothing but a shallow and unserious edgelord shithead. If you do not like how people will respond to your behavior, you may wish to consider changing your behavior.
No gods. No kings. No mods. Only the emergent consensus of equal individuals en masse.
Isn't Rothmus a weird ancap type?
Went to find this twitter account. Already blocked
Blocked? I'd suggest to delete your Xitter account...
back in the day our university had anarchist intellectual club. it consisted solely of tenured left-leaning professors who talked shit about their place of work while staying at work after hours to massage their egos and also first-year edgelords saying inspirational quotes from social media. it was funny as fuck to sit at their meet-ups and listen to their empty posturing. if you wanted to decompress and take it easy - that was the place.
It sounds like a nice place to be, honestly. I would have enjoyed hanging out there. I'm glad to hear it existed. If I'm lucky I'll find someplace like that at some point in my life.
my description made it look better than it actually was - that whole scene was incredibly toxic and hypocrite. It wasn't a serious discussion on how to self-organize and create a sustainable community or just spread knowledge - it was mostly about "ain't Nestor Makhno was a cool guy, huh? I think Bakunin was gangsta bro" - that kind of depth - shit like this is kindergarten. that is why i called it funny. It was posturing.
none of the folks who studied political theory and economy ever showed up in that place. It barely had anything to do with actual anarchism as much as it had everything to do with bunch of people just supporting each other in being childish and naive in their perception of the world. Nothing wrong with that in itself but it is very counterproductive in actually understanding anarchism as practical theory you can use in your life.
when you draw a symbol for anarchy the make sure you follow these guidelines
Not necessarily. You wouldn't call the guy who takes care of the road the ruler. There's inherent power there, but mods do necessary activity for the community
The position can definitely be abused though
Keeping that precise "A" exactly inside the "O" doesn't seem very anarchic. Let's bust those borders baby!
I have always thought of "anarchy" as "the people organize themselves and shape their own community".
It means the absence of outside rulers. There can still be rules internally.
Absence of rulers not the absence of rules. Anarchy is the opposite of Hierarchy.
The rules are simply mutually agreed upon arrangements between independent entities, with no one singular entity being able to exert controlling authority over any other.
There is plenty of literature about what Anarchy is as a political system. There are even different subsets of organizational structures, such as syndicalism, but they are all based upon a horizontal structure of authority where power is derived from the bottom up rather than from the top down.
yeah you put it better than i did but the foundational principle is the same
The A is so neatly inside to O.
One might say constrained or imprisoned by
"Order Without Rulers"
drawn with a compass and ruler
its not a ruler, it's a collab with straight edge!
It’s bittersweet to think that this comment will never get the recognition it deserves for being genius, but at least I was here to see it.
Ah, but ask yourself this: is that ruler ruling over you, or are you ruling the ruler, effectively making that ruler a ruler in name only?
If the ruler is a tool that you use, this is good.
If the ruler is a tool that uses you, this is bad.
