Question for anarchist types: what’s your goal?
To elaborate, I’m a libertarian in the sense that I’d like to decrease the size of the federal government in most areas, as well as being against most regulations. That said, I am fairly pragmatic about this, working and being involved in politics and government somewhat irregularly to advance these ideas little by little.
It seems a lot of those in libertarian circles who take on titles like anarchist, anarcho-capitalist, minimalist, etc. are opposed to there being a government entirely or close to that. Obviously, this isn’t practical. So I guess I’m curious to hear from you guys: what’s the point? Do you just enjoy the online social networking and dunking on statists? Are you normal 9-5 people who just want to rant online? Or are some of you relatively serious about desiring a revolution of some kind (be that violent or nonviolent)? Like why do you get online to talk about these ideas when your views will almost certainly never be taken seriously in mainstream discourse?
Tried being as respectful as possible. I don’t mean to take shots at any ideologies. Tldr: what do you personallu get out of being an anarchist?
