Illegalism is an anarchist philosophy which embraces criminality as a lifestyle. It's the second part of the renowned and enlightened charter: "Be Gay, Do Crime"
This is a place for exchanging tricks & experiences, discussing trends & events, sharing shitposts, and connecting criminality to theory & praxis.
Guidelines
- Be sure to follow the Anarchist Code of Conduct
- Probably try not to incriminate yourself (or others)
- No planning or calls for specific actions
- Make your own debate post if you want to debate the efficacy or ethics of illegalism
- Please consider providing alt texts for images
Rules
- No Lame-Os

Legality is to do with punishment. There are many things which I may not agree with 'morally' for whatever reason but by the same token I do not by any means believe people should be punished for those things, provided they do not hurt another person. E.g I've been vegetarian for 20+ years, and I strongly disagree with excessive consumption of meat on moral grounds, but I don't think anyone should be punished for eating meat.
