Hey all, I'm hoping this is the right comm for this kind of post. I'm really interested what brought my fellow lemmings to anarchism (or just radical politics in general). Was is a youtube video? A book? A conversation IRL or on the internet? For me personally it was a friend IRL who introduced me to an local anarchist collective.

Because I love people.

But other than that (lol), I found anarchism through the punk movement and me being an edgy little kid. I realized how much I genuinely wanted to be the positive change in my world, and I began participating in soup kitchens and being involved in my community pretty frequently and I got tired of seeing all the injustice.. So I began to read a lot of theory at 15 and now here I am!
