This is pretty good tbh, I find it interesting that the article seems to be against it

You could look up the anarchist front in iran and Afghanistan. That's not Iraq obviously but might interest you

In an anarchist society automation is amazing. In capitalism though it's meh because as you say it puts people out of their jobs

This is pretty good to read even if it doesn't completely answer my question it helps a lot

 

I know that anarchism, specifically anarcho-communism and marxism are very different. People always talk about their main difference being that they have a different means of achieving their goals but the same end goal , but that's definitely not true. So what are some of the ways they are different?

Police clearly protecting the fascist meat industry. Nothing. This is why they must be abolished

Perhaps some introductory anarchist texts, I think most of them give a good description of was authority is, although you can easily think of authority as anytime someone has power over another person. Whether that power is to force them to do something they don't want, say something they don't want, or violate their own bodily autonomy in a way they do not want

Very very true

Yeah often feels like marxists seek the liberation of workers and no one else. Like communism is cool and all but the concept of a dictatorship of a proletariat, when done correctly, gives workers all the power over everyone else. While workers having power is definitely good, it would mean workers could dominate and oppress any other group that doesn't or can't work like disabled people. That's why anarchism is way better

Great read. People believing they have the right to eat meat is clearly based on the fact that they believe humans to be supreme and above other nonhumans

A lot of countries opposed Germany in "ww2" because they wanted their country to be the global superpower, not Germany. So it's not that they had an issue with Germanys ideaology, but instead felt threatened by it's existence, similar to how the US and USSR felt threatened by each other's existence. In fact both the US and Soviet union had policies of their own that were pretty similar to the nazis. The US had Japanese internments camps, along with racial segregation. Soviet union had gulags and the great purge

 

Basically the title. I'd like to meet some more anarchists around where I love and hopefully become more active with them and potentially organize. Just not sure how to start that so would helpful for some ideas!
