How to tell if someone misunderstands anarchism As I get fed up repeating the same responses over and over again ... I made it into an easily sharable image If you believed any of these misunderstandings then this is a chance for you to learn more and be better informed. #anarchism #anarchist
**How to tell if someone misunderstands anarchism -**
- They think anarchism is chaotic and unorganised
	- *Nope.* The O around the anarchist Ⓐ symbol stands for order or organisation
- They think anarchism assumes people are good natured
	- *Nope.* They know people are capable of evil thats why they don’t want them to be rulers over others
- They think anarchism is an individualistic philosophy
	- *Nope.* Anarchism has a long cooperative, collective and communal history
- They think anarchism is compatible with capitalism
	- *Nope.* There is no such thing as anarcho-capitalists because capitalism is hierarchy
- They think anarchism has only existed in small groups
	- *Nope.* There are examples of millions of people over country sized anarchist regions
- They think anarchism hasn’t considered how to defend itself
	- *Nope.* There have been very effective anarchist militaries 
Etc.

No Bosses: Ancient Engineering Marvel Was Built Without Rulers, Study Suggests
A 2,000-year-old canal system in Colombia visible from space was long assumed to be built at the direction of powerful rulers. New evidence is turning that assumption on its head.

‘Left’ and ‘right’ have had the same meaning since the French Revolution. If you want to know if someone is on the left or the right, ask them, ‘What is more important: human rights or property rights?’ If they say ‘Property rights are a human right’, then they are on the right.

Bakunin was far from the inventor of anarchism - he learnt it from anarchists like Proudhon, who Marx was also influenced by. Bakunin broke with Marx over his opposition to centralised state power creating a new elite. Bakunin sadly was antisemitic, just like Marx was. Both were wrong about that.
