@anarchismhub hey Anarchist News, are anarchists socialists? I’m new on my journey discovering Anarchism, and wanted your thoughts as well as any other #anarchists out there.

#politicalphilosophy #anarchy #anarchism

Also would love to get anyone’s definition of Anarchy. I’ve heard from Stephen West of Philosophize This that it’s hard arriving to a concrete definition that every anarchist agrees with because it’s so varied.

@vvbudh Hey! I'm not anarchistnews but I guess you could count me to the other anarchists out there and I'd love to discuss!
For me, anarchism is the strive towards a society where all in all there is as few force is used as possible, to archieve as little oppression as possible, maximizing the freedom of everyone. It's important that this society can only truly be archieved by leaving capitalism behind as with capital comes power and with power comes oppression

@loewenzahn that’s great! I would love to discuss more with any and all #Anarchist! #anarchism
I think leaving capitalism behind and reducing oppression sounds straightforward. The method in which we leave it behind will likely be the hard part.

@vvbudh I can recommend you the ABC of Anarchism by Alexander Berkman. I heavily disagree with certain parts of his theory, it's a very old book and such it's also pretty outdated about his analysis of capitalism and how to get to anarchism. None the less it's a great Introduction on Anarchism and an Anarchist society
