@realcaseyrollins @jojo I would say some of the individuals were anarchist, in a manner similar to anarcho-Christian practices, but many of them seemed to be insurgents with no declared political preference, yet the weapons to enforce the leadership of their chosen leader (Raz in some cases, the heavyset motherly nurse in other cases, and I think there was a third.) But even if their principles were anarchist, the CHOPAZZLE itself remained dependent on its enclaving city the entire time.

I was homeless in Seattle for a few years. Slept rough until they convinced me to accept housing, just 8 blocks south of where the CHAZ took place. I knew that area well, very very well. Aside from the barricades and an increase in graffiti, I don’t think CHAZ changed the politics of Capitol Hill at all — when it became CHOPAZZLE, they kept on doing things by-committee and adapting as new complaints arrived, even if it inhibited their ability to continue helping everyone.

The man who hit two Black Lives Matter protesters on the freeway in Seattle is a black man. Left-wing activists on social media claim without evidence that the incident was a Charlottesville-style far-right attack. Both victims sustained serious injuries. apnews.com/741b01da9ce010717df twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1 #Charlotte #Protesters #Seattle

@tuxcrafting @shebang @jojo Of course, but that doesn't sound like anarchy to me, I thought anarchy was supposed to completely do away with violence

@realcaseyrollins @shebang @jojo uh yes? you're always gonna need an army, especially when your threat model includes the ussr, and like everything else was handled in an anarchic way

@sev @jojo Now that you have mentioned some examples, I will study them.

So you would not consider and an anarchist society? Why not?

@tuxcrafting @shebang @jojo Hmm, but didn't they have a standing army, the Makhnovists? Can it still count as anarchy if they had a militarized force?

@sev @realcaseyrollins @jojo

Could you explain in three or five sentences how real anarchism would work? I think freedom is good, but I doubt anarchism would work.

@shebang @jojo If you can provide of an instance where anarchy was successful, perhaps you will!

@sev @jojo I'm not saying you're an idiot at all, you're just not aware of the difference between how anarchy works in theory vs. how it works in practice.

@sev @jojo What did she do? Did she make a successful anarchist state, that actually worked in the real world?

@sev @jojo No, they have rulers.

I mean study if you need a crash course on how anarchy works in the real world 🤷🏾‍♂️

Dear white people 

@realcaseyrollins
Dear Casey,

I really like your view points. %)
Having a dream is fine. But sacrificing other people's lives for it, well, isn't.

@sev @jojo Are anarchists violent? No. But the citizens in a society will be once they get the chance.

I'll be going into the more in depth in my video I'm working on
