Keep poking the bear lol.

My take on it is that the moon missions DID happen, but a lot of the footage that was aired to the public was faked on Earth. We had/have the tech. Even back then, the black-ops space programs were way ahead of what the public knows about.

Attaboy.

I don't expect you to watch this but it's quite interesting

Jesus. I watched the first 45 minute documentary you uploaded and thought it was amazing and then when I come back to it you changed the video.

Concerning that first video, I've read about anarchism in Spain. It's inspirational what they achieved if only briefly. It's too bad Catalonia seems to be calling for a new state instead of no state.

It's going to be a little while before I'm ready to settle into your new link to a 90 minute video but I'm sure it's great. The footage and interviews in that first one are really something.

This is a novel set in Italy but if you haven't read it, I think you would enjoy it:

Anarchy has no distinct form. Some instances of it would get you to the moon. It would depend on the synergy of the organic leadership.

As anarchists, we don’t believe that any election could validate police violence, homophobia, racism, or misogyny, nor prisons, borders, or the destruction of the natural world on which everyone’s survival depends. No vote gives anyone the right to dominate others. The important question for us is not how to improve democracy. The important question is how to defend each other from the violence of the state; how to find ways to meet our needs that don’t depend on unanimity or coercion; how to collaborate and coexist rather than compete for power. You could say that the opposite of fascism is freedom, or that it is solidarity, or direct action, or resistance. But it doesn’t make sense to say that it is democracy. Democracy, yet again, has been the mechanism that brought fascists to power. Rebel Girl: Hey Dogg, yknow, like any anarchist, I don’t want to be ruled by a right-wing strongman OR a left-wing Workers Party—hell, I’ll go even further and say that all the supposedly left-wing parties bear at least some culpability for strengthening the apparatus of the state so this Bolsonaro character could take it over

Homie isn't wrong.

I'm roughly anarcho-socialist, but I think I'm a bit closer to the "middle of the left quadrant" rather than the bottom left. I'm not sure if that's mutualism or anarcho syndicalism or what.

I have a feeling I wouldn't agree with any other anarchists on this website... cause most people here are self-confessed *******s. But that's okay.

It's my go to label for myself, not sure I fit an exact definition however
