Are Anarchist Organizations in Decline?

From <a href=“https://libcom.org/discussion/are-anarchist-organisations-decline”>libcom.org</a>
 

Following on from <a href=“https://libcom.org/discussion/what-do-people-make-democratic-socialists…”>Juan's thread about DSA</a>, he said something which I found very interesting, about the decline of organised anarchism in the US.

Can't we just start destroying things?

I mean, people is another matter. Nobody really wants to hurt innocent bystanders.

But there are so many things! There ain't enough cops to protect them all!

Banks are everywhere, they have windows, and bricks are not expensive.

Walmart and Amazon got their vehicles going by every day, multiple times a day. How easy is it to set a damn van on fire?

This might sound crazy, but everywhere I look these days all I see is the unattended property of the super-rich, just waiting for somebody to take a match to it.

raddle: it's all kicking off over there

So, someone calling themselves Ex-anarchist created one of the site's AMA threads inviting questions with this provocative intro:

*If one of my nieces or nephews told me they were anarchists, I wouldn't be happy. In my experience, being an anarchist means being around people who are dysfunctional and destructive. Most (all?) of their destructive behaviors are directed against themselves and against other people in the scene. Many of these behaviors are sexual.*

Trump wants $1 trillion US war machine

Trump wants record military spending….

Entire article quoted below:

"President Donald Trump said earlier this week that he wants a record-high $1 trillion U.S. defense budget.

The current Pentagon budget stands at $849.8 billion. The U.S. already spends the most of any country on defense."
