UK anarchist groups
So, I've just left the evils of authoritarian socialism and realised the truth. So, now I'm looking for a group to possibly join to learn from and help.
I have a few questions first
So, in communist groups you have the Maoists, ML's, Trotskyists, tradmarxists
does anarchist spaces have anything like this too? My only possibly though would be some support Anarcho-Syndicalism more than Mahknov. This is just a guess I have no clue
Has the Anarchist Federation (uk) stopped? I've been trying to access there website and its been taken down and there social media presence seems non-existent
I have emailed one group to see what they are about ACG (UK). But, it just seems such a shame there are so many tiny groups.
What are your favourite anarchist texts?
So far, as an intro I've read On Anarchism by Noam Chomsky, about half of Anarchism by Malatesta and a few pages of Emma Goldmans Anarchism and other essays.
Thank you for your time in reading this, any answers would be much appreciated.
- FYI why I moved away from ML's/communists
I started getting into politics at about 11-12 because I was inspired by Jeremy Corbin.
and over the past years I've loved talking to communists and reading communist books (even though I struggle with much of the texts as my reading level is not amazing) but after hearing about the shockingly terrible CPGB and the useless nature of the RCP and to an extend the RCG too. It made me think that these people don't actually want to make a difference. I fully came to this concultion after a LONG conversation/debate with a fellow ''comrade'' in which they basically said ''well all the movements of the past weren't real communism and I don't support any of them'' and ''only think we can do is wait for a revolution'' to me this sounds like a person who only enjoys marxism to flex on people like me for know knowing what ''Antagonism'' or ''social fascism'' or ''Hitherto'' means, I have since learn what all these mean but at the time of conversation I tried to get help to understand these and yet my ''comrades'' showed no support
I now have a new found hope in anarchism. Please anarchism community don't be like ML's
