      So at what point was the US revolution proof of anarchism working? When the rich landholders rebelled against the king? Or when the rich landholders retainer power after the revolution?

          When people united against a common oppressor.

          No offense but I’m not even sure if you know what your politics are. The US rebelled partially because Britain didn’t want the colonists to expand West. It had nothing to do with anarchism.

              So just to nail down the goal posts before you move them again, you believe that native american tribes were anarchistic and because they were involved in the US revolution in some capacity, that makes the US revolution proof that anarchism works?

                No oppression, ok.

                you believe that native american tribes were anarchistic

                Are you saying most weren’t?

                because they were involved in the US revolution in some capacity

                Because they united against a common tyrant, yes, to revolt against a common oppressor, (oh look, my goal) to maintain their political ideology, (look solidarity!) When you know the declaration of independence was made to free everyone, EVEN if colonialists lied to keep slavery.

                that makes the US revolution proof that [solidarity against a common oppressor to liberate each other from oppression] works

                I hope this reading comprehension check works, if not, I hope you get to 12th grade comprehension this year!

                  Just to let you know, this is the first time you actually explicitly said why the US revolution was proof of anarchism working. Maybe focus less on other people having a reading comprehension level high enough to pull the words out of your mind and actually state your point rather than hiding behind vague statements.

                  When you know the declaration of independence was made to free everyone, EVEN if colonialists lied to keep slavery.

                  I’m not going to even engage with your other points because this shows that you’re very misinformed regarding the most basic facts of the US revolution. The declaration of independence was never supposed to apply to anyone other than (white) landholding men. Any indian tribes allied with either side were allies of opportunity. The colonists explicitly wanted to expand westward into the indians which the british were against. The british were not oppressing the indians, the colonists were.

                  I’m not going to engage with your further since you don’t seem to understand even your own positions.

                    Nah, you keep moving my goal. I said, since I started this thread, I’m anti oppression.

                    This entire community isn’t. So I had beef calling “freedom” “oppression of others,” so I corrected the meme, “freedom for all”: “anarchism.”

                    The declaration of independence was never supposed to apply to anyone other than (white) landholding men.

                    GLAD YOU COMPREHEND WHY I’M AGAINST THIS NEOLIBERALIST TAKE ON “FREEDOM.” May your WHITE LANDHOLDING Europeans grant you the “freedom” you so crave!

                    I’m not going to engage with your further since you don’t seem to understand even your own positions.

                    Your neoliberalism projection at its finest. 👌👌

                    Now are you going educate me on why Europeans should continue their colonial exploitation, or do I also need to walk you thorough your political position too?
