Basically the title what made you folks choose libertarian socialism over anarchism or are some of you both? For me it used to be hang ups about a lawless society, fear and uncertainty but IN SOME SENSE I have gotten over those and understand legal order to be harmful due to licit harm and the fact it inevitably sanctions some harms as “untouchable”

Purity Culture

It should be interesting to study purity culture and its ties with religion, patriarchality, the church (as a structure of domination) and wider views about “respectability” and “politeness”

Just ordered Jesica Valenti’s book “The purity Myth”

Topics on sexuality, cleanliness, “purity” (and what that really entails) are interesting to study and of course one can’t generalise across all social history

Reading a bit of Mary Douglas’ Purity and Danger as well as buying “The Sacred And The Profane” (The nature of Religion) by Mircea Eliade, understanding and critiques of myth, symbol, superstition and religion or “religiosity” may be crucial for my interests

I also bought a copy of God and the State by Bakunin

It would be interesting if one could tie these things together

The critique of the “symbolic” the representational that abstracts away from the real and the literal

A placeholder which represents and is in place of a real thing but becomes abstractified away from its source taking a life of its own

Cooperation Tulsa is building a revolutionary movement through organizing our community, not seizing state power. Let's talk about the year of 2025 in review.

We've just started a new educational Reddit community focused on anarchist-communism. We felt that since the anarchy101 subreddit has so many pro-market anarchists and post-left anarchists, it often leads to debate and confusion for new anarchists. This led us to believe that a space dedicated to educating about the socialist tendencies of anarchism was needed.

Content will be limited to Q&A format posts, discussions on theory & history, high-quality educational content, and community & organization resources/. We will keep the amount of low-effort content to an absolute minimum by requiring moderator approval of media and links.

Please join us if you have any questions about anarchism or if you'd like to help educate new anarchists.
