#Anarchism #FactoryOccupation #DirectAction #BetterWorld

The #Anarchism I believe in is about #compassion, #love, and #joy. It is about holding each other up, in all of our #vulnerabilities, in good times and bad, and committing to a #BetterWorld together. It's about living.

This is not a definition, and it's not the most precise or complete way to describe anarchism as I understand it: #AnCom #SocialEcology. And sometimes #rage, conflict, and even violence are necessary to uphold the greater good. But we can't get so lost in the fight that we forget what we're fighting for. I look to #EmmaGoldman.

I say this not to tell anyone else what to do, but to be open about myself. Because I know I haven't been living up to this. Recently, I have felt so much directionless anger, not even attached to anything in particular. I suspect this is related to a recent medication change, which I am in the process of figuring out, along with multiple major life stressors happening all at once. But I am focusing on reclaiming my #RadicalJoy. I know this doesn't mean I have to be 100% #positive all the time; that's unrealistic and toxic. But living up to a joyous, caring anarchism is generally a commitment I feel is needed from me and worth making.

For me, what I'm fighting for, nurturing for, learning for, creating for, living for, thriving for, etc. are many things including anarcho-communism, social ecology, #Intersectionality, #DisabilityJustice, #QueerLiberation, #Solarpunk, #Decolonization, #TransformativeJustice, and #Abolition. I need to remind myself more often what it means to support those things, not only to oppose their opposites.
