    Sure! Plenty of examples, both alive, and in the past.

    It’s just extremely saddening when statists forgo teaching basic anarchist praxis, and prefer to indoctrinate statist homogeneity.

    Why does oppression function so well then, that freedom means now oppression of others, and you seem content on maintaining that contradiction? Since when was freedom justified in the oppression of others?

    My problem is I don’t like oppression, but you do!

      Being asked for evidence that anarchism works and then just linking the US Revolution is an absolutely hilarious display of “Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?”.

          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!
