If you consider yourself an Anarchist Punk, then you should have no problem telling me who Peter Kropotkin or Mikhail Bakunin is, right?
Without googling his name of course.

What do you think Anarchism is?
Are you Capitalist?, Communist?, Syndicalist?, Collectivist?, Individualist?, Primitivist?
And why, did you actually read books about it? or did you decide due to Dead Kennedy’s lyrics?
Tell me what what you think anarchism is?

I’m not an anarchist, I’m more of a Libertarian, but if you were a real anarchist activist, you would be out of the streets organizing, not typing away on yahoo.

I ask because I see a lot of people on here talking about bands on youtube, who use the (A) on the screen and claim to be anarchists.
Not everybody who listens to punk should be a scholar in anarchist philosophy, but anybody who claims to be an anarchist, educated enough to understand it, should have some basic knowledge on it.

If you like the music then whatever, but don’t just be some kid who spends too much time on the internet, reads some discharge lyrics and claim to to an anarchist and member of ANTIFA.
I get out plenty
Thank you for your concern.

I’m an anarcho-communist, but I don’t particularly care for punk music. At all, actually.

It’s rather amusing (it a bittersweet way), though, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing several of the "anarchists" you describe. They have no concept of the core philosophies and aims of anarchism, the most extensive reading that’s taken place pertained to a CD booklet or two, I’ve yet to have even ONE of them claim to understand what the First International was, and all they really want is to blow sh!t up. It effectively gives the powers that be all the material they need to convince the public that anarchists are insane, belligerent, unorganized, violent terrorists who have no goal but destruction. It’s all rather depressing.

Classic collection by the individualist anarchist Benjamin Tucker, now available in full on-line here:

http://fair-use.org/benjamin-tucker/instead-of-a-book/

Covers arguments against statism and in favor of anarchism, the difference between state socialism and anarchism (also why anarchism, including individualist anarchism, is a form of socialism), the nature of capitalism and why anarchists oppose it, individualist arguments against anarchist communism, methods of bringing about an anarchist society, and so on. Must reading for all anti-authoritarians and libertarians.

It’s an anthology. Most of the essays and letters stand or fall on their own. Few of the arguments extend over more than two successive selections, and often two selections make the same argument.

Even when Tucker is wrong – and we may disagree about which claims are right and which are wrong – the vast majority of his arguments force an opponent to think to address his proposal or his objection.

I haven’t read the whole work, but so far the writing is sharp and clear, and many selections are worth reading on their own.

OK, so where does Islamism fit in it? Or anarcho-capitalism? Individualist anarchism?

It’s time another method of cataloguing political ideologies was devised, no?

Mainstream parties (Labour/Tory)are now so blurred on the left-right spectrum that it doesn’t have any meaning. However, we do still have far right (BNP, NF, English First Party, National "Democrats", etc) and far left fringe parties (Communist Party of Britain, Socialist Party, etc).
Then we have the Green Party, UKIP, Christian Voice, etc.
And of course Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have a few that deal with nationalist issues.
