Comrade Spood

I think overall good video. However I don’t like how she conflates right wing “libertarianism” and “crypto-anarchists” with anarchism with anarchism.

Genuinely, fuck off fash. A broken clock is right twice a day. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna recommend it to anyone. Belongs in the trash like all the other fascist and reactionary shit.

Its an insanely problematic text with some good points. There are actual anarchist writings that take the few good ideas Ted had and ditches all the problematic stuff. Anyone who says the Unabomber Manifesto is there favorite or similar is a huge red flag. It should not be compared to anarchist ideology. This is not a separate the art from the artist situation because Ted’s shittiness is baked deep into the art itself. I also caution against anarcho-primitivist writings and ideology (the closest anarchist ideology to the Unabomber’s) because those that believe that society at large should be anarcho-primitivist is insanely ableist (because without modern medicine and technology a lot of disabled people would either die or live painful lives). Anarcho-primitivists who just want to practice it individually are fine though.
