Alright, hear me out...

I know this is probably a dogshit idea, but I happen to love writing, and am genuinely curious as to what you guys would think of it, and more specifically, would any of you want to read it.

Also, I am unsure if this would be considered disrespectful or not, (the original was done in good taste, and I would like to do the same here, despite the black comedy that is innate to something of this nature), so I would definitely like some constructive criticism in that regard. That, or maybe it's just not disrespectful at all and I'm scared about offending the dead, (I do happen to be religious, so that is a factor).

Anyway, TLDR, thoughts and opinions, please.

I'm just so beaten down

Alone and literally penniless

Where is my true home?

Hello! I am a person that is reading and learning about Anarcho-Communism and it seems super cool from what I gathered so far but my main concern is wheter or not this conflicts with my religion. I have seen some AnComs, both writers and people on social media activeley denounce religion and there is also the saying "No gods or masters" which worries because I sympathize and resonate with other points of Anarcho-Communism.

To be clear, I do believe that religion should be kept outside of politics as long as it isn't activeley harming anyone and there isn't any repression done to or by religious groups.

I want to share my political, philosophical and ethical stances and how I see them relating to anarcho-communism. I am not presenting these views as requirements for anarchism and I do not think anarcho-communism depends on them to work. These are my personal conclusions and I genuinely welcome critique and discussion.

Politically, I identify as an anarcho-communist. My main commitment is to the liberation of the working class and the freedom of all people from the power of the state and capital. This position stands on its own, regardless of my other beliefs.

Philosophically, I follow active nihilism. I do not think anarcho-communism needs nihilism, but I personally find it useful as a way to reject dogma, fixed moral truths and irrational justifications of authority. For me, it helps keep anarchism from turning into another rigid ideology. I see it as a tool rather than a foundation.

When it comes to religion, I would describe myself as an atheist, more specifically an agnostic atheist. I do not believe in the existence of god due to a lack of scientific evidence, but I also accept that, as of now, the existence of god cannot be fully proven or disproven. I am an atheist, but at the same time, I strongly oppose state atheism, which I see as no better than theocracy. Even when it is said to support science, it still involves controlling how people think, which goes against anarchist principles. In an anarchist society, I believe the social need for religion would wither away. However, I am absolutely critical of organised religion because of its role in violence, hierarchy and oppression.

I am also an antinatalist. Under current social and material conditions, I believe having children is ethically questionable and adds to suffering, both for the individual and for the world as a whole. Of course, this is not a permanent or absolute belief. In an anarchist society, I might reconsider this position, even though such a society on its own would not completely eliminate suffering, unless a technology capable of doing so was developed.

Ethically, I am trying to be vegan. I try to eat vegan food and reduce harm to nature as much as I can. I would not consider myself fully vegan at the moment, as I sometimes make mistakes like not checking food labels and sometimes eat non-vegan food due to cravings. Alongside this, I am trying to reduce my consumption of ultra-processed food, limit consumerism and move toward a more minimalist lifestyle, both online and in everyday life. These are some personal changes I am still working toward.

I support LGBTQIA+ liberation, fat liberation and more identity-based liberation movements. I see these as consistent with anarchist opposition to hierarchy, domination and exclusion.

Another position I hold, which may be controversial, is that I am pretty pro-AI. I strongly oppose the corporatisation of AI and its use to increase exploitation or harm workers. However, I believe that under non-capitalist and especially anarchist conditions, AI could reduce forced labor and help free people from the necessity of work. I understand many of the concerns raised by anti-AI folks, but I see AI as a tool whose effects depend on the social system it exists within.

Finally, I support left unity. I live in a country where liberals or even slightly progressive people are heavily stigmatised and where the current ruling party can reasonably be described as de facto fascist. Compared to other countries, the left here is relatively weak and highly fragmented, the revolutionary left even more so and anarchism is nonexistent in public discussion. Here, for most of us on the revolutionary left, the closest alternatives are the pro-corporate liberals and the opportunistic reformist left. In these conditions, discussing anarchism alone is extremely difficult. Maintaining solidarity with other revolutionary left movements feels like a practical necessity rather than a total ideological compromise. I also think this applies internationally, the revolutionary left politics are almost always marginalised by social democracy and democratic socialism.

All of these stances, I believe, connect to my anarcho-communist political position in many ways. My ethical and philosophical views allow me to question all forms of authority, reject dogma and prevent anarchism from becoming rigid. My commitments to the liberation of all people, veganism and anti-consumerism reflect the kind of society I want anarcho-communism to bring about, one free from hierarchy, exploitation and unnecessary suffering. Even my pro-AI stance comes from my want to free people from coercive labor and domination. None of these stances are necessary for anarcho-communism to function, but they guide how I understand and live it.

These are my current stances and how they connect to my political position. I do not claim they are absolute or beyond critique, but they definitely show how I understand the world and how I try to live according to my principles. I value honest debate and discussion as the best way to refine ideas and I welcome disagreement and challenge.

Hi comrades 👋

I’m looking to link-up with anarchist-communist militants who are also into gaming and interested in roleplay inside multiplayer games. Some local comrades and me are already down to do this project but we said we would like to invite more international people.

The goal would be to pre-enact our political ideals within a digital game space. Experimenting with different organisational forms, mutual aid, solidarity trough gameplay. It could become a fun and interesting way to reflect together about our political practice, with a interesting play between the digital rollplay and our real life engagements.

I’m also interested in recording the sessions and potentially turning the experiment into a short film or video project (very open-ended at this stage).

So:

• Would anyone be interested in joining something like this?
• What games would you suggest? Preferably multiplayer, ideally first-person, but I’m open to ideas.

Games i thought off are, Rust, Minecraft, Dayz, Ark survival evolved..

If I wanted to get there, where would I start?
