Communism and anarchism aren't scary, they're just shit. Socialism is fine, but most people have their own definition of what that means.
I will not take this bait I will not take this bait......
The "bundle of sticks" analogy has historically been used a lot by fascists. If someone used it to try to convince me, you can be sure it would backfire!
"Well, you see, a single stick can easiky be broken in two, but a bundle of sticks will stand to almost anything!
Now, imagine if you will, that one of those sticks was actually an axe handle..."
"... used to prosecute minorities."
I completely get this.
I have one friend who agrees with everything I say, but as soon as I say any word that falls into the category of "bad thing" (as determined by his facebook feed), he disagrees.
Of course he does. Bad thing is bad.
Honestly, I've been there, too. I read Graeber before realizing he was an anarchist. When I realized, it still took a while to embrace the ideology. I wouldn't have read him in the first place if I knew beforehand. Same with internet "celebrities"
