Well I've participated in printing, collating, and handing out zines, so I'm basically already marching the streets calling for public hangings of politicians and good God fearing straight white Christian famnuclear families, as far as some political parties are concerned.

I think it's hilarious how often people around me share anarchist opinions and viewpoints, yet cringe when they hear the A word.

Maybe Anarchism needs a temporary rebrand for the people who have been indoctrinated to fear it, and then when they least expect it...

Surprise!

Ok, hear me out.

We call it the Unicorn Party. We support others with mutual aid, we want the world to be a better and more magical place, we find no value in money, and the horn is great for poking holes in nazis. I'm flexible on the wording, but I really think aerating nazis should be in there.

How does "horizontalism" sound?

Much better, tbh. I think it better expresses what the future goal is, rather than the immediate one. People often imagine pure or total anarchism when they hear the "dreaded A-word," and it doesn't imply what happens after, but horizontalism implies a continuing goal without the baggage of colloquial misunderstanding.
