My personal observation about anarchism (lemmy.world)

I have noticed that largely most anarchists online are from the first world and that anarchism is very popular than communism in western countries, i.e. its become overtly a first world white people ideology.

While marxism leninism is popular in the third world, with large marxist leninist parties and non existing anarchist forces. What do you think about this?

As QinShiHuangsSchlong pointed out, the Zapatistas explicitly reject anarchist labeling. You can point to them for their horizontalism (at the same time, they have hierarchy and centralization), but they are primarily an indigenous led movement with their own, original ideology. They see labeling them as "anarchists" as the imposition of western framing on their distinctly indigenous movement.

I explicitly did not name the zapatistas. But you are correct there are different aspects to their movement, with the peasant communities being more horizontal, and the EZLN being more hierarchical.
