Hey all, I'm hoping this is the right comm for this kind of post. I'm really interested what brought my fellow lemmings to anarchism (or just radical politics in general). Was is a youtube video? A book? A conversation IRL or on the internet? For me personally it was a friend IRL who introduced me to an local anarchist collective.

Because the institutions that had the will and power to create the hierarchies that rule society got that power by stepping on heads and fucking over anyone who got in their way. It's why things only work in favor of a tiny number of people, and exposing that truth to the largest number of people possible seems like one of the only ways to rectify the issue.
