While mostly white “leftists” were inventing strategies based on missing analysis, there was an organization in the city doing all of this better: Community Movement Builders.

    It's more disillusionment with organized groups due to a combination of liberal cooption, wrecking, and police disruption. It was a big thing with Occupy 12 years ago - They can't arrest our leaders if we don't have any kind of thing, plus Occupy was totally ideologically incoherent so no one could really agree on a leader. Idk, there are a couple of manifestos about leaderless resistance floating around somewhere.

    I don't think it's a particularly good strategy, but america isn't in a particularly good place for organized action right now.

      I know. I think tarring anarchism by associating it with crypto is disingenuous and wrong. left libertarians and right libertarians have roughly the same relationship as state communists and fascists.
