  • Thank you for the quick reply!

    I wouldn’t want to join to be outspokenly against anything and I understand the necessity for party unity. It absolutely makes perfect sense that disagreement should be handled internally and decided upon within the party.

    But here is where I differ. I cannot bring myself to believe in a system where there is any centralized authority or hierarchy. To me it flies in the face of freedom and liberation. However, and I may be making the mistakes of the CNT/FAI, Makhno, etc…, I also believe that we must collaborate and coordinate to move toward a state-less society.

    I’d love to discuss it with you. I am always open to discussion, reading, etc…


  • I’ve been looking at the PSL for a while now, but I am an anarcho-syndicalist and am not sure how I would be received. I WHOLLY believe that there has to be unity on the left, and I agree with a lot of ML thought, I just don’t even know if I would be an acceptable candidate to join.

    I guess that’s to say: Do you know their thoughts on anarchists and having anarchists working within their org?





  • Oh! I’m actually somewhat decent with some useful things. I got sent to a wilderness school for fuck up kids when I was a teen. So I know how to, and have applied a lot of survival stuff.

    I know how to effectively make a somewhat permanent shelter. I can make and use a bow drill to make fire, and along the same principal but with much more effort and time I could make fire with hand drill or fire plough techniques. I know how to make basic traps. I can make cordage, and have very, very very basic tracking skills. I know some edible and toxic plants in my area (not exhaustive by any means). I know how to clean and dress game. There’s a lot of other stuff, but those popped into my head immediately.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve done all this, but the knowledge and know-how is all there. I’d actually be a decent person to have around!


  • I quit heroin and other heavy opioids just before fentanyl really hit the streets. Quit cold turkey after losing a few friends and realizing that I could get a bag cut with fent and die, and I couldn’t do that to my siblings; they’re a lot younger than me and really idolized me at the time.

    When I was well enough to get to a store without shitting myself or throwing up bile everywhere, I went and bought a handle(1.75l) of the cheapest vodka I could. I continued that every day until 4 years ago.

    I have cirrhosis, and my liver could shit the bed at any time, but I’m alive and I’m clean (for the most part) and sober. I work in recovery and am working to become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor now.

    I quit smoking about 6 months ago. I went to the store, didn’t have quite enough for a pack, and just haven’t bought another. Tobacco has been the hardest for me by far. Alcohol withdrawal almost killed me - I had to be hospitalized for near a month - but I was on high doses of benzodiazepines so I don’t remember much of it. The cravings for a cigarette are intense. They’ve gotten better zand they will continue to do so, but damn, it’s rough.

    That’s an interesting take. I love Cattle Decapitation’s old stuff but their newer stuff never really grabbed me.

    Either way, to each their own. Cattle Decapitation is amazing either way!

    Edit: I didn’t see that you specified “more approachable”. You’re 100% correct in that. It’s 5am here, sorry.
