Anarchism

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

Compulsory education would violate anarchist principles.

Yes I am, but not as a first step. I think that a certain basis of other things need to be available as to not leave vulnerable groups and kids without proper education.

I agree! I think unschooling should first be allowed and the focus of educational policy should shift from providing an education to providing conditions for it to be a possibility for more people. That is a big ask, though, and I don't have faith in the establishment working to disintegrate itself. I think a gradual development of federated grassroots "learning co-ops" is a better and more actionable immediate goal for people interested in a de-institutionalized education and society.

Sounds good, what would be the first steps to work towards this?

Compulsory education arrived with industrialization. If children are in the school their parents can be working in the factory.

Or children can be in factory too

That's not education though
