  • I think propaganda is more than just convincing people. Its also describes a way of acting and a relationship between the one(s) doing propaganda and the one(s) being (not) influenced/convinced by it.

    From my anarchist perspective propaganda as a tool is not really desirable in achieving my vision of anarchism because instead of building trusting realtionships between equals, it kinda opens up a divide between the propagandists and the others without really enabling a dialogue or discussion. Of course in reality its not this much of a binary (and I can see others having a different understanding of the term propaganda), but I think it would be still preferable to choose ways of convincing others that actually build those relationships.




  • Well in the best case the participants of the revolt already have a clear framework of actions for these kind of situations. So we would just follow those. Examples might be things like “never make deals with the state” or “prefer peaceful solutions” etc.

    If not, this would be a really good point to start doing this as a community via meetings and discussions. And from the sounds of it, the opponent is willing to give us that time via a ceasefire etc.

    Personally, looking at the stae of the world right now, I would think a ceasefire would be benificial to to our side because we could rally global solidarity and invite folks to live on our land and in this way raising our collective power.
