DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM LEADERSHIP!
Even, and perhaps especially, the informal kind.
We're all accountable.
Don't buy it.
It's not for sale.
the anarchist movement is these people's personal, private property.
they answer to no one.
they answer to no one.
That's right. The anarchist movement belongs to anarchists, and not to anyone else. Anarchists decide what it will do next, not you. So give it up, already. You're wasting your time.
And you are not its official spokesperson.
You can only speak for a very small number of those you are directly involved with, yet you persist in dominating any thread that even mentions the word anarchy as if your take on it is THE ONE TRUE perspective. FYI, it's not.
Enough already. Stop taking up all of the anarchism air. Let others breathe for once, you showboat. Yeesh.

I never said I was. Stop putting words into my mouth. It's rude. It's dishonest. It's very bad form.
>You can only speak for a very small number of those you are directly involved with
Unless and except when I have been specifically delegated to speak for others, I can only speak for myself. I can speak *about* anything I d*mn well please. Where people speak about anarchism, I speak about that. So can any anarchist. So should we all. If that bothers you, too bad. It's our concern, not yours. We don't answer to you. Get used to it.
>you persist in dominating any thread that even mentions the word anarchy as if your take on it is THE ONE TRUE perspective.
The "as if" here begs the question, i.e., it's bunk logic. I do not "dominate" any thread. I participate, as can any anarchist. Some do. Some don't. If that bothers you, too bad.
What anarchists do is in accordance with our will and ours alone. We don't even take orders from each other. We are certainly not going to take them from you. That's how it is.
So, no, I will *not* shut up and let you bad mouth anarchists and anarchism without fear of reply, nor should I, nor should any anarchist afforded an opportunity to defend our cause and our movement from the lies and bunk logic of those who would disparage us. If you were paying closer attention, you'd know that by now. Give up, already. It's not going to happen.

Anarchists will:
* make decisions that affect you, without consulting you.
* make claims on your time/space/energy, and then trash you.
* leave you holding the bag when things get heavy.
Just like anyone else, you say? That's absolutely right. Except, other people don't deny the leadership component in these kinds of things. At least elsewhere, you have some place to appeal.
Just try to appeal anarchist decision-making.
"We're all accountable," in practice, means that you are accountable for someone else's behavior. You will not, however, be involved in others' decision-making (unless, of course, you're cool enough).
The worst abusers of process, generally speaking, are those who insist such problems don't exist.
Caveat emptor.

None of these things are true. If they were, proof could be presented. it's lack betrays them for the unsubstantiated allegations that they are.
>Just try to appeal anarchist decision-making.
Decisions are made by the people they impact. They are nobody else's business, least of all those who troll for intelligence. This line of questioning is as much a transparent attempt to elicit intelligence about anarchist activities, as it is anti-anarchist propaganda. It's not working. Why not? Because we're heard it before. We've been doing this for a very long time. We've heard it all before. Fortunately, we've finally begun to learn from our mistakes. Loose lips link ships. The walls have ears. If you need to know something, you will know it. If you are not involved in a project or action, you don't need to know the decisions that make it happen. If you are involved, you already know because those decisions are part yours.

And if they wont shut up about it, call them police agents!
Look, if you're infiltrated, no one has to ask you questions. If not, and they want to, they will. Look-- this call (see original post) is posted on a known-monitored, public site, asking people to volunteer to join. And the secret police are awash in secret money and secret powers right now.
Really, what could be easier. There are no secrets, just people who wish there were, and the deluded. If you don't say, then only you and the feds really know. I mean, they can take your picture from a satellite. Don't delude yourselves that you are or can be secure in this society! What a dangerous mistake to make!
On the other hand, this "who's the agent" paranoia game has destroyed many a group. Some people even enjoy it by now. Also and perhaps just incidentally, what a great excuse for leadership never having to be accountable. They just cover it up with "we're all leaders," and if that doesn't shut you up, next thing you know, you're a cop.
It doesn't matter so much on an anonymous discussion board. It matters a whole lot, when you're the one facing the felony charge for something the "Farragut Squares" planned.
Demand accountability from leadership! Including, and perhaps particularly, the self-appointed kind.

They lead ya in, but what comes back out of it all?
Demand accountability from self-appointed "radical" leadership.
