   What does Anarchism mean to you?

     I don't like the incorrect and, quite frankly, abelist portrayal of authoritarian socialists/communists. We understand what anarchism is (our preception is more similar to the second panel in the middle). We just disagree with anarchist ideologies because they are idealistic and impractical.

     Well, you're wrong. Maybe not all, but many authoritarian socialists have an accurate understanding of what modern anarchism is. Many authoritarian socialists are well aware that Anarchism both has methods of organization and has worked at achieving a few things in history. We also recognize that Anarchism is a remnant of, and currently is a part of, utopian socialism.

     @Radical_EgoCom It neither portrays ableism nor does it portray specifically socialist authoritarians, it says "auths say", I would agree with you that it's wrong as that's mostly the definition given by right wing authoritarians, not left wing ones, I specified that it's not my meme for this very reason. As for your argument I disagree that left wing authoritarians understand what Anarchism is as a modern ideology, many Marxists simply view it as the remnant of utopian socialism, they do not acknowledge that Anarchist tactics do and have worked in history and that we have methods of organization.
