Probably Anarchy. Like, the political philosophy.
Andrewism on YouTube is doing so much to make a compelling case for it. But it's a real bummer when you get a group of anarchists together and go, 'Damn, hanging out with these people makes me want to implement some rules and structure so we can get things done. This group is totally leaderless and directionless. I'm gonna go see what the socialists are up to.'
It's sad. In my experience, no one ruins anarchism more than anarchists.
I feel like most self-proclaimed anarchists have very little interest in the political philosophy aspect of it. Which is a shame, because it's really far better than its reputation.
It honestly feels almost every political community either turns into a charity or legit local non-profit org that does something and maybe even something useful once the narcissists are ousted or a book club/discord server.
