Feeding the poor and helping others is not “good PR” for anarchism or anarchists. Feeding the poor and helping others IS anarchism, fundamentally. I’ve been thinking about this, and I think this is important for both anarchists and non-anarchists to understand. We aren’t using these opportunities to spread our ideology, or manipulate you into agreeing with us. We aren’t a political party trying to win your support. Mutual aid is a fundemental part of what being an anarchist means.
