From the r/postleftanarchism sidebar:

1) The Left

• critiquing the Left as an nebulous, anachronistic, distracting, a failure, and at key points a counterproductive force historically (“the left-wing of capital”)

• critiquing Leftist activists for political careerism, celebrity culture, self-righteousness, privileged vanguardism, and martyrdom

• critiquing the tendency of Leftists to insulate themselves in academia, scenes, and cliques while also attempting to opportunistically manage struggles

2) Ideology

• a Stirner-esque critique of dogma and ideological thinking as a distinct phenomenon in favor of “critical self-theory” at individual and communal levels

3) Morality

• a moral nihilist critique of morality / reified values / moralism

4) Organizationalism

• critiquing permanent, formal, mass, mediated, rigid, growth-focused modes of organization in favor of temporary, informal, direct, spontaneous, intimate forms of relation

• critiquing Leftist organizational patterns’ tendencies toward managerialism, reductionism, professionalism, substitutionism, and ideology

• critiquing the tendencies of unions and Leftist organizations to mimic political parties, acting as racketeers/mediators, with cadre-based hierarchies of theoretician & militant or intellectual & grunt, defailting toward institutionalization, and ritualizing a meeting-voting-recruiting-marching pattern

5) Identity Politics

• critiquing identity politics insofar as it preserves victimization-enabled identities and social roles (i.e. affirming rather than negating gender, class, etc.) and inflicts guilt-induced paralysis, amongst others

• critiquing single-issue campaigns or orientations

6) Values

• moving beyond anarchISM as a static historical praxis into anarchY as a living praxis

• focussing on daily life and the intersectionality thereof rather than dialectics / totalizing narratives (except anarcho-primitivists tend toward epistemology)

• emphasizing personal autonomy and a rejection of work (as forced labor, alienated labor, workplace-centricity)

• critiquing Enlightenment notions of Cartesian dualities, rationalism, humanism, democracy, utopia, etc.

• critiquing industrial notions of mass society, production, productivity, efficiency, “Progress”, technophilia, civilization (esp. in anti-civilization tendencies)
