The reason why people think anarchists only want to break shit and hurt people is because all anarchist movements outside of insurrectionary tactics have been sterilized of mentions of anarchism, or are completely ignored. Some of these include:

• Anarchists had a huge part in the labor movement and continue to fight for workers rights to this day. 
• Anarchists have been heavily involved in anti-war movements. 
• Anarchists have been heavily involved in movements against racism. 
• Anarchists have been heavily involved in the fight for the liberation of women and LGBT people. 
• Anarchists do a fuckload of community service in associations like Food Not Bombs, where we use perfectly good produce and other food that would otherwise be wasted by supermarkets to make meals and feed the community for free. 
• Anarchists put on music and film festivals.
• Anarchists run animal shelters and take part in animal liberation movements.
• Anarchists run healthcare, daycare, and other workers collectives. 
• Anarchists have legal support and fundraising organizations which reach out to people who have been incarcerated by the state, providing means of contact and for people to write letters to prisoners. 

But y’all don’t hear about that, because maybe people would actually agree with us if they knew what we were actually about.

Funny how that is. 

Anarchists legit help women get access to safe abortions in places where it’s illegal
