Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

This is an honest question really I'm not trying to make fun of anarchists.

I was just wondering if the typical anarchist outfit (black everything, more punk looking) is required of anarchism or if they just decided to dress like that en masse.

I get the need at protest to become unrecognizable and to cover your face but I have met many anarchists who dressed up like that minus the face cover at other left wing events without police present.

Forget ideology, I only trust people who look like the cool ass teenagers from Chick tracts

Luckily for you, it exists! Though I can't remember where it was, a hexbear comment had a link to it

I mean this in the nicest way:

ok.

I say this because I either dress like I'm about to star in an Italian espresso ad or in an episode of Friends and none of my comrades in the party ever seemed like dressing up a certain way due to ideology.

Most of my socialist have straight up swag. They also have far better jobs than myself as well.

I dress however I want. I don't have a specific style, I just like comfortable clothes.
