Why are you an anarchist? (piefed.zip)

Hey all, I'm hoping this is the right comm for this kind of post. I'm really interested what brought my fellow lemmings to anarchism (or just radical politics in general). Was is a youtube video? A book? A conversation IRL or on the internet? For me personally it was a friend IRL who introduced me to an local anarchist collective.

I never thought of myself as an anarchist, I still don't I guess, but after reading about the topic, I realize the term fit me perfectly.

But, what made me the way I am, are lots of books and growing up in an environment where I was taught to think and analyse.

I hear that a lot. I noticed often people who I share the same views with either hated school but loved learning or were taught well at home and end up developing left-leaning views. Education is so important and it makes me sad that so many young people end up hating school and in turn hating education and learning.
