Well, i think the "fear" of communism is for some just a skeptical position towards any kind of collectivism, towards any kind of ideology. Individualists still exist you know. To be honest, im kinda tired of being seen as a social enemy as soon as a skepticial position towards collectivism is taken. Really communism is just a theory, its just a word. Politics is just a game. Replies like the above and is just ego games, a desire to show that you know more, understand more, just bla bla bla.
Yes, I am intimidated by the development towards collectivism as a free individual. So what? Anarchist do not have "one place" in society, it is not to decide for anybody what there place is.
Also, it is very arrogant to think that because people are not part of some niche activist incrowd they do not have their place in society. Such arrogant blindness. Let's be honest, i'm pretty sure it's the other way around. I'm pretty sure most anarchists (and communists and activists) end up in that scene because they can not maintain a place in mainstream society. Come on, isnt this clear to everyone who is part of this scene and not an adolescent anymore? Anarchism in the Netherlands was once a real thing obviously, but it's been a sad joke for a long long time. Also, i'm sure there are more so called liberals who have actually read Marx and take the good parts of his analysis seriously (and other political theory) than the typical Indymedia visitor.
