Unfortunately. I was their youngest member! Got outta there as soon as I joined the dots though.

Turns out, not all anarchist groups are who they say they are.

When one person funds the whole operation, is the landlord instead of member ownership, is the member who determines if you know enough theory to join, is the only member proposing rules and sabotages members who vote against those rules, there's a high chance they're not anarchists. It's a cult of personality based around a façade of ideology. Those who flatter dear leader are given enough freedom to think there's no hierarchy, but as soon as they challenge the leader that hierarchy quickly gets brought into play. There was a high turnover of people, as we each woke up to the deception, only a handful of sycophants remained long term.

I'm still an anarchist, one liar and their sycophants hasn't put me off that idea. In fact I know more about political theory now than I did back then and am even more for it. But I'm far more critical of self labeled organisations now. Just because a group/person says they're something doesn't necessarily mean they are. Even if they put up a really good façade.
