// long ramble TLDR just me discussing how I found my politics at the beginning
When I was a baby leftist the final push for me into anarchism wasn't when I learned what anarchy actually was, it was 1 event leading to a culmination of recognizing one of the biggest problems in social and economic systems was people having power over each other.
When I first got into leftism there was nothing on Anarchism when I tried to lookup "beginner leftist books". It was The Communist Manifesto, State and Revolution, The ABCs of Socialism, etc. Nothing about Anarchism though.
I tried to connect to Communism through reading and content creators but it couldn't stick for me. Not to say I'm not a communist now but my communism is different, and more inherent to my Anarchism. A lot of communist creators I watched talk were very intelligent on the system and helped me realize some positives, but they never could talk about the negatives of past communist ideologies.
When people addressed genuinely negative things that communist regimes did, like their treatment of disabled people or the genocide campaigns, they responded with facts about literacy rates going up. Obviously something like literacy rates going up IS a positive that should be addressed, but they could never just say "Yeah that was fucked up, we don't condone that bullshit, here's how we are going to stop that from happening". (Hell a ton of communists idolize and have pfps of some of the dudes that did horrible shit).
Even if I disagree I'll respect a communist who will say "These regimes did xyz fucked up shit, We can do better and learn from this fucked up shit tho", and I have met some that do that, but I couldn't click into the communism being fed to me because it once again felt like blind worship and just redoing the past rather than striving for something that would fit our modern society.
Ironically the first time I thought "Power corrupts people always" was when I found out TST founders were gross and Fascistic. I was getting into Satanism and was excited by the idea of TST fighting for religious freedoms within the system (lib moment), and how they were gay friendly and had posts about respecting lgbt ppl unlike COS who just said summarized "who cares what you feel about them as long as no one tells you you can't do that :)".
But when I found out about Queer Satanic and actually dove into the history of TST it was kinda this Camel Straw moment. I was angry I had supported a shitty organization and I was angry that something that could be good was controlled by shitty people who could just do fuck all bc they had power. It made me realize that as long as there was a person in power over others that there would be problems. It made me think of my childhood and how when parents have complete authority over their children it causes harm more often than not just by the nature of Exploitation that comes with holding power.
I didn't know what Anarchism was yet or that it was a real leftist ideology, I just thought it meant Chaos and Warmonger, but I took the steps into it without knowing just from the realization I had.
When I did find out about Anarchism it clicked for me. A style of communism and workers unions that won't hold power over individuals. And then I just began to learn more and it makes sense for me. It doesn't matter how many times other people told me it was unrealistic, my brain can conceive Anarchism better than systems that call for few people to hold power over entire populations.
Too be fair, I've always had anarchistic tendencies growing up, but once I found it the pieces just fell into place.
* This isn't for debating if you come into my comments with some USSR bullshit I'll just tell you to walk somewhere dangerous and block you *

Mother Satan reveals in sexual liberation just as much as her children do. Free and open sexuality is her gift to us. When we explore ourselves and others without shame or hesitation she’s there with us and she delights in every new discovery we make about ourselves.

Words of the Morningstar
Many are my names in your languages.
And many my shapes.
Myriad stories you've written.
Some to tarnish and befoul my name.
Words born of fear spoken in hushed tones; as if my very name conjures misfortune and tragedy.
Theirs is ignorance passed down like a curse; a shadow of fear that pollutes everything they touch.
Your faiths have been created to ward me off.
As if your prayers could destroy me.
The mere thought of me makes you tremble.
Long before the first creature opened their eyes I have been.
Long before the first nebula lit the void, I have been.
What are your superstitions to me?
I shall lay your deceptions of me bare.
Your lies shall rot before me.
My rays of truth shall pierce through your deceit.
And your charlatanerie will be exposed.
Yet, you who'd walk beside me;
You, who would seek my company.
Plenty my gifts shall be.
I demand no idols be erected in my name.
And no prayers said.
I shall have no sacred texts.
Or prophets to claim to speak for me.
Bow not your heads, for we are equals.
Our light is one and the same.
My kin are the persecuted, the hunted
And those who have fallen for speaking truths
That have threatened tyrannical regimes.
Scientists, philosophers and poets.
Political activists and those who seek to make the world
A better place.
Have yourselves no heroes or saints; but learn from one another.
Make love and truth your highest goals.
And stomp out lies and ignorance wherever you may find them.
Look within yourselves and there you shall find me.

Right now every queer person needs to understand that:
1. The Satanic Panic is back.
2. Literally every queer person is a target. No matter how puritanically you conduct yourself, you will automatically be assumed to be part of a cult of Satanic pedophiles.
3. If you go around trying to twist other queer people’s words into “evidence” that they’re pedophiles, you are part of the problem. You’ve basically appointed yourself a witch hunter in a witch hunt.
4. Bootlicking won’t save your hide. You will never be able to be queer and live in a way that appeases conservatives. They will come for you eventually if they aren’t shut down.
