My flags are a total disaster, it looks gloriously bad in here, and honestly, I live for that chaotic energy.
I’m so unapologetically gay and proudly gender-fluid, you wouldn’t even believe it.
It's time to organize, no heroes are coming!

The reason I started posting about my love for working is pretty simple: someone told me anarcho-syndicalists are out here “forcing” people to work. Honestly? If that was true, I couldn’t care less.
I post because I genuinely love the idea of collaborating with others, having an actual say in what I do, and shaping my day alongside my fellow workers.
I want to see real democracy and self-management at work, not bosses compelling workers without their consent.
I'm #ActuallyAutistic, and I want to see a worker-controlled community where the labor process isn’t dictated by rigid hierarchies or managers running some Taylorist algorithm. Imagine abolishing those antiquated top-down structures and running things through federated councils, real participatory democracy, not just a suggestion box theater.
My ideal workday would be one where I’ve got agency over what I do because I’m collaborating with comrades in the union, actively practicing collective self-management, and making decisions by consensus (shoutout to all the meeting minutes, voting procedures, and all the Parecon spreadsheets). Work allocation rotates, responsibilities are balanced, and nobody’s stuck optimizing a Gantt chart for someone else’s profit margin.
With rigid hierarchies intact, there’s no meaningful praxis of democracy. It’s always a one-way mirror, decisions handed down, labor alienated, surplus value siphoned off to distant capital. The material outcomes of our work should strengthen our community, not some absentee shareholders whose only connection to our lives is a quarterly earnings call.
Do I enjoy working? Definitely. But in a world built on genuine worker self-management, where we plan, balance, and carry out decisions together, I’d enjoy it just a little bit more.
It just occurred to me to ask: What do Anarcho-Syndicalists do for fun?
#AnarchoSyndicalism #TuckersBalls
Hi! I’m an anarcho-syndicalist, gender-fluid, bisexual, and autistic individual living in Bergen, Norway, and I love Debian and GrapheneOS, and I wanted to reintroduce myself for all the new followers I’ve gotten in the past few weeks.
I like to be clear and specific, so here’s a structured list:
- Activism: Syndicalist (Anarcho-syndicalism)
- Gender: Fluid (changes, not fixed)
- Sexuality: Bisexual (attracted to more than one gender)
- Neurotype: Autistic (diagnosed, not just self-identified)
I also communicate visually in picture format on #Pixelfed.

I have nothing against my boss, but when they make critical decisions that affect my day-to-day life at work and I don't have any real influence over what shapes my workday, I like them less.
I'm not saying life is perfect, but syndicalism has taught me that we don't need rigid hierarchies to run a workplace democratically, by the workers, for the workers, and for their own benefit.
If run democratically, I can shape my own workday and workweek together with my coworkers, and that is what I want to see, a democratically run workplace where no rigid hierarchies exist, and where it is run democratically alongside an anarcho-syndicalist union.

Take a look at my messy desk setup!
There are days when autism feels overwhelming, and I find myself oversharing every thought and feeling that comes to mind.
But then, just as suddenly, my mood can shift. I’ll feel a surge of energy and want to shake things up.
That’s when I dive into my collection of anarchism memes and start posting my latest finds for everyone to enjoy!
We are here, unapologetically autistic and proud, and we refuse to be silenced!
This perfectly captures how my family views me!
