Foundations and Beliefs
Tenets
According to insurrectionary anarchists, structure of anarchist groups should be:
- informal - without legal status, without big scale organization
- voluntary - without obligation
They rejects both reform and revolution.
Theory/Belief 1
Insurrectionary anarchists do not believe a set of tactics, rather, they believe in the emphasizing of insurrection as a primary tactic and a never ending revolution, broadly. In a more complex analysis of the philosophy, it is a negation and attack on the social order of other anarchists, such as countries, capitalism, and the concept of revolution.

Friends
Post-Left Anarchism - You taught us not to take things too seriously.
Anarcho-Communism - You taught us what to fight for, even if you are a filthy compromiser and moralist at times and their action is only insulting conservatives on twitter.
Anarcho-Collectivism;
Mutualism;
Social Anarchism and other left-wing anarchists - Same as above. Cool down with this organization ok?
Illegalism - You taught us to have fun. Just don't corrupt your idea.
Queer Anarchism and
Anarcha-Feminism - The TQILA is based.
Anarcho-Egoism - Taught us that insurrection is preferable to revolution.
Anarcho-Nihilism - Except fighting government we fight also against whole organized society, social norms and institutions, And we both like Joker and Fight Club.
Soulism - "Trade deal: You gave me blueprints of ultra-tech weapons with explosives, while I gave you protection and free drugs every time you want it."
Frenemies
Platformism - Too much organization, the platform is basically a party. If your federation becomes like a state, you will be next to overthrow. Still I respect Makhnovia somewhat.
Ego-Communism - Put away long boring books and pick up the gun.
Anti-Fascism - While we may not completely agree on ideology, he is always my best buddy in riots! Just purge your movement from all tankies and SJWs.
Democratic Confederalism - Blowing up cops is based, but quit calling me a lifestylist! And embrace true anarchy, not cringe bookchinesque bullshit.
Philosophical Anarchism - Why do you hate me, great grandpa?
Agorism - Different methods but we trade weapons. Accept fact that we need some kind of violence if we want to smash the state, and your security syndicates will not work.
Anarcho-Syndicalism - Peaceful general strike is pathetic, and syndicalism was not conducive to insurrection. Grow spine and stop cooperating with your torturers.
Revolutionary Progressivism - People often misrepresent you and use you as a strawman against twitter liberals which while sometimes correct, frankly you don't seem THAT bad and have some decent ideas and tactics. But like the left-anarchists, you're too moralistic and even at times too authoritarian. Liking Goldman and Czolgosz is good, but don't defend totalitarian psychopaths like Mao, Hoxha, Robespierre and Lenin because you will be next after these AuthCap politicians. And sometimes, like stated earlier, you really are just an annoying moralist that needs to speak to the barrel of my AK.
Anarcho-Pacifism - How will you get anything done without violence? But you are harmless at least.

Ochlocracy - No, this isn't insurrection. Fuck off before we will shoot all your oppressive mob.
Trumpism - Yes, we are violent anarchists, what about it? (And no, your supporters on January 6 are not insurrectionary anarchists, regardless of what they think.) Maybe just blow the Capitol up next time instead of prancing around it in Viking hats.

National Capitalism - Same as above but even worse. Destroy your private concentration camps!
