⭐ Hey #MutualAid community,

🧩 I have autism and struggle with social anxiety, so I’m reaching out today for a bit of mutual aid, if you’re able, please give this post a boost.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 It’s a small ask, but I’m working on accepting my social anxiety, and your support would mean a lot and could help me find new friends nearby to overcome my social anxiety, heal, and feel more comfortable socializing.

🇳🇴 I’m based in Bergen, Norway, with interests in Anarchism, particularly anarcho-syndicalism, as well as free software and Linux.

💙 Thank you so much!

I have #autism and can be very shy around new people and friends. Please be welcoming and patient with me as I try to better understand these ideas and connect with the local community here in #Bergen, #Norway.

I want to learn and get involved, but sometimes my autism makes social situations challenging. Your support will help me feel more comfortable and confident in exploring these ideas together.

Continued thread

If you live in #Bergen, #Norway, and share anarchist ideas like mutual aid, community building, collectivism, or federalism, feel free to reach out.

You can contact me on Signal at @pmarg.01 or email me through my website at midtsveen.github.io.

Collaborating can strengthen our efforts to create self-governing spaces without bosses or profit-driven hierarchies.

I'm interested in federalism, mutual aid networks, and self-governing communities where people make things based on what’s actually needed, not just profit.

I know I should get more involved locally instead of just reading articles on The Anarchist Library. I feel guilty for spending so much time reading instead of actually helping my community, though my autism can make it harder to take action.

Ideally, I believe communities should be run by and for workers themselves, through direct democracy and federated unions, without bosses, managers, or profit-driven hierarchies.

I don’t support Kim Jong Un, Putin, Trump, or any modern authoritarian leaders, whether they call themselves fascist, communist, or anything else.

History keeps showing us how authoritarianism destroys lives. Vanguardism is a scam. Russian anarchists were betrayed during the revolution. The Bolsheviks promised freedom but created a one-party dictatorship instead. They took control of the media, the economy, even people’s basic needs, and crushed dissent.

Anarchism proves we don’t need rulers. We can organize ourselves through grassroots, democratic unions where power flows from the bottom up. No bosses. No politicians. Just people working together as equals.

Solidarity forever.

"Closer observation, however, reveals that these institutions [so-called "workers' parties"] have less to do with a movement in the truest sense of the word than with the regulation and disciplining of the workers’ movement to the benefit of private or state investors of capital."

I guess it’s obvious I’m an anarchist, given my interest in autonomous collectives and democratic, bottom-up unions.

I advocate for abolishing the state as we know it, and the more I micro-blog about it online, the more it sparks real-life conversations.

Again, if you disagree, move on. Build new connections instead of clinging to the same person who’s now a committed Anarcho-syndicalist.
