Anark discusses his journey to anarchism, some of the key events in his political radicalization, and realizations along the way.
Daniel Baryon is better known online as Anark, a YouTuber who aims to explore the philosophical foundations of leftist ideas, especially those of the anarchist and libertarian-socialist variety.
He believes that power structures inherently “tend towards the maintenance of themselves at the expense of those over which they hold power,” and so they “must be held accountable to their subjects,” but that this requires “true democratic control.” Thus, “all power structures should be flattened in order to maintain their accountability to the masses.
Daniel’s works for social revolution, and has written about ‘Constructing the Revolution’ at The Anarchist Library.
