hello! i am doing a revamp. please check back soon for updates. my views are still similar to what i have here, but with some changes.
puri thought is just some thoughts (in progress) about some stuff from puri, wow! these thoughts tend to be extremely libertarian , but mainly taken from contemporary anarchism, rejecting the dogmatism and moralism of ideology that most of the classical anarchists hold and rejects the "leftist" label. puri thought is also a synthesis of egoist-communism and some anarcho-communization. puri thought has embraced anarchy as something to be applied to everyday life via insurrection , rather than the one of which ideal society is just DYING to be achieved through revolution. here, i will not attempt to build what an "ideal society" would like. fyi, i am not that experienced in philosophy and am mostly looking at the political side of things. i am more than happy to learn more about philosophy, politics, and anything else you throw at me, so. ok, let's get onward towards the page! (:
this page is under construction and my thoughts may slowly but surely change as I write my thoughts. here are my balls (heh), although they are not set and stone:

history
puri thought has been created on 26 April 2023 when I felt like I had a pretty radical change in my thoughts and I'm here to explore myself and my thoughts that are associated with my own exploration. For a long time since I got political, I was a Classical Anarchist who was convinced through reading some theory, while having a resistance to anarchism while gradually becoming more Libertarian.
Now not to dump Classical Anarchism completely, but I feel like that many of the Anarchists in the online community have been very dogmatic even though some of its theory aren't.
In fact, some classical anarchist thinkers like Errico Malatesta had useful thoughts about Anarchy, especially when talking Anarchy not being prescriptive in response of people asking "how would [X] work in Anarchism/Anarchy?":
"If indeed our readers expect a reply from us from these questions, or at least to those which are really serious and important, which is more than our personal opinion at this particular moment, it means that we have failed in our attempt to them what anarchism is about."
- Errico Malatesta, Anarchy
Recently, I've decided to read into different types of Anarchism, including some of the ones that I consider wacky, but seems very eye-catching and appealing to me. I have looked into theory from For Ourselves! like The Right to be Greedy, The Minimum Definition of Intelligence, and looking into Communization (like D.Z. Rowan ) and Anarcho-Communization, and I have felt that it was the best fit for me. Thanks to this self-theory guide, I have been able to utilise and partake in self-theory and went straight into Egoism and see what I want for myself, how I can affirm my ownness, and how I may apply it to my life.
This self-insert is a beginning of a new political era for me. It may change as I complete it as I still learn about stuff!

- puri thought (////): The thing that Egoists do on self-inserts (S+)
- HelloThere314ism (////): Well, damn. You're so much more philosophically versed than I, and I didn't understand everything but I enjoyed reading your page, despite it being a whip (WIP). We agree on the Anarcho-Communization and the Ego-Communism, making us very similar. My favorite part of your page was the Masters without Slaves. I've looked into your reading list and I had to steal some of it since it peaked my interest! 😭 (S+) - 99
- Ego-Progressivism (/////: We are actually very well similar. Also, fun fact, Vaush was also my source of the first time I got radicalized, though I don't watch him anymore. I like the Queerness and Communist Egoism, and on top that you are an anarchist! My favorite part of your page is the Queerness! (S+) - 99
- Yani Nihilism (////): Fellow Mexicana! This is probably the first latin american postie I have seen online. Your page can simply be summed up to "I don't care. Live and Let live, let me do what I want" to the max, which is very egoistic. Though, I have something to say in your LGBT section. I am wondering if you can elaborate on your comment that "the gender binary shouldn't be abolished." Your anarcho-pacifism probably sets you down a couple of points, but since it is a personal thing of yours, whatever 😭 I have just recently warmed up to anarcho-nihilism while reading "Blessed is the Flame" so overall your page is stellar. (S-) - 96
- Post-Acceleration Thought (////): Bare page, but it seems awesome so far. Fellow Technology Enjoyer and Post-Leftist, and also Ego-friendly. My favorite aspect of your page is the Anarchy and Anti-Economy. However, how do we achieve this Utopia that you define as? Isn't that some sort of ideal,
fellow postie? (S-) - 95
- Erissianism (////): Your introducton sounds very based: Fellow Ultraprogressive, Anarcho-Communizer, Insurrectionary, Transhumanist (although you turn it up to 100 with POSTHUMANISM!) Post-Genderist, and Post-Left. I think that attempting to make the world more "feminine" (less competitive, less "dog eat dog") is good! I am planning to read Nyx Land. But I think one of the most glaring parts of your page is that I am missing to see where the free association is with your technology stance. Yes, technology/enhancements is awesome to me, but to some, people do not like it and are fine with being human. Also, as someone who also considers themselves an Eco-Anarchist.. AHHHHHHH!!!! Anyways, otherwise, stellar page. (S-) - 95
- LordCompost86: I'll get to updating this later since your page is very long. (S-) - 95
A
- Post-Left Autism (////): I kind of dropped my transhumanist stance, though I still really dislike primitivism as a personal thing. It is probably only main (yet small) issue is with your page, though it seems like you are getting closer to my views with the notable exceptions of primitivism and cultural nihilism (which I understand). One of the things I really like about your page is the fact that you clarify that you do not have a universal system, which I see sooooooo many anarchists who try to world-build their anarchism. Democracy and government heckin' suck! (A+) - 94
- Floofel's Thought (////): Very interesting aspect on the "Hit Rock Bottom, Destoy Yourself!", where you lay out Total Ego Death to fully assert ourselves, whereas I hold the opposite view to assert myself. It's also nice to see a fellow post-left insurrectionist, and seems like we hold some sorta similar to similar views to economics, action, and civics. (A) - 92
- Autistic Esoteric Post-Leftism (////): Apart of the Primitivist-leanings of your thinking, conspiracy thinking, a lot of your positions seem to be very agreeable. One of my issue with primitivists is that they tend to pressure/force primitivism onto others, but it does not seem to be the case here due to your free association. I like how you incorporate Anarcho-Communization, accept Unions of Egoists, anti-economy, mutual aid into your page. (A-) - 91
- NeoUnoGamerism (////): It's over: You're no longer a Post-Left Anarchist. Apart from that, seems like you still are an anti-statist egoist-communist! I am interested into seeing how Postgenderism and Communism can be mixed in your page.(A-) - 91
- O'Langism (////): A decent pro-democracy classical anarchist. One of the main downsides to Anarcho-Syndicalism is that they seem to emphasize syndicate unions and worker's cooperatives over other types of voluntary and fluid organizing, which seem to place the organization and its goals above the individual, and hampers with self-liberation a bit. Although I would join one of these if it means that I can spread anarchy and get to freely (dis)associate it, so lol. Also for democracy, all I can say is this: "Anarchy is the equality of liberty, democracy is the equality of authority." Your civics section was my favorite part, though! (A-) - 90
B
- Gambolism (): Good egoism! Although this exploitation aspect does not sit well with me personally, but you do you and your page is bare so I can't comment on much. :( (B) - 85
- (////): Libertarian Socialism was what I used to be for quite a while. Although I may disagree with it, I have an interest of looking into Bookchin's Social Ecology. It seems like the content that you read and the videos you've watched have been quite based! Your philosophy and reading list is also good, so it bumped you up! (B) - 84
C
- Glencoeism (////): Radical Liberal, but not all of it is bad. Ew to private property. Ew to your concept of corporate democracy, this is how capitalists showcase their version of "worker's self-management", Ew to Nationalisation, but it is a little better than privatization. W to your progressivism (though can't wait to see what isn't included "for the most part"). W for trying to help the environment, kinda W for wanting to expand civil liberties, but doing so from above is inferior to the concept of self-liberation . I would say W for technological acceleration, but we should get rid of technology which does nothing but oppress people. Otherwise, average. But better than your average radical liberal. (C) - 74
- National Fracturism (////): Nationalism, Statism/Authoritarianism are big no-nos. But I like your environmentalism and your progressivism, it seems like you have good intentions in terms of trying to save the environment, but an authoritarian approach to fixing widespread social issues (climate change) I feel like falls flat. (C-) - 72
- Meowxism (////): What a meowxist! Epic transhumanist, ultraprogressivism, and environmentalism! Though, your alignment Lenin's Vanguard and Democratic Centralism is yikes.. (C-) - 72
D
- Neo-Glencoeism (////) - It seems like that Glencoeism has been better than the one you have right now. The "Keeping America Pure" section has been.. very.. icky (among with other things).. I am opposed to deportations based on speech, vehemently. You have abandoned your libertarianism and socialist-leaning values for statism, and (welfare) capitalism. Big W for opting to switch to metric system, as an American. And you still maintained your progressivism which is nice, although I oppose progressivism from above. D - 65
E
Bourgeoisie destroyerism (////): White Nationalist. End of story. (although you have some pretty good influences on your politics: Post-Left, Post-Autonomism, Post-Situationism) E - 55
