    Edit: updated the quote to the one I was actually thinking of.

    Yet theory without practice is of little use and producing accurate accounts of past anarchists and movements, while important, does not bring anarchy closer. Twenty years is a long time and there is still no sign of the social revolution – although social revolts continue aplenty! Does this mean AFAQ was a waste of time? Far from it! To think that misunderstands what anarchism is – it is not a vision of a “perfect” society but rather a movement aiming to change the world for the better. Sometimes our resistance – like the class struggle it is part of – is small-scale, invisible, securing minor victories or just slowing down the decisions of the powerful (whether the state or the boss). Sometimes our resistance explodes into the public and the revolt becomes newsworthy. Regardless of the size of activity, anarchists work today to make the world a bit more libertarian.

    Not all gorups that might be reported to help the community are safe, use your own judgement in picking allies or associations. However, some organizations are much more open minded than you might give them credit for. Either way, use your judgment, and stay safe.

        I’ve heard Japan’s leftist situation isn’t the greatest, to put it lightly, but I have to suspect at least a few people out of the 4.9 million who live in Hokkaido would be interested in joining in on some type of group, even if it’s something like a book/anime/manga club that focuses on exploring leftist concepts in that media.

        Maybe from there it could grow into a group that does some small acts of mutual aid, or even some fun community focused projects like a community garden, or making a little library together (or maybe some of the other ideas we put forward in an older monthly meta post).

          🙇‍♀️ for acknowledging our predicaments.
