Are anarchists actually practicing anarchism if they form groups?

    Did Mikhail Bakunin think that women could not be anarchists?

    Of course not, if there were women in the forest they would be clearly accompanied by the Internet Argument Bear and therefore it wouldn't be anarchism.

    I thought the woman might be busy having three kids with one of Bakunin's disciples while still married to Bakunin.

    Dude lived an interesting life.

    Are "Iffs" a thing? I've been missing out.

    iff is the shorthand for "if and only if".

    If you said "if it is a horse it has hooves" you can infer "all horses have hooves" but not that "all hooved creatures are horses".

    Otoh if you said "iff a polygon has 3 sides, it is a triangle" you can infer that all polygons that have 3 sides are triangles and that there are no other ways to make triangles.

    edit: This was typed by sleep deprived me, I tried to fix it.

    Well I mostly was already familiar with "if and only if" terminology from some math class many years ago. So once you said iff stands for "if and only if" I didn't really look too close at the rest of your comment because I felt like I already understood.
