Hi friends,

Today I would like to share some ways to connect with others within the Freedom Movement. Often we find it hard to get in touch with other like-minded people and many times you'll hear that some people only know other anarchists or libertarians from the Internet. From my own experience I can tell you that here in the Netherlands it is very hard to find our kind. There are some libertarians around, but you won't see many all out ancaps.

Therefore, I would like to share my favorite online places where it's fairly easy to meet other anarchists and libertarians.

1. Facebook groups

Although I realize mainstream social media are dying, my favorite place to talk to other like-minded people is in special Facebook groups. Why? Simple. Most people are still active on Facebook, including anarchists and libertarians. The largest group I'm currently in has over 17,000 people in it!

Here are my favorite Facebook groups to be active in:

• Anarcho Capitalist Community (Link)
  As far as I know, this is the largest gathering of Anarchists and libertarians on social media: 17,229 members at the time I am writing this post.

• Voluntaryism (Link)

• Crypto-Anarchists (Link)
  This group has recently been created by Hive account@ancapsteve to talk about crypto! My experience is that it's a very friendly group and people are happy to give you advice. If you don't like Facebook, there are talks to move to another platform such as Discord or Minds.com, so keep an eye on this group.

2. Steemit.chat

In case you haven't seen it yet, there are some interesting channels on Steemit.chat. Of course, the #Anarchy and #Anarchism-trail channels are good for finding out about like-minded bloggers (like me!), but I'm actually more referring to the channels moderated by Hive account@the-ego-is-you. The most interesting channel is called #Cooperative_Agorism. It's not a post-n-run channel and the chat is very serious and civilized.

3. Freedom Cells (freedomcells.coeo.cc)

Freedom Cells are an initiative to get in touch with real life people and organize. It's mostly based on agorist principles, but basically anyone can join and connect with like-minded people. This platform is especially popular in the United States. If you're interested in this initiative, check out Derrick Broze's work on his profile Hive account@dbroze.

4. Steemit

Of course I couldn't leave out Steemit.com. I've met a lot of new people on this platform who are very friendly and also create great content. If you're new around here, check out the #anarchy and #freedom tags and take a look if you can meet some new people.

Here are some interesting people to follow: (sorry if I left somebody out!)
Hive account@adamkokesh — Hive account@ancapsteve — Hive account@corbettreport — Hive account@danilo-cuellar — Hive account@dbroze — Hive account@doitvoluntary — Hive account@dollarvigilante — Hive account@dwinblood — Hive account@jeffberwick — Hive account@kafkanarchy84 — Hive account@larkenrose — Hive account@kencode — Hive account@lukewearechange — Hive account@politics-trail — Hive account@pressfortruth — Hive account@sondreb — Hive account@sterlinluxan — Hive account@tftproject — Hive account@thatgermandude — Hive account@the-ego-is-you — Hive account@tyrannyunmasked — Hive account@voluntary — Hive account@wearechange

Let me know if I'm missing somebody that creates good anarchy-themed content!

5. Discord

Yesterday I joined an Anarchist group on Discord, but I'm not sure I'm content with it. It seems like another ancap-ancom debate/meme war group. However, the potential I see to use Discord for connecting with other people is big, given its many features: different channels, text and voice chat, etc.

I hope the Facebook group Crypto-Anarchists will move to Discord.

What are your favorite groups? Let me know! I'd love to meet more like-minded people.
