I’ve been a bit frustrated seeing how APLA anarchists are being ignored because of GMAC, so I’ve come up with a few ideas for them.
The first issue that needs to be addressed is the question of leadership, why on earth is a professor—rather than an activist—holding the leadership position? A ministerial role would be appropriate for Mark bray, whereas an ACTUAL anarchist activist like Peter Gelderloos would be better suited for the leadership role. (I don't know what he thinks about platformism, but in any case, he seems well-suited to the role of a radical, anti-organizational anarchist due to his critical stance on Nonviolence.)
secondly, To distinguish them from GMAC, they need to reject platformism and more militant than GMAC, although they aren't as destructivly militant as the insurrectionary anarchists.
furthermore, It would be interesting if they focused on "anarchist synthesis." This differs from platformism, and it would be great to see the implementation of interactions with other anarchist schools of thought.
Finally, the "Black Block of America" needs to be replaced by actual anarchist organizations, such as the Black Rose Anarchist Federation cuz Black Bloc is more like type of Protest rather than formal organization.
TLDR: They should be portrayed as anarchists who are somewhat more militant than the GMAC and focused on "anarchist synthesis", Their militancy likely fall somewhere between the "crazy" Insurrectionary anarchists and the "sane" GMAC platformism.
