Welcome to the Anarchist Non-Monogamy group, begun by a non-monogamist anarchist couple desiring a forum where self-identified anarchists believing in any form of non-monogamy/polyamory can meet/share ideas, concerns and feelings relating to these two topics. We encourage most kinds of related dialogue, such as

relationship concerns

feelings or problems regarding one's personal anarchism/non-monogamy

theoretical connections between non-monogamy and anarchy/anarchism

how to talk with anarchists about non-monogamy or with poly folk about anarchy

We want this to be a safe place for open and honest communication (necessary for non-monogamy), especially since we share particularly radical ideas compared to the culture around us. We want this to be a safe space in the wilds of this crazy world. We will not tolerate sectarianism, dogmatism, in fighting or bickering between various anarchist factions. Also, all different forms of non-monogamy are welcome on this group. We want to keep out political argument and shouting matches, including accusations like, "But you're not a real anarchist." That has no place here. We feel that such behavior upsets the possibility of trust, respect, and community.

Those who believe in monogamy OR who do not consider themselves anarchist are not welcomed--we will delete them. We require that members believe in both anarchy/anarchism and non-monogamy. Likewise, we will not tolerate members who engage in:

flaming, trolling, slandering or personally insulting other list members

racist, sexist, ableist, lookist or homophobic comments (In saying this, we don’t want to discourage those who see these feelings in themselves and want to overcome them from using this as a forum for discussing those issues.)

sending commercial ads to the list

Since we want to encourage a sense of community, we ask that members introduce themselves—feel free to say whatever you feel comfortable with.
