Anarchism Is More Than Anti-Statism

I do not argue that anarchists are incapable of being sexist or racist, this would be false considering the sexism of Proudhon and anti-semitism of Bakunin. What I argue in this video is that a consistent anarchist rejects unnecessary and harmful hierarchies, not just the state, and in so doing rejects sexism and racism. An anarchist who is sexists and racist is inconsistent in a manner that a sexist or racist anti-statist is not.

Btw I realise that its contradictory for an anti-statist to act on his/her racism/sexism by coercing others but it is not contradictory for them to hold those values.
