He's a working class anarchist who is peeved that the anarchist movement has been taken over by people who are effectively not anarchist at all, imposing authoritarian decrees on what can and can't be said (mostly around criticism of 'gender identity'), and threatening to call the police if their demands aren't mind.
The author makes an interesting point about the influence of the individualistic ideology, represented politically by Margaret Thatcher:
> This is a Thatcherite celebration of the "individual" as the be-all and end-all. She would have been proud of the individualistic bullshit they try to dress up as anarchism.
In a way, this, more generally applied to neuter the political left, was Thatcher's most long-lasting political achievement. As the article expounds, even far-left anarchist movements aren't immune to it, sadly.
