Freetown Christiania??? You’re fucking kidding me, right? The bourgeois suburb full of PMC types that work closely together with Copenhagens police in order to scare away the last vestiges of their squatter history so they can gentrify yet another tourist-trap shopping street? There is nothing anarchist about Christiania and if there was then that would be a massive indictment of anarchism. It’s a glorified HOA that, due to its history, did not pay property taxes for a good while. When a bunch of squatters tried to pull the same stunt with Søminen that was pulled in Christiania, then that place was shut down due to complaints from… The bougie fucks at Christiania. Same goes for the pirate harbor.
The only thing Christiania is a good example of is how the western lefts lack of a disciplined ideological guiding line led to a bourgeois class that clothes itself in the aesthetics of revolution.
Sorry, that may or may not be true, but my argument was that the media and bougie may, in fact, allow hired journalists to promote anarcho-communism at least to some extent when there’s a money incentive. Which has nothing to do with what they think of it (not much positive), if they know the difference (no), or if the people consuming the media may.
Right and my argument is that there is nothing anarcho-communist about Christiania, which I also wrote out quite explicitly. “The media” or “hired journalists” likewise do not promote anything anarcho-communist about Christiania. That is such a vague and pointless statement however, and even if the opposite were true then that would be in the interest of the bourgoisie since “Christiania sux” and it is thus not something to copy. Promoting it as some cool neat little ancom thing would in fact be detrimental to any leftist movement, since it is not something one should seek to replicate.
So you do agree that question was bullshit from the start? The media one. As for oppression, the borgies will always find a way to either monetize something and/or fight it, my point was, and I am in only the former right now.
EDIT: before anyone even replies, the ideological passive monetizing of mine is in what I believe to be the lesser evil anyway right now, in the fight of two borgies. There’s no way forward to the left around here while they are having fun in this way.

No it seems like a pretty fair question and one you failed to answer
