so nothing much would be different
When you listen to a bunch of dreadlocked whiteboy anarchists, that’s basically what they’re arguing for, they want a society where they can just sit around smoking weed all day instead of working, which is what they already do.
I really hate the anti-work left. I’m disabled. I cant work. I WANT TO, but literally can’t maintain consistent schedules and long hours w/o time off for my health. The only job I could get would be at Goodwill for under a dollar an hour (this is done so disabled people can work without losing their benefits, but are still stuck in forever poverty, and ofc so Goodwill doesn’t have to pay their workers). From my reading of the ussr they largely helped the disabled actually work (within accomodation) and feel productive w/o making them slaves. That’s cute af
Yeah. I have a few disabled friends too, and it breaks my heart to see them fighting and struggling to survive because they aren’t obviously visibly disabled enough, so they’re constantly under scrutiny and they are constantly questioned about whether or not they really can’t work a normal job or not. It’s an awful, dehumanising system that assumes the worst out of society’s most vulnerable people. All of them want to work, to give back to others, to give back to society, but they can’t because the sort of work they can do isn’t productive and profitable enough.
Horseshoe theory confirmed
My biggest criticism is idealism and that humans require centuries of social conditioning to achieve a stateless society.
Or at the very least get to the point where people stop thinking libertarianism is “a crazy new idea that might just work” and start seeing it for the noncery that it is.
Anarchism is a tendency, not an achievement. As we move towards it, fewer people are coerced by others claiming authority.
This is literally what turned me off of anarchism cause they had no answer for racism
this is how i feel too. it’s why I look torwards specifically decolonial MLs as well. They offer the only path forward to smashing white supremacy imo.
just let people do whatever they want and they wont be racist i pinkie promise
This checks out.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
He seems to be thinking that a state run by mostly white people, that is, a group of mostly white people who claim to know better than everyone else and claim authority to be the arbiter of justice, is more likely to do the right thing – not sure I would agree.
Replace white with black and see how racist this is :). You cant be racist agains white right? Lol…
I mean, fair, but it’s the institutions that give those people the power to enact atrocious acts with impunity, there is no genocide without an army supplied by the state and paid by capital. Large scale atrocities where always the domain of states
States represent the structure of a society, and enforce the rules that society agrees upon. Up to now, vast majority of societies have been built around concepts such as feudalism and capitalism, which are the underlying drivers that lead societies to enact atrocities.
Bruh doesn’t trust white people to do the right thing without a state, so their solution is to give white people a state and then… trust them to do the right thing anyway.
so their solution is to give white people a state
They never said this, you pulled this out of your ass lmao
I’m applying the same standards to their model of the state as they apply to anarchism. They assume anarchism will have no antiracist action, so I assume they haven’t heard of antiracist action.
A marxist state will never exist in the US without reparations and land back being major platforms, and without the broad support of poc and the indigenous.
And why put words in their mouth? People usually don’t read the articles (read the articles btw people, I CAN TELL YOU JUST READ THE HEADLINES THEN POST), but you didn’t even read the entire tweet
Didn’t you get banned for being a nonce?
No
