maybe this is a regional thing, but when I think “libertarian” with no modifiers it’s weirdo american right wingers, so i’m saying these are super individualists who are opposed to collective action and just pretend to be leftist anarchists

Not the American libertarians though

Nothing says anarchy like a strict wealth-based hierarchy

anarcho-neoliberalism

Wait is this account real wtf.

the dude was an actual advocate for anarchists in a space that was very ML leaning and there’s a person i strongly suspect of having doxxed him in retaliation for it. dude was looking into council communism by the end. i’m pretty critical of the politics on this site, but your sock puppet shit is exactly why a bunch of anarchists, myself included, did not feel safe going on your website, and part of the promise of hexbear was eventually federating which does a lot to hold your typically unaccountable internet moderator actually accountable to both their users and to others in general if they no longer can hold a monopoly on access to a community.

it’s also why i still don’t have a reason to shitpost on raddle. none of these sites are safe places to actually organize anything (and i don’t think it’s fair to expect them to be that), but being entirely at the mercy of a particular clique of highly sectarian “ancoms aren’t anarchIst” internet mods doesn’t make it an appealing social hangout space or anywhere to actually meet vaguely like-minded people.

if you’ve mellowed out since then that’s great but like don’t act like there wasn’t a damn good reason people didn’t want to be on your website.

I was going to say, if a minor is disowned by their family (or even an adult is kicked out and has no home anymore), isn’t it explicit state policy that they be given some kind of housing? Aren’t the homeless in China are mostly people who nominally do have a home but live on the streets elsewhere (especially people from the country seeking an income in cities)?

I’ve only read here and there about policies and such, is this consistent with what your people tell you?

Edit: Some fucker in that thread quoting Friere is so annoying, he was a Marxist! And of course these self-proclaimed anarchists are going to take The Economist’s word on China. What wretched fucking morons.

Edit 2: I need to stop looking at that website. Look at this shit. To the right of Robert Conquest on Soviet history, quoting Orwell, and of course being uncritical about sources when it owns the tankies. When people say that anarchism is extraordinarily vulnerable to Useful Idiocy, this is exactly what they mean. I don’t think they are feds (too low-value an operation) but this shit is basically just an ineffective version of what feds would do.

People would feed themselves instead of expecting others to labor to feed them; an entitlement that arose with industrial civilization. People would be inclined to protect the forests instead of bulldozing them for the supposed convenience of industrial food production if they picked their food directly from those forests everyday.

They’d protect the forests with their very lives because they’d need the food that grows in the forests to survive without industrial farms, bakeries and factories outsourcing food production and then hiding the ecocide they cause just out of sight of the villages and their carefully manicured streets.

what a terrible solution. so individualist its almost darwinian. it is also ecocidal in itself, by creating a world in which humans compete with animals, humans will kill animals. without farming, you are now competing with deer and whatever schmuck or tribe moves faster than you. theres a reason humans would go out and kill various ‘pest’ animals and predators: their existence demanded it at the time, for better or worse. the only way to buck this trend is with proper technology and planning. lets also just forget how many plants you need to feed a family sustainably, and also lets forget how much modern agriculture (and breeding, which you are taking advantage of when you grow these supposedly ‘natural’ plants, which oftentimes cant grow without perfect soil conditions given how altered they are, fuck lets forget that many forests have a severe dearth of any native food edible to humans) multiplies the productivity of plants, this plan is inherently genocidal. there is also a mention from ziq that seems to imply that complex forest ecosystems of the past were naturally more productive than agriculture. but why, then, did humans begin to cultivate plants? for funsies?

also, people do get tied up with literal family trees and demand protections of forests, this is common in most societies that are not settler-colonial and heavily urbanized

mfw someone doesn’t want to conquer the bread

No gods, no editors

No. In January 2020 I emailed an administrator asking if I could submit something, and they basically said something like ‘Maybe, sure.’ So I pitched my thesis on Fascism to them. They never replied after that.

It’s the NYT rule, to be a guest editor you must suck a certain amount to be allowed in.

This is why tankies and ancoms need to unite against anti-leftists, especially lifestyle anarchists who do so much damage to the cause.

If any of you understood my positions, you very likely wouldn’t be tankies. You have to be incredibly obtuse and prone to cult-like obedience to dear leader to be a tankie.

People who dedicate themselves to being subordinate to the party elite will never understand anarchy or wrap their heads around critiques of the fatalistic left/right paradigm.
