For sure, didn’t mean to say they weren’t. What I meant is theres always gonna be a small and noisy minority of those people who take it too far and start getting annoying.

I think they’d tolerate them the same way some of us organizational anarchists tolerate some of the anarcho-punks. There are plenty of people within leftist spaces that are somewhat on the right track, but get sidetracked with petty grievances and “wishy-washy” (vague) vibes based politics. I use anarcho-punks as an example, because I’ve met plenty of people who call themselves anarchist, but don’t care much about socialist organizing (or any organizing for that matter) and kind of just think we can slacktivist our way out of fascism. Of course, like the lemmy “tankies”, these people make up a tiny minority, and don’t effect political progress at all, negative or positive effect.

Notice how the contributions these Anarchists made don’t end up in -isms. Anarchist theory is important, because you’re building this malleable theory that can adapt and change depending on the material conditions of regions and eras. When you look at the progression of Marxism to Marxism-Leninism to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism it’s basically just “Yea, what the last guy said, but now me!”

Oh I didn’t mean like I watch him as my primary news source, I meant more so that I’d tune into his streams from time to time knowing I’m tuning into a political/news show. But thanks for the info.

Zionist spotted, opinion dismissed.

Capitalism is inherently incompatible with statelessness. You need some kind of police or military force to enforce private property and contracts. In anarcho-capitalism, that force doesn’t disappear. Those with more money would be able to buy more protection, better courts, and stronger enforcement, they would increasingly turn wealth directly into power.

What we understand as a corporation today wouldn’t vanish without the state; it would reappear as large, hierarchical firms held together by contracts, private security, and internal command structures. In practice, these would look less like free associations and more like dictatorial private governments, exercising control over workers and communities without even minimal public accountability.

Removing legal tender laws or corporate charters doesn’t eliminate capitalism’s core dynamics: private ownership of productive resources, wage labor, and profit extraction. Anarcho-capitalism keeps those intact while stripping away any collective checks on them. From an anarchist anti-capitalist perspective, that’s not anarchism, thats straight up the replacement of public authority with unaccountable private power.

As an anarchist, every ML I’ve met IRL has been extremely based. I don’t get how this whole Marxist vs. Anarchist divide on Lemmy formed.

“omg i love this woman shes my inspiration”

Doesn’t know anything about her

I’ll count this as slop, but don’t let that discourage you. This is coming from an absolute untalented bum. That sketch looks really good. I promise you you’ll have fun learning to fill in the colors. The art is not that it looks good, the art is knowing someone went through the time and effort to figure out the best way to finish a piece. AI is not art, but you seriously have talent!

“First they came for the communists, I did not speak  up since I wasn’t a communist…”

What in the radlib hell. How, who and why. These people give anarchism a bad rep. Wheres the counter protest??

Why was Bookchin a scumbag? Please explain

Blue anon back at it again.

Saying something good about a country = Propaganda (???)

What does this image have to do with Chomsky being a tankie? This photo proves more that he’s a fraud, not a tankie…

Very disappointing, but also incredibly confusing dare I say? I listened to a lot of Chomskys talks on YouTube, which have always been very critical of capitalism and the elite. Is the dude just too old to give a shit now? Either way, this should serve as a lesson to any anarchist. Idolize no one, unless they die a hero.

hmm  c orn yummy

That’s a very thoughtful thought! Here’s what I thought you could think about when these thoughtful thoughts come up:

· Thoughts help thinking brain go poo poo every
· Sometimes brain say “hmm” but actually “yikes”
· When idea go bonk against skull wall, that’s innovation
· Overthinking is just cardio for neurons
· Deep philosophical questions like “Why am I?” and “How?” share 87% of the same ingredients
· If you can’t stop thinking, try unplugging brain and plugging it back in (this is also called “a nap”)

Ayn Rand was right all along.

Ya lost me right there.

Upvote: Made me lol, thoughtful opinion or something I generally agree with.
