I personally like that anarchist shot presidents but I can’t speak for everyone in the community. I love mutual aid, and I feel anarchist have been some of the most effective at demonstrating effectiveness of their tools in crises.

I personally worry that anarchism could enable corporate power or some other super organism style organization to take control. That is why I feel communism is necessary, because you can’t leave that power vacuum open, its better to have a system to organize things.

I kinda lean more anarcho-communism though; I would prefer a type of communism that let you do what you wanted; and while I have a lot of respect for Soviet science and sceintists; I don’t know if creating a superior man is a good goal; though our environment shapes us weather we want it too or not, so in some ways you can’t escape it, you either get changed passively or actively.

And I agree with Bookchin in a way, I don’t want to get into the details because it will definitely start a larger discussion (possibly even people yelling at me) than I can handle right now (I’m having some medical issues); but I have an idea for a decentralized communalism and communist project, I have sketched it out but never modeled it or anything. I considered writing a comicbook about it.

Many hackers and computer scientists are anarchist. Ill add it to the sidebar.

I like anarchist, I used to identify as one, but as I got older I see communism as the only way to stop total cascading ecological collapse, and we probably wont have enough time to fix it.

Like there are two major problems we face and we don’t really talk about: 1 is “the greatest generation” fucking booby trapped the entire fucking planet with planet killing bombs. I like to ask people “whats your favorite part of the nuclear triad” at parties, as you see people dont talk to me much at parties. So that needs to be resolved otherwise, the infrastructure and just probability of accidental explosions of not nuclear weapons, THERMOnuclear weapons which are entirely different beast. And the US specialized in dirty bombs so if one of theirs goes off accidentally, like that area would become an exclusion zone.

Sometimes I consider building a darknet website where you bet on witch silo is going to have a malfunction (one in Arkansas almost did in the 90’s; and we have dropped many from planes accidentally on US territory, and by sheer luck they didn’t explode) because wherever it happens, like if its Seattle for example or some place along the southern east coast, or San Diego where they are manufactured, it would dramatically change the political map of the US.

So we got that, and then we have total cascading ecological collapse https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-023-01157-x

To be brief: climate change, or better said climate instability, is a small component in a web of problems that are about to fuck us so hard that the niche we live in as a species is going to close up or shrink so much that it will redefine what hell world means.

Honestly any belief is welcome, even liberals can come post, but we will make fun of them relentlessly and shame them. I don’t really care if it converts them but it would allow the community to demonstrate why some X liberal idea is fucking stupid and build a list of arguments that can be refined and used in later conversations.

If you are ever up for it Id actually like to talk to you more about Bookchin, he is an interesting fellow. Probably best by XMPP or Email; I think we could have an interesting discussion truly. Now I got to get on anonymous and get the guys books, I feel ignorant and not well read all of a sudden.

I go into Bitcoin to fuck with libertarians, no joke, but there are libertarians that I feel like could be political allies and are not insane corpratist, or want trillionaires to exist. Finding that common ground is important for creating a political coalition, just need a good way to filter out the ones that we could work with and avoid the rest because they seem mostly concerned about how you can have sex with a 16 year old in Germany and the UK but not in the US.

Thank you for the question, it let me learn more about Bookchin and I will definitely read his books; even if I disagree which I may not, it sounds interesting and he sounds like we start from the same foundation: anti-capitalism. So we have important common ground.
