                Who is “we” in this situation? Is it a post revolution United States? Is it a hypothetical island? Is this anarcho-syndicist, mutualist, collectivist, etc? There’s more than one school of thought for anarchism

                Why are we negotiating money in a moneyless society?

                  Focusing on the wrong thing. It doesn’t matter what it is, or even who you’re trying to get it from, the point is that you need something another group of people has. How are you going to get it?

                  Everybody in your town is just going to leave their homes and walk to the nearest town together; or are you going to send a representative to that town to negotiate trade for you?

                  How are you going to decide who represents you?

                  Uh oh, you’ve just reinvented government

                    It doesn’t matter what it is, or even who you’re trying to get it from, the point is that you need something another group of people has

                    It very much does matter. Not all anarchist societies are going to work the same way. How you give and receive will therefore change based on the type of society. I encourage you to look into the different types of anarchy, both in practice and theoretical:

                    https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works

                    In this hypothetical question, to what degree does industrialization exist? Is personal property a thing? Surely you understand that private property wouldn’t exist. Do people organize as workers, neighbors, or both? Who owns what? Do states exist, or is this a global revolution?

                    There is so much that you have left out that is vital to an earnest answer. How are you going to expect an answer when you’ve given so little information?

                    Everybody in your town is just going to leave their homes and walk to the nearest town together; or are you going to send a representative to that town to negotiate trade for you?

                    So there is two incorrect assumptions about what you’re saying here.

                    The first is that trade must be negotiated, the second is that communication must be done in person.

                    1. There is such a thing as mutual aid, a gift economy, and with mutualism/collectivisim, there is no expectation of a return. You do what you can to help out your fellow man. You take what you need, and give what you can. Resources are distributed freely. Most models of anarchism both in practice and theoretical follow this pattern, or something close to it. So there is no “price” to be negotiated, that idea is nonsense in most anarchist schools of thought.

                    2. There has been this recent development called mail, in which we write things down on pieces of paper, and send them off to someone else to read. This is a form of communication that does not require in person communication, or representatives. Additionally, you may have heard of an even more recent development called the internet. With this fantastic invention you can communicate to people anywhere in the world in less than a few seconds, again making the need for in person representation non-existent.

                    Uh oh, your understanding is thousands of years out of date.

            actually a good question. From my understanding it’s the wronged party and they present it to their local community. Or you advocate for people who are being overlooked.

            The model is for smaller communities so that if justice is done poorly then people interjecting can correct it

        Who is the authority that controls the network your bittorrent client uses? Who is the authority that forces you to share? Who is the authority that keeps bad actors from ruining it for everyone else? There isn’t one. Authority and violence are not the only models for providing systems. The fact that you can’t even conceive of consentual systems is kind of scary, like there’s an important piece of your mind missing.

          I feel bad for you, you don’t know how to admit your wrong. There are people that manage which code gets in there and doesn’t. The fact you can’t admit that is sad. Gl in life fr

          You don’t know how to think do you? Bittorrent is a hub created and maintained by someone. Just like lemmy has mods. Please really think before speak.

            No, it’s a peer-to-peer protocol that does not depend on a “hub” or central server. Like, very famously. Trackers exist to facilitate peer discovery, but the protocol allows clients to discover each other through DHT, “distributed lookup network,” with no central server. Maybe you’re too young to remember gnutella but BitTorrent was created to be invulnerable to disruption by doing away with all central servers. Fucking ask an AI before you start insulting people’s intelligence, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

            What about tor? What about i2p? What about gnutella? What about mojonation? What about the federation of Lemmy servers, who is in charge of that? What about FreeNet? What about Bitcoin? What about Ethereum? Bro, do you even code???

            Finding your thesis convincing requires you to be utterly ignorant of the world you are living in, blinded by your own baggage and bullshit and too cowardly to be curious.

              I don’t need to code, who is the authority that codes that hub? Who updates it maintains it please use your brain
