Yeah and now you think it makes sense to do the same to others. Which yes it worked, but in a fucked up way. You now also dont seem see the problem in wielding shame and embarrassment to influence others. Those are tools you use to make people submit and not to support in growing into the people they could be.
I was originally going to post to philosophy@hexbear.net, but it didn’t work.
I think that might be related to slrpnk.net being defederated from hexbear.net
I only see this online. I would cringe if anybody insulted someone to their face as liberal lol
Yeah I agree with that. Making people feel bad is not making them like you, try to understand you or work with you. Otherwise heaxbear would already have taken over the Lemmyverse by bullying everyone into being socialist.
Its the same logic people use to defend their bullying of fat people.
And by no means I mean to stop critiquing people. But doing so with compassion, a willingness to educate and social awareness is so much better when you want to have people join your cause.
How does a no-state Palestine defend itself from Israel?
A zero state palestine would obviously exist on the lands of all historical palestine, which would make the existence of current day Israel impossible. And tbh, I dont see how being organized via a state is any help in defending oneself from current day Israel, as we can see in Iran.
How many minutes would a no-state Cuba last before gusanos with US weapons and air support show up and implement their own state?
How many minutes would the state of Cuba last against an invasion of the US? Other commentators pointed to examples of stateless defense of territory that might even be more effective in their circumstances than establishing a state
Still not agrreing with calling those people idiots, but i get where you are coming from. Of course we should learn from the past, we shouldnt repeat unnecessary mistakes
Yeah sorry your analogy doesnt make any sense to me.
Also
taking civilian government positions by force rather than election
This has nothing to do with anarchism
People who say not to vote are either idiots or conservative trolls wearing masks
One of the most successful anarchists projects, revolutionary Catalonia, was done by people that actively campained for voting boycotts. Calling those people idiots in an anarchist community is a choice. But its also concerning to me that this comment is the most upvoted currently…
Electoralism means more than just voting, its about using elections, representative democracy and the state as means to influence the world. It means using elections and the current goverment as primary focus of your activities.
I rarely meet anarchists that do something like that. Many vote, many dont vote, but really only a few actually embrace electoralism.
I am against in the way, that I dont want to participate in it and dont want to work closely together with groups / people that do.
Its outdated and even in its time it didnt show important and big groups such as police, military and peasants.
If you own stocks you actually share some material interests with billionaires. You have to actually choose to act against parts your own interests when you support thr end of capitalism. So in part, you might have class solidarity with billionaires. And lets be real, in many rich countries exactly that is a problem.
Why are those share holder meetings the important part of “owning the stock” to you? Aren’t people owing stock because they want dividends or because they expect the value to increase? Isnt profit them main motivation? With profit being reliant on workers and earth exploitation?
You could stop trying to “invest”. Like instead of hoping for numbers that go up, you could offer local collectives interest-free loan or in general just give money to community organizations that would be helpful to you in situations were you would have relied on investments.
You are not forced to participate in rent seeking.
Yeah nah, I am not joining the rent seeking class just because some meme says so.
Yep!
Also having to hand over biometric data like finger prints…
But then we just get new ones. I think the third option, abolishing the government, would be the best
Its not capitalism people, it’s us
I wouldn’t say ecological destruction is an inherent feature of being human. But yes its not just capitalism, there are many more motivations and ideologies that contribute to seeing the earth just as as a big bag of ressources. We should oppose all of those.
Things do not become true just because you pretend them to be.
