Well sure - Anarcho-Socialism isn't true anarchy and anarcho-communism is the thing that lasts 5 seconds before turning into communism. I agree with that. But in terms of what people identify as, all the street-protesting types or Antifa types of anarchist are one of those in my experience and the rare anarcho-capitalist is a purely online type who has nothing to do with that and they'd throw out anyone who identifies as one if he did show up. Source: Years of experience with these sorts of mobs. Where on Earth does the notion that Chaz types are usually Anarcho-Capitalists come from? If so, then they are radically different to the usual crop I'm familiar with.Mine are the other way; pretty much all of the anarchists I know are anarcho-capitalists who would claim that an archo-socialist or anarcho-communist would be self-contradicting by utilising force on someone who would not go wi the commune.
There's a whole library of anarchist theory and thought on how Anarchism should be implemented. Now 90% of this boils down to:I think anarchy is more a critique of government than a specific solution.
The other option is even worse. You have a few people doing all the actual work and everyone else is worthless parasites. You can't have anything remotely like a commune without a way of gatekeeping and some form of governance, even if it's pure majority voting.Even in small groups a "natural" hierarchy emerges.
There have been plenty of hippy communes that just turn out to be completely tribal after few weeks together.
One man decides all the work and tasks and the rest are just pawns/serfs in the system.
Even hell has a pecking order. There are no good examples of anarchy working because is more of a state of transition than an actual goverment type. Because structure is inevitable in human groups, either out of necessity to keep order and be productive along side dominate personality types naturally trying to control more submissive personality types.The closest example of anarchy is hell.
The capitalism part is also debatable since they had zero respect for property rights, warlords stayed in power via raiding and the resulting loot patronage to their tribe. The Han Chinese deciding it was worth paying protection money to the tribes closest to them to ward off the more brutal tribes further inland was closer to an anarcho-capitalist mindset than the steppe nomads themselves.The closest thing to anarcho-capitalism is probably steppe horse lords. And the anarcho part is debatable because everyone gangs up under leaders to prevent other clans from killing them and stealing their herds and then suddenly you have the Yuan Dynasty.
I remember when I was living there and a fat gay beaner ran against Sawant and she claimed he was attacking her for being a woman of color. BTW, wanna guess the race of her husband, the husband she only married after divorcing her Indian husband?No, because the remaining council members are just blase useless fucks instead of crotchety Trotskyists and Capitol Hill will almost assuredly replace Sawant with someone equally extreme/prone to posturing as a revolutionary.
From the moment they legalized weed, despite the law saying you cannot smoke it in public (like you can't drink in public), Seattle police were ordered to never arrest anyone for smoking in public. They also were ordered to NEVER arrest a homeless person unless they're actually attacking someone. So it's just homeless people literally standing in the middle of the road screaming and police are neutered and can't do anything.I wondered why this thread was bumped, bloody hell those wheels of justice grind slow.
So, what do we think? They gonna make an example of him or, more or less, let him off with some crappy half arsed punishment and sweep it under the rug?
As said in the previous thing, homeless people are a protected class in Seattle. Like, I cannot overemphasize how many homeless people sleeping in the little indents of storefront entrances I had to step over on my walk to my bus every morning. I remember in the 2017 mayoral race where it was rice white uber-liberal lady 1 vs rich white uber-liberal lady 2 and they were asked how they were going to solve the homeless problem and they said "Build more houses!" when it's a known fact that a HUGE percentage of the homeless population is not from Seattle and specifically moves to Seattle because they know they won't be arrested for openly doing drugs or sleeping in tents wherever they want. They try to skew this by saying "Where did you live when you lost housing?" with the majority saying King County, but there are so many cases, especially of youth, coming to Seattle for drugs so if they come here for a month to live with a friend then get kicked out, they're considered "from King County" rather than where they actually originated from."The city also removed tent encampments from the park Wednesday, marking the 76th time it had done so at Cal Anderson in 2023, she said."
You would think after the 5th time these people would take a hint hint hint
Once, back in the depths of lockdowns, I stumbled across a Twitch streamer preaching the dissolution of government in favor of a money free society where everyone contributes what they can and takes what they need. I asked them something to the effect of "How does that system prevent snowballing abuse and parasitic behavior? What mechanism stops the human nature of selfish desire from depriving others?"The other option is even worse. You have a few people doing all the actual work and everyone else is worthless parasites. You can't have anything remotely like a commune without a way of gatekeeping and some form of governance, even if it's pure majority voting.
And even then, you need some unbreakable rules to keep the majority from just voting to kill the minority.
That's STILL GOVERNMENT.
There are hundreds of videos of pet cats, dogs, birds, ect trying to steal the other pet's food even when they have a full, untouched bowl. It's literally a fact of nature, and since commies are atheist, they can't even say humans should be better because of their elevated status.Once, back in the depths of lockdowns, I stumbled across a Twitch streamer preaching the dissolution of government in favor of a money free society where everyone contributes what they can and takes what they need.

I was immediately banned and the only words spoken by the streamer to that comment was something like "Imagine not understanding that people only behave that way because of capitalism." So at least I learned that the socialist commune utopia is predicated on people (checks notes) "just being good because it's not capitalism".
That's actually a very good point.So at least I learned that the socialist commune utopia is predicated on people (checks notes) "just being good because it's not capitalism".
I should have made that clearer. Your source of anarchists are from CHAZ/CHOP; my source of anarchists is from the Internet. We are actually seeing two different groups.Well sure - Anarcho-Socialism isn't true anarchy and anarcho-communism is the thing that lasts 5 seconds before turning into communism. I agree with that. But in terms of what people identify as, all the street-protesting types or Antifa types of anarchist are one of those in my experience and the rare anarcho-capitalist is a purely online type who has nothing to do with that and they'd throw out anyone who identifies as one if he did show up.

That reflects in the Benevolent Dictator For Life ideology some software groups have.You can’t have anarchy with a population greater than one individual unless the range of movement per individual is so big they never encounter each other. Anarchy isn’t possible for any length of time. A soundcloud rapper will always emerge.
Is government shit? Yeah most are. But humans and any social animal need hierarchy of some kind. In small groups this can be a flattish hierarchy. Past a critical mass and density (uhoh density again…) structure emerges.
Oddly I’ve worked in a couple of departments that pride themselves on flat hierarchies and they were completely dysfunctional. The only time it’s ever worked where I’ve been employed was academia, and that only once with someone brilliant in charge who had no interest in his ego being stroked. Other groups were like little malign terrorist cells, or Venetian duchies.
That is one of my main problems with anarcho-capitalism; that requires that everyone there agree wi the system.The other option is even worse. You have a few people doing all the actual work and everyone else is worthless parasites. You can't have anything remotely like a commune without a way of gatekeeping and some form of governance, even if it's pure majority voting.

Not only agree, but to actively work on it/problem.That is one of my main problems with anarcho-capitalism; that requires that everyone there agree wi the system.
In a post apocalyptic world, the only ones who would survive is the ones that band together, doesn't matter how tight or loose the hierarchy is.Anarchy in it's purest is just starvation and death. To survive this world any advanced species needs organization.
