Most USians don't like being reminded that the empire they live in and have internalized belonging to is in terminal decline, and the options are a drawn out slow collapse and a "really flinging shit around" collapse
Plenty of men date without comparing themselves to other men in a weird hierarchy way
Paul you have to change your name and drink this blue stuff for girls or the freemen won't respect you. Have you been keeping up with voice training?
That doesn't sound consensus based or consent based at all, lol, you don't even have a democratically elected and instantly recallable committee to assign the work? Damn, anarchists are out here having more hierarchy in their political structure than the tankies.
Earnestly: while we live in a deeply stratified society, if you dont intentionally form power structures informal, incredibly undemocratic ones will fill that void, as is this case with what you're describing.
If none exist while socialist projects exist, that suggests that the ideology is nonviable at large scales at this point in time. And "just waiting" while capitalism cripples the biosphere and kills millions is an expression of prioritizing your own perfectionism over preventing actual suffering.
Wouldn't that disagree with your ai generated notion of authority, if someone is appointed to facilitate it through a democratic mechanism?
Wait, do they not do that at anarchist meetings?
Do you not also disagree with those tactics, given how spectacularly they've failed to amount to anything material?
I feel like they probably shouldn't have done those things then, if they weren't able to sustain themselves in the face of that sort of state repression like communists could.
i’m not saying i have a good plan. i’m saying i am suspicious of any plan that concentrates power, and i believe my suspicion is warranted.
I mean, look up the life expectancy of China vs India over time. Place your suspicion against the facts.
That's incredibly unspecific, repression is one of the main things states do and is a broad category.
Sorry, do you prefer the US to collapse in, idk, a flurry of proxy wars with the potential for the use of nuclear weapons? I much prefer the slow decline with limited proxy wars.
