You dont understand, my centralized power structure is based on giving. It could never be commandeered by power hungry psychopaths and used for their own gain like the rest of the power structures around the globe.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

One of the tent-poles of Marxism is the idea that actions are driven by material conditions. It seems so obvious to me that the material conditions of a self-appointed vanguard class (regardless of their original intentions) will lead them to be tyrants. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" as they say.
The whole point is that truth=group acceptance.
I swear to fuck nothing has set back Marxism as much as the ussr
The USSR clearly must have been an CIA insider job /s
German imperial intelligence, but yes
Nah, just a KGB inside job.
Well, if they were persecuted by this giant surveillance and oppression apparatus, they must've been bourgeoisie.
I feel Engels with his text "On Authority" is the OG of this kind of activity. Here is a text that goes into more detail
Nothing makes me more skeptical of anarchism than being told I'd have to rely on my local community.
Sounds like you need to work on improving your local community.
Where I am in Melbourne, we're a large and diverse group of people, there are constant events and community acitivities, a large co-op garden is just down the hill from me, at the park nearby there's frequently food trucks helping the poor/homeless.
It's not perfect, but give me more of that over Albanese and his genocidal enabling, Trump buddy-ness any day. I'd rather see my taxes/work go towards building this up than subsiding a mining company.
Mmm maybe i should work on it, perhaps through a hierarchical structure that works to organise people, bring out their best and simplify interactions with other communities?
Or instead of trying to have someone be above the others and dictate to them, you could just work together with them for the betterment of your community 🤷
And would elevating the most capable in the community help with that?
No.
Empowering everyone to work together would help with that.
Giving everyone a voice and a chance to meet and talk together to work out the how they would like a better community to look would help with that.
Ordering people around will only give you exactly what you already have as I assume you live in a LGA, with a hierarchical structure already, no?
In this thread, a whole bunch of liberal cucks.
I really think there is no way of fixing this world. Carl Sagan foreseen it many years ago and said that we are fuked
