Party on, party on!

To some degree I agree with you. But it should be noted that poorly regulated capitalism often makes the smart decision for your own best interests to screw with others. Whereas better regulated capitalism (and socialism) theoretically makes that a smart decision less often.

Also, companies do exist, they exist specifically to shunt responsibility off of individuals. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, because single people having responsibility for massive economic things is probably a recipe for disaster.)

We do need a significant change in culture, we also need to change the system.

Yeah, you're dead on, and believe me, a lot of us know it, and I hope we do fix it. I'm doing as much as I can I guess, and I promise that there are a lot of other people doing what they can, even if its not publicized like the bad stuff. We'll see if it matters in the end.

The president also pardoned a bunch of domestic terrorists, screwed over our farmers, and undermined our energy security and trade domination, not to mention replacing every federal job he could with incompetent buffoons. I hate that old white guy.

I understand the sentiment (believe me, we agree more on the democrats than we disagree), but unless you've got some guns you're gonna go shoot in DC that's probably not gonna be how it happens.

Otherwise, we cannot get new parties (with legit political power on a federal level) without serious election reform, reform that will only happen from within the current party structure. So while we need new parties in the long run, we've got some work to do for which we are going to have to work with Democrats.

How do you propose they do that? Keep in mind that your proposal must not give up more power to Republicans.

In this case by cup it probably actually refers to a pint glass of water (two measuring cups), but in any case not an exact measurement, so it doesn't make sense to give exact measurements. Its describing the vessels of transportation, not the amounts.

Underrated comment.

does that imply that there are stoat monks which are called Stonks?

I mean, to people who can see it properly, its a really funny joke, but yeah, its annoying if you can't.

Oh yeah, I think most of it is Carboniferous trees, technically the chicken nuggets are more accurate

I got Centrist Marxist, which is pretty much right.

I should say, that's not how all Anarchists view it, but as far as I identify as an anarchist, that's what Anarchism is.

This is why I like to distinguish between Anarchy (Chaos) and Anarchism (Not Chaos, but no Hierarchies.)

I actually really like this analysis

Yes, my understanding is that Anarchists want to break down governments into smaller and smaller bits in order to allow for more and more direct democracy and cooperation.

Is this a safe space to say that my favorite programming language rn is Python?

Yeah, I can agree to that.

I agree with you in that we cannot have a society without some form of state, but I think the idea is that we would have small community governments with more or less direct democracy. Also, bio-essentialism? Really?

Yeah, banks aren't amazing, but from what I'm seen, whatever bs they pull is like the thing least wrong with the American financial system. It at least makes sense.
