Yes.
I want to decommidify housing, as there's no need for that. You want people on the streets, and are making up lies to justify your hatred for poor people.
Simple as.
Only few dems actually support universal Healthcare, unfortunately, and the majority don't care about anything but lining their pockets. It's the same with the GOP, of course.
That being said, of course vote for dems if your only other option is reps. What's bad is better than what's terrible. However, don't simply vote and be done with it.
Educate yourself. Improve your life. Exercise, organize, teach. Grassroots praxis is where you can meaningfully improve the lives of your community, and carry that momentum elsewhere. The two party system isn't going to be corrected purely via electoralism, it's a stop-gap to prevent sliding into fascism.
Participatory Economics, Worker councils, worker self-management, Mutual Aid, Syndicalism, etc.
It would be even nicer if Conservatives stopped being Conservatives. The Overton Window needs to be moved way more to the left.
Wow, you are an awful person, lmao. You require people to remain in destitution because you anecdotally dealt with rude people? Perhaps they were rude because you're an awful person?
People work to improve their material conditions. Material conditions drive society, after all. Do you do household chores at all, or do you let everyone else do them for you?
Communal ownership of property is the only way to truly aim at fulfilling needs and desires, rather than the profit motive.
The bourgeoisie requires a risk of destitution to prevent the proletariat from rising up.
Commodification of necessities has led to perhaps the worst of modern problems.
IP shouldn't exist in general.
It's a form of Communism, hence Anarcho-Communism being the most "popular" form of Anarchism.
Communists typically side more with Marx over Bakunin, and believe in a state as owned and managed by the Proletariat being the best method by which to achieve the end goal of a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society.
Anarcho-Communists tend to side more with Bakunin over Marx, believing such a structure to be dangerous in and of itself, and seek more decentralized revolutionary change.
Anarchists additionally tend to believe Marx's analysis of Capitalism is good, but disagree on methods of achieving Communism. Anarchists aren't anti-Marx, but rather tend to be more post-Marxist.
Additionally, there are nuanced differences in Communist structures. In traditional Marxist belief, the Socialist State would build up the infrastructure for Communism before withering away and being maintained by a Communist society, whereas Anarcho-Communists tend to prefer systems of Mutual Aid, which are almost the same but just different strategy.
Useful, but not necessary. There are measures that can reasonably overcome the simpler answer of centralization.
Anarchism isn't simplicity, it's deceptively complex.
People with red hair would be burned, but to get to that point you have serious assumptions. That's akin to saying "what if in a Utopia, everyone decided to kill themselves for fun?" It's unrealistic and purely serves to derail the conversation against Democracy.
Bit of a false assumption, isn't that? There is no ethical consumption under Capitalism, so trying to advocate for better while participating in an unjust system is a requirement for many people.
That's just the general leftist experience. From Marxist-Leninists to Orthodox Marxists to Anarcho-Communists to Anarcho-Syndicalists to Democratic Socialists to Left Communists (ICP flavor) to Left Communists (Dutch/German flavor) to Libertarian Socialists to Market Socialists to Marxist-Leninist-Maoists to Dengists to Council Communists to everything in between, each seemingly hates the guts of the others.
Ask any one from each of these and they will all have a general "worker ownership of the Means of Production is good" base, with about a million different takes on what that actually means and what that actually looks like.
In general, I think it's safe to say that democracy is a good thing, decentralization helps protect against Authoritarianism, and moving towards a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society is a good thing. Until then, people should learn and improve their understanding as much as possible, teach others, organize local communities and unions, and work on self-improvement.
Yes, so we should decommodify housing.
