warning they harm allies, not adversaries

Trumps allies are not American allies.

Another thing is google results. When I want a recommendation for anything I will add “Reddit” to my query. This is because I know it will return great recommendations and conversations that help me decide. Hopefully I will eventually be able to just use Lemmy for this.

Also, more active users means more niche communities. I just realized there’s a Severance community that is medium active. One less thing I need Reddit for.

Even Russia has elections

I love that they added chapters to make it easier to access the different scenarios.

As an American, I hope this continues.

Trump and Elon took office. Now all I see is Trump posts.

100%. They were never going to give support to Ukraine.

I gotcha. It just feels to me like there are so many opportunities for the capitalists to abuse this system for their own profit and power. People are easily manipulated, even when they think what they’re doing is for the good of the community.

Maybe the factory doesn’t sell, but it could still very much feed the capitalists through manipulation of the members of the council. My cynical view: It may not be immediate, but it will be inevitable.

Well, I don’t think a capitalist will call themselves a capitalist. I think they will have allies that get themselves appointed to the council and before we know it the factory is doing the bidding of the capitalists.

And yes, I am incredibly cynical (I blame the last 25 years), so I get that a less cynical perspective exists where this wouldn’t happen.

Is this a society without computers and other modern day electronics? Or do you think workers will be able to handle developing technology on their own?

So this anarchy is a self contained commune where nobody is allowed in that doesn’t agree with the rules. And if somebody breaks the rules, they must leave. This sums it up? It can’t apply to a country because that would never work. But to a small village, sure.

Also, hopefully the people outside the village don’t find ways of fucking with them (such as redirecting waterways that affect the downstream village).

You don’t think the capitalists would have the resources to defend themselves?

I just don’t understand how people think an anarchy can protect itself from capitalism.

Neither a company nor a person can own a factory, or a farm, or the power grid

And who is going to stop a company from owning a factory or a farm? It wouldn’t even require violence for a company to do so. It just requires them to have enough resources to pay people to do it.

I guess I don’t see what you call “anarchy” as a system that would ever exist more than a year. The end result would always be “anarcho-capitalism”. That, or, people would have to form their own government to prevent that system.

Worst case scenario the federal government gets sued and has to pay fines from taxes. That’ll show the billionaire ingrate!

So, do the anarchists not think that capitalism will just prevail and bring along with it the classes of the haves and have nots? Anarchy won’t solve the problem of wealth inequality, will it? I have genuinely never understood this aspect of anarchism.

Do anarchists think anarchy will result in a system with no classes?
