  • Humans are collaborative. Collaboration includes violence. Hierarchies were created for allocating resources to rulers. Rulers restrict the capacity for violence of subjects reinforcing the hierarchy.

    Anarchists don’t see the hierarchies as beneficial to humans. Preserving a world without rulers requires violence. Decentralize violence.








  • Privatizing housing is the system that created the problem. Under the current system, housing is a commodity that can be bought and sold. Like any commodity, cornering the market leads to monopoly by which the only supplier is a cartel of a few private entities. Cartel because they work together to fix prices to their benefit.

    • What is the primary difference between just one guy and Blackstone?
    • Why does just one guy seem legitimate?
    • Why should we define property in a way that allows landlords to exist?

    I love the understanding nuance displayed in your post. Political groups I disagree with can have progressive and left ideas. The acknowledgment of political spectrums is also fantastic. Left and right do not capture the nuance difference in communism sought by ML’s and anarchists.

    I have been told ML’s don’t even want the same communism as anarchists. Moneyless, but the state and classes; that must be utilized for the revolution, my guy. Anarchists, by contrast, find the state and political class systemically flawed. May we build a better system than the state.


  • I don’t get it.

    Maybe the joke is nothing complex is written in fad languages?

    Maybe the joke is the discounting of peer review and testing?

    Maybe the joke is the lack of devops knowledge where Python is extra steps over other scripting languages?

    It seems like promotion of fad languages. When I was younger, I chased fads and lost hard. I’ll stick with C and C++. Run-time failures happen to everyone including fad languages. Here’s looking at you Rust CVE’s. Better to have loved and lost, something, something.




  • In the US, Obama’s administration was publicly against “boots on the ground” since it was largely unpopular in “liberal” circles after Bush’s “War on Terror”. Instead, Obama’s administration increased drone based missions to do the violent bidding of the owning class.

    “Liberals” may talk a great game about immigration reform, ending prisons like Guantanimo, net neutrality and protecting consumers from the owning class. When action is required “liberals” continue to advance the owning classes agenda using means that do not look bad to their base. Japanese internment camps were an executive order by a “liberal” President.

    This is US centric, but the issues are inherent to Liberalism. Historical non-fiction is a genre of book.



  • There are always slogans like: “property is theft”, “no gods, no masters” and “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”. I like to mention: “if you don’t work, you don’t eat” and apply it to the capitalist class.

    Once the dialog gets to labels, I am direct with everyone but police.

    I am an anarchist. I want to eliminate the state’s monopoly on violence and the heirarchy thereby imposed by said state. Humans are naturally social and collaborative.

    I am a communist. Workers own their labor and the means of production.

    Definitions solidify from there if the person cares to have a dialog on politcs and philosophy.
