“Slowly, I told myself that evolution failed itself by giving a bit more individual selfishness over community/species survival.”
There are a lot of great answers here already, but I would like to put forth the anticapitalist position that the quote above is likely false. Humans can work together, we have developed systems of cooperation that can deter selfishness from destroying a community. This is possible (and despite decades of propaghanda…popular!) What is stopping it is the greed for wealth and power of the 1% at the expense of everyone else and the planet. The masses of people are constantly trying to stop this, and mostly fail. But cracks in their power do open occasionally, and you just have to do what you can until a Crack is available for you to help widen. I think it’s possible to win, but not through personal lifestyle changes and voting alone. Only through activism and protest is it possible. Most humans keep trying to solve this, and that gives me hope.
Charlotte might be earth’s most confusing city.
Ah too bad. 14/14 is Super Heaven
my guess is that later we will hear “gosh darnit we really tried with the food and it didn’t quite get there” meanwhile not one arms shipment will ever be late.
This is Biden creating a headline to try to slow down or stop people from becoming aware that he is (along with the rest of our govt) committing genocide
God its so fucking tone deaf to post shit like this. It’s one thing to reluctantly support Biden but to cheerlead him while he massacres thousands is beyond gross.
Counter measures against warlordism would be crucial for effective anarchism for sure!
I think the easiest approach to anarchism is searching for Chomsky talking about it.
This is correct. If society becomes a place where a few people are running everything by force it is not anarchy, even if technically there are no written down laws. A lot of anarchist philosophy is about how to achieve and maintain anarchy without it devolving back into hierarchical power structures. There are a lot of different ideas that have spawned their own subgenre of anarchy. I personally think some checks and balances combination of unions and community councils is the most likely to succeed. This is anarcho-syndicalism.
Kind of a cutesy medium if true
