      You know what my eyes are opened too —capitalism is when hard working Americans get all the capital and communist leeches aren’t allowed to steal it just because they’re in charge.

      You know what goes well with capitalism? Democracy! You vote on your sheriff, so why vote for who your boss is at work, and how many sick days everyone gets? Let’s go full capitalist!

      And we’ll protect our gloriously fought victory with a vanguard enforcing conformity to support the eventual relinquishing of power to the proletariat once there is no longer class and we have expanded our stateless society worldwide, thus vanquishing borders!

      Just need to kill off done rabble rousing anarchists first…

        The vanguard is the proletariat, just the organized section of it. They do not constitute their own class, they come from the proletariat and have the same relations to ownership of the Means of Production. The vanguard is not to “relinquish power,” but instead raise up the level of political education of the rest of the proletariat to their level.

        The thing where a warlord tells you what to do? No, death to anarchy, instead let’s have a society where hierarchies are abolished and org charts are all rhizomatic and voluntary, with vigilant critiques of power differential with an eye to equalizing them as much as possible?

          Anarchy is a society completely free from government, coercive authority, or imposed hierarchies. While it is popularly misunderstood to mean chaos or lawlessness, it actually advocates for a system based on voluntary cooperation, self-organization, and mutual aid among individual

              Armed militias and unchecked gangs of armed thugs hired for enforcement and security.

              Then again, we’re both thinking way too far ahead. Who’s producing medicine and opiates in an anarchist society?

                in a classless society, how can anyone employ anyone else? I think you’re lost, and you should wander back to a liberal conclave

                    I don’t believe the entire world can work on the honor system, but I would agree were it possible. There will always be some dude in 300 trying to step on the other 299.

                  In a classless society, how is anyone cared for if no one has the intrinsic motivation to do so? Because it’s the nice thing to do? Lmao.

                  The main issue with anarchism is that absolute freedom for you is a double-edged battle-axe. It assumes all people are good and trustworthy without any guardrails if they aren’t.
