It isn’t how stupid, ignorant or uneducated people in government are, those are all foibles I can accept as part of people being human, it is the violent response to the very concept of a spontaneous joyful curiosity to learn and know new things while letting them be, that I cannot.
All im asking is for standards. Idiots is maybe too broad a term but Im wish casting not making policy.
ok but this is like reddit my job is to find the most narrow, tangential thing wrong with what OP says and bikeshed about it
Wish granted, now you have smart, and truly evil people in the government.
Ill take it over this shit.
You’d rather right wing lunatics be competent and better at destroying the world?
He said smart, that discludes any conservatives.
Just abolish states entirely, its much easier
Yay, I can be bullied by the local idiots instead of idiots abroad.
No, you can have a horizontal structure that doesn’t give anyone power over you and meets your needs.
And who keeps the warlords at bay?
If literally everyone’s needs are met, why would anyone side with a warlord?
Hmm I can participate in society with basically zero obligations other than “mind my own business”, or I can give up all my power to a strongman.
Obviously communes are able to defend themselves, I don’t know why you seem to think they wouldn’t.
Go read some theory and get back to me. Theanarchistlibrary.org is right there
If literally everyone’s needs are met, why would anyone side with a warlord?
Because everyone’s needs being met =/= everyone’s desires being met.
Why not?
We’ve already established community self defense to deter would-be warlords. Your life, yes yours idgaf who you are, would be better under anarchism.
People have wants more than needs when needs are largely met. You are imagining a humanity that simply does not exist.
Again, how are you going to deal with a band of assholes that want to TAKE from you?
Authoritarians create crisis then claim power. It doesnt matter if everyone’s needs are being met. They will create chaos and then become the savior, being, “the only one who can fix it” ignoring the fact they created the problem in the first place.
Yes, and what part of not having cops or a government with authrity to reduce certain peoples’ freedom would prevent assholes from creating perceived crises to take advantage of?
