did they ever think about who's gonna be in charge of removing, maintaining, and charging the shock collars for their security animals? or that the slave in charge of said maintenance might conspire with the security slaves resentful of being treated like dogs to trick and kill their former master? or did they think they were going to put the work in to learning and maintaining all of the myriad systems they would need to keep their apocalypse compound running and secure?

did they ever think that they have to open their stupid loving food safe to eat, and that that's a perfect time for security to rush in and kill them? or that their security team could just take them or their family hostage and torture them for the special food safe combination? or trick them out of it using the good cop/bad cop routine they've never once been subjected to in their entire pampered lives?

I'm not even an anarchist, and this is a huge misrepresentation of what anarchists believe.

I tried to give every leftist ideology I came accross a chance as I came to terms with how much most liberals suck, and at least for the big 2, anarcho-communism and anarcho-syndicalism, I really don't think it's all that unfair at all.

Anarcho-communism asserts if we knocked over national governments and, in particular, their enforcement of property rights, we'd end up with small groups of people who respect each other's basic needs and self organizing communes centered on mutual need.

I understand and appreciate this only it's supposed to work when there's a national (or international) ethos of ancom ideology the same way we have a current national ethos of democracy.

I see dozens of places in that ideology with exactly the problem I describe.

On NPR this morning I listened to Tom Carper talk about what we needed in an EPA administrator, and he literally could not say "environmental protection" without adding "economic growth" and I think even said something to the effect of, "We can't have the EPA destroy our auto industry"

Like what is even the point, if you're for all that just leave the soft dick party and be a Republican

They are scared to death of the Republican talking points

"We can't actually be a left party or the GOP would call us... *ulp*... socialists! :ohdear:"

I'd think that "they're gonna call you Stalin reborn regardless so just try to stand for something instead of nothing and let them say what they want" would be a lesson everyone had managed to learn by now but of course it isn't

explain to me then how a government can stop, for example, sex slaves from being exploited if it never knew they were actually in the country in the first place to see them disappear

same way anyone will notice if I disappear: because my neighbors haven't seen me or my dumbass dog in a while, I stopped showing up to work, and my bills aren't getting paid

documentation doesn't have fuckall to do with it, except for the part where we purposely drive undocumented people underground by pointlessly requiring documentation for things in order to exclude undocumented people from much of society

the reason undocumented immigrants are vulnerable isn't because they failed to get their papers stamped at the border, it's because they actively go out of their way to hide from authorities in order to avoid being disappeared by loving ICE

In that particular case, yeah, that parsed 100% as cowardice to me (mixed with normal politician sociopathy and not actually giving a gently caress about anything). He saw some lanyard's report that said "your base cares about environmentalism, but be careful not to give the opposition fuel to call you anti-business!!!" and he was like "oh me oh my, not anti-business :ohdear:"

nope. Carper is super pro-business. he was a New Democrat during their meteoric rise and has kept to their policies of tax cuts and corporate welfare business development and teacher-union-busting ever since
