I'm not really batting an eye about executing previous police forces/billionnaires, but I guess I pause a little at 'drug guy'. Yes I'm aware it was a lot of drugs, and they were the lovely kind, but it just makes me wonder if he would have gotten killed for a bunch of weed too. I definitely still think that a post-revolution world that the death penalty should not be a thing, but I also agree that in a lot of these conflicts, one of the problems I see with the eventual downfall of whatever socialist group gets in power is that they were TOO forgiving of their enemies, who came back (usually with american support) and overthrew them.

Many westerners see drug enforcement as a system of oppression because that's how it's been used against us, while others see drugs themselves as a system of oppression because that's how it's been used against them

I mean if Pu-Yi, literal Emperor of China, colonialist collaborator, and really hosed up guy, could be reformed into a loyal Communist citizen, I find it hard to believe it's literally impossible to reform a great proportion of the bourgeoisie by way of Gulag. Now of course I understand that in a hypothetical revolution when the bullets are flying you don't exactly have the time to stop and handcuff everyone, I shed no tears for the Tsar after all, but I'm hesitant to say that after you've gained power you have to kill literally everyone who ever owned a factory. Some of them yeah you might though after a trial.

however, even though this magazine tries to be interesting, it nevertheless has principles. it is, for example, firmly against the hurting of human beings by other human beings. that position evidently makes us "of the left," though not of the one that puts people in labor camps and enjoys sing-a-longs. we are not like the marxists, with their unicausal explanations and their ominous rhetoric of bloodshed. we are not like the anarchists, who cannot organize an anarchist bookfair, let alone a revolution

As an anarchist, I recognize and despise the existence of hierarchical conditions outside strict economic advantage. That purity of vision is why I intend to fire everyone who wants a more democratic structure at our workplace. You see I'm not paid any more than you, and...

started poking around current affairs 'cause i've never paid it any attention and the recent drama caught my attention and and lmao how could principled brain geniuses of this caliber managed to blow up such a cushy gig? a mystery for the agesIs a utopian pacifistic society possible? The lives of manatees show that it is possible to live without violence or the state. Nathan J. Robinson posted:In the manatee, we can see a model for how life can be conducted without brutality or cruelty. A social utopia is clearly possible, because a species with vastly less intelligence and ability already lives in one. If the manatee can get through a dangerous world without hurting a soul, and without being hurt itself, why can’t we? The manatee is a living reminder that we have no excuses for not being good, and they present a vision of a natural existence that is not built on the most brutal and competitive type of Darwinian struggle. In the manatee’s world, it is not kill or be killed. The point of life is to drift along slowly and live amiably alongside one another. Oneiros has issued a correction as of 06:17 on Aug 20, 2021 |
