DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU :love::love::love: JOE BIDEN
OP I think you should decide whether this is a thread for talking about socialism or a thread for you to explain your anti-government beliefs because those two purposes are very obviously going to interfere with each other.

As far as what socialism is, I think its pointless to try and define an ideology without historicizing it. This is especially true in the case of socialism, which is often linked to a specific historical project deriving from a series of revolutions in countries around the Atlantic Ocean and later Asia. I think socialism will be hard to talk about coherently outside of that context.

OP, it's 2019, you're a functioning adult with a day job, you already know somewhere in the back of your mind that a stateless society is totally unworkable, and yet you're still wasting mental energy fantasizing about back to the land libertarian homesteading bullshit when the entire planet has maybe a decade left to pull out of its climate change death spiral.
