They are absolutely on defence and i’m aware they are around, but the mexican government is actively trying to destroy them
you really didn’t realize that the fact that they’re still around undermines, not strengthens your argument huh?
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
If you mean the zapatistas… duhhh? They were an anarchist movement within a country, they were attacked by the country they were founded in, and their enforcers were held in rotation and decided on by a fully public discussion that anyone in the community could attend, this is fully anarchist.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
Ah yes, such trivialities like the answer to your conundrum are meaningless to someone as proudly ignorant on a topic as yourself. My bad.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
See: the zapatistas and revolutionary catalonia for examples of anarchist societies.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
No they’re saying the spleen harvesters are NOT anarchists at all.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
A democratic power structure is decentralized.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
Give one historical example of this happening to an anarchist commune?
also anarchists have all of those legal frameworks in place as well, this is simply not true and has no historical basis.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
There is a legal recourse, you’re saying someone with power ignored the law and attempted a coup… do you think coups don’t happen in non anarchist countries? How is this unique to anarchism in any way?
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
The same thing that happens anywhere else? A power struggle between the people who want it and don’t? Are you implying this is unique to anarchism in some way? I don’t see why it would be.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
No and I don’t see how that is relevant or comparable.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
usually anarchists advocate for elected or rotational positions for policing.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
you simultaneously hope that no anarchist philosophers agree with you, and use a definition that says
“the advocacy or practice of anarchistic principles”
Who established anarchistic principles, exactly, if not anarchists?
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
the definitions in the dictionary you provided conflict, how do you explain that, if not that they are not synonyms?
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
but not for “anarchism”
1 : a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups 2 : the advocacy or practice of anarchistic principles
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
but the dictionary does use one similar to the academic definition…
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anarchism
if we use dictionary.com
“the principles or practice of anarchists”
so you’re wrong by your own source
anarchist thinkers, philosophers and academics should obviously get to define the term, no? Dictionaries are often wrong in countless ways for academic usage because the meaning of words are often more complex than can be summarized in one paragraph, dictionaries are not ultimate references, and ANYONE can create a dictionary, these are not academically primarily sourced documents these are what some guy thinks a word means based on a survey of some people who claim to, in no way shape or form should dictionaries be used in place of foundational documents and the notion that they are perfect and the best way to derive the meaning of any word is false…
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 1 week ago:
…you deliberately want to use a definition that precisely zero anarchist philosophers or thinkers use for anarchist thought?
That seems rather… silly? How can you critique or even talk about the ideas of anarchism without using the definition anarchists actually use? Do you expect anarchists to use a different term than the one already established in the literature?
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 2 weeks ago:
Which anarchist philosophers or anarchists agree with you?

Ah, so it’s not that you want it for any functional purpose, you just think it would be cheaper, understood.

My thinking is that having a desktop, laptop and phone that sync data to eachother accomplishes all of that and will do it better because they’re designed for their usecase, why not that?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Why though?

No, the machine will and so would a conscious one. you misunderstand. This isn’t an area where a conscious machine wins.
