something like phones we have so many of that not all of them can be used at once

2019-03-16 01:55:47 UTC  

no need to share

2019-03-16 01:56:03 UTC  

though we *could* go further and say things like game consoles or tvs can be shared

2019-03-16 01:56:11 UTC  

even though it's largely unneeded

2019-03-16 01:56:26 UTC  

Well

2019-03-16 01:56:29 UTC  

the sharing would cut down on production which can help drive a sustainable economy

2019-03-16 01:56:43 UTC  

if a group wants to be in power they can do it just like that

2019-03-16 01:56:44 UTC  

usually anarchists are also anti-consumption

2019-03-16 01:56:54 UTC  

right

2019-03-16 01:56:59 UTC  

anarchists don't want to be "in power"

2019-03-16 01:57:03 UTC  

we want to live freely

2019-03-16 01:57:49 UTC  

IMO having everyone able to live comfortably and freely is much more important than letting a minority enforce their will onto others

2019-03-16 01:58:11 UTC  

it's a long road to get to the world I envision, but IMO it's worth it

2019-03-16 01:58:28 UTC  

Not everyone is an anarchist tho

2019-03-16 01:58:54 UTC  

and some people will want power

2019-03-16 01:58:57 UTC  

and get it easily

2019-03-16 01:58:57 UTC  

the question I hve for those people is: why?

2019-03-16 01:59:04 UTC  

why do you wish to inflict violence on others

2019-03-16 01:59:07 UTC  

and make them your slave?

2019-03-16 01:59:10 UTC  

For power

2019-03-16 01:59:22 UTC  

and you're fine being a slave?

2019-03-16 01:59:26 UTC  

no

2019-03-16 01:59:29 UTC  

but what can i do

2019-03-16 01:59:32 UTC  

someone must be the slave

2019-03-16 01:59:35 UTC  

if im anti violence

2019-03-16 01:59:45 UTC  

i cant rebel against this group

2019-03-16 01:59:53 UTC  

being against the idea of inflicting violence is not the same as defending yourself

2019-03-16 01:59:59 UTC  

but yes

2019-03-16 02:00:03 UTC  

so say we have an anarchist society

2019-03-16 02:00:09 UTC  

and the US is a collective of anarchists

2019-03-16 02:00:16 UTC  

then places like syria still exist

2019-03-16 02:00:32 UTC  

Ok thats horrible

2019-03-16 02:00:37 UTC  

they can just invade

2019-03-16 02:00:39 UTC  

us

2019-03-16 02:00:43 UTC  

it's not anarchist to then invade syria

2019-03-16 02:00:51 UTC  

sure but that doesn't happen lol

2019-03-16 02:01:07 UTC  

and of course defense systems can be built

2019-03-16 02:01:43 UTC  

How?

2019-03-16 02:01:46 UTC  

if you look at places like canada, new zealand, etc they don't ever really get into wars with other countries

2019-03-16 02:01:54 UTC  

?

2019-03-16 02:02:00 UTC
