Hell, freedom itself is a dumb word
Yes, people worrying about where to sleep and eat makes them less free, it's a loaded gun pushing them into actions they would otherwise not take
Define freedom
Living in a commune with my communist friends
That doesn't answer anything
That is true freedom
Okay, so freedom of association
You and your friends
Yes freedom from landlords
oppresive forces of the market
freedom from government
You can still be 100% free and still need to worry about food and shelter. After all, if you were out in a perfect state of nature you are "free" but you are not free from consequences
Okay. But do you have the right to impose that on someone who's not your friend?
@-5K- Only if resources are poorly alocated in our commune they won't be right komrad?
@Fitzydog Yes.
Because it's freedom
How?
Anything else is just not freedom
So it's not freedom of association.
You define freedom as 'free from the oppression of reality' or something
There is no such thing as absolute freedom. It is something simply unsustainable and impossible to achieve
No land lords
Yeah, freedom is a weird undefined word at this point.
Aaaand now I know you're just a troll
Anarcho Communism on paper is perhaps the closest thing to freedom
however unattainable
Freedom (in the way I assume we are talking about) doesn't mean being free from want or need, just free from the coercion and power of others. And yes it in its perfect form is unattainable
Anarcho Communism is way more free than anarcho capitalism for example
indeed
the market oppresses and forces people into actions not desirable, it's literally a loaded gun forcing people to be slaves while their bosses steal all their labour
The closest thing to freedom would be going out in the wild with no one else around and with no one else knowing nor caring about you
The yeah, we don't have anywhere close to the same definition of freedom
@-5K- a state of nature
One cannot be free while individuals profit from others work
I can't be free unless I have the ability to pay people for their work
Pay? Why'd you need to pay someone when there is no market?
You can still be free with others profiting off of your work if you voluntarily consent for them to do that
@Fitzydog An ideal government would be something close to the Paris commune
An ideal govt is one in which I have a giant wall around my town and I get to hang commies from crosses out front
The wall was only there because liberals don't like freedom of association
That makes zero sense but OK retard
