I guess that they think that anarchy will just happen overnight, without any loss of infrastructure and workers will take over factories and hospitals autonomously and everything will be more or less as now, but free from oppression etc

2019-11-29 13:23:19 UTC  

It definitely is when there is someone with you who wants it 😄

2019-11-29 13:23:33 UTC  

But I did not have that opportunity in a very long time

2019-11-29 13:24:06 UTC  

same, haven't met an anarchist ever since I left high school

2019-11-29 13:24:09 UTC  

I put it down among all the other ideologies that only work when you are 15 and "seem cool"

2019-11-29 13:25:35 UTC  

shame these seem to be lasting with people well into adulthood nowadays

2019-11-29 13:26:00 UTC  

Some war would quickly fix that

2019-11-29 13:26:42 UTC  

hard times make strong men, ... and all that

2019-11-29 13:27:06 UTC  

when they don't have problems in their life, they'd rather create them

2019-11-29 13:27:10 UTC  

Makes people grateful for what they have when they realize how quickly life can be extinguished

2019-11-29 13:27:18 UTC  

Dragon, I don't think that problem with anarchists is very new

2019-11-29 13:28:01 UTC  

Sounds like the description of Twitter

2019-11-29 13:28:20 UTC  

Or social media in general lol

2019-11-29 13:28:21 UTC  

Which is my main source of left-wing lunacy

2019-11-29 13:28:27 UTC  

I once read about pre-civil war Spain and it seems that they were busy assassinating important folks back then

2019-11-29 13:29:06 UTC  

Not even communists (though these would become friends later on), just "anarchists"

2019-11-29 13:30:00 UTC  

I would imagine that's a common first step, if not a required one. How else will you forcibly remove people from power without bloodshed?

2019-11-29 13:30:41 UTC  

Doesn't matter how big of guns you have

2019-11-29 13:32:21 UTC  

A massive horde will typically win against those with power

2019-11-29 13:32:36 UTC  

good luck telling people that they don't deserve to things they've earned over the course of their lives and try to take them without force

2019-11-29 13:32:57 UTC  

just try to convince the majority that anarchism the way to go

2019-11-29 13:33:07 UTC  

good luck with that...

2019-11-29 13:34:07 UTC  

that's probably why guilt is such a common weapon these days, demoralise people into thinking they need to give things up to repent for their crimes imagined up by others

2019-11-29 13:34:16 UTC  

Even if you have loads of shit governments for centuries like the Germans, anarchism never really gains major traction

2019-11-29 13:34:57 UTC  

The "Gibs more" or "Gibs me that" mentality

2019-11-29 13:35:05 UTC  

I enjoy endlessly how some anarchists and communists (henceforth, "commies") think that the workers are with them, then finding out that they really are not and after that changing the terms that "workers" is basically anyone who has a useless university degree and agree with them on everything

2019-11-29 13:35:57 UTC  

hence why gender studies became a thing ^^^

2019-11-29 13:36:29 UTC  

It's also a dead end degree lol

2019-11-29 13:36:37 UTC  

that's what makes it amusing, the willful blindness that they wouldn't be the first enemy of the workers in their supposed communist utopia

2019-11-29 13:36:40 UTC  

Hey

2019-11-29 13:36:47 UTC  

Keep it down

2019-11-29 13:37:28 UTC  

What?

2019-11-29 13:37:55 UTC  

Onto the topic of college

2019-11-29 13:38:08 UTC  

What's the say on that

2019-11-29 13:38:12 UTC  

I just recently got into university

2019-11-29 13:38:21 UTC  

but most folks seem to be anti-communist here

2019-11-29 13:38:32 UTC  

I'm in my last year of my bachelor degree in game art

2019-11-29 13:38:33 UTC  

it's a business focused Uni 😄

2019-11-29 13:38:46 UTC  

That's probably why then lol

2019-11-29 13:38:50 UTC  

we got a good mix of feminism and people who hate their guts

2019-11-29 13:39:15 UTC  

At this stage I don't think I'd want to go to uni, feels like you have to be more careful than ever picking one without a crazy population
