Do you think a large group of people would be able to manage a business?

2018-07-24 23:22:20 UTC  

Personally, I recommend The Ego And It's Own by Stirner as it's a nice intro to anarchism

2018-07-24 23:22:30 UTC  

If you think about anarchism

2018-07-24 23:22:50 UTC  

As long as it's motivated by profit and not the betterment of society then no

2018-07-24 23:23:08 UTC  

its like loads of people all doing one thing

2018-07-24 23:23:13 UTC  

how can you organise that

2018-07-24 23:23:26 UTC  

co-ops have been shown to work pretty efficiently (I’m not expert though)

2018-07-24 23:23:44 UTC  

people work together because it's better for them

2018-07-24 23:23:59 UTC  

in anarchism it's incredibly beneficial to cooperate with others

2018-07-24 23:24:02 UTC  

Good examples of organization of anarchists would include Paris Commune and Free Territory

2018-07-24 23:24:32 UTC  

But it should be noted that the material conditions between both and present times are vastly different

2018-07-24 23:24:40 UTC  

Are anarchists worried about religion?

2018-07-24 23:24:45 UTC  

No

2018-07-24 23:24:46 UTC  

Plus you don’t exactly need to profit from it if there is no currency

2018-07-24 23:24:53 UTC  

Just keep it too yourself

2018-07-24 23:25:14 UTC  

If there are no nations meaning no borders, whos to say that muslims wont try to convert the populations for example

2018-07-24 23:25:40 UTC  

Why specifically Muslims?

2018-07-24 23:25:54 UTC  

Religions are always trying to convert people, not exclusive to Islam

2018-07-24 23:25:58 UTC  

Religion comes from the top elites to brainwash and control the lower classes

2018-07-24 23:26:02 UTC  

They're prolly the most likely to do that kind of thing

2018-07-24 23:26:13 UTC  

And isnt religion a tool to control the masses?

2018-07-24 23:26:38 UTC  

It's grandfathered in and the only way to kill off religion is to kill off the system

2018-07-24 23:26:47 UTC  

I mean I guess that’s fair, as Islam is that kind of philosophy

2018-07-24 23:27:06 UTC  

Anyways I don’t mind if people have their beliefs as long as it’s decentralized

2018-07-24 23:27:11 UTC  

isnt it authority too which is against anarchy? surely its not justified authority if there is no proof of the god being real for example

2018-07-24 23:27:28 UTC  

Quakerism should replace orthodoxy IMO

2018-07-24 23:27:48 UTC  

AnarchoQuakerism when

2018-07-24 23:28:05 UTC  

Seize the means of Quaker Oats

2018-07-24 23:28:37 UTC  

Quaker Oats Guy is a filthy kulak

2018-07-24 23:28:45 UTC  

We need to seize the means of Quaker Oats

2018-07-24 23:29:51 UTC  

do the amish count as a working anarchist society?

2018-07-24 23:30:14 UTC  

I mean kinda?

2018-07-24 23:30:23 UTC  

They don’t have the benefits of modern tech tho

2018-07-24 23:30:32 UTC  

In a socialist society are doctors paid the same amount as bakers?

2018-07-24 23:30:33 UTC  

So it’s like Anarchism but less efficient

2018-07-24 23:31:13 UTC  

@gangweed well ideally there wouldn't be any money so neither of them would be paid

2018-07-24 23:31:16 UTC  

I’m not an expert of the economic side so I’m not really fit to answer these questions

2018-07-24 23:31:47 UTC  

Would the population rely on people WANTING to be doctors for there to be any?

2018-07-24 23:32:18 UTC  

well we kind of do now

2018-07-24 23:32:27 UTC  

I don't think many people become doctors for the income

2018-07-24 23:32:36 UTC  

Are you sure? 😃
