well i looked up the definition of personal property

2018-07-24 23:18:11 UTC  

and it said about things that u can move

2018-07-24 23:18:19 UTC  

which doesnt include buildings?

2018-07-24 23:18:27 UTC  

its wikipedia but yeah

2018-07-24 23:18:28 UTC  

Essentially we're after factories and workplacea

2018-07-24 23:18:35 UTC  

hmm

2018-07-24 23:19:14 UTC  

"Personal property includes 'items intended for personal use' (e.g., clothes, homes, and vehicles, and sometimes money). It must be gained in a socially fair manner, and the owner has a distributive right to exclude others."

2018-07-24 23:19:21 UTC  

from the wikipedia article

2018-07-24 23:19:24 UTC  

^

2018-07-24 23:19:55 UTC  

so basically personal property is what you own for your personal use

2018-07-24 23:20:04 UTC  

oh shit

2018-07-24 23:20:22 UTC  

No worries we aren’t gonna steal your toothbrush

2018-07-24 23:20:26 UTC  

:3

2018-07-24 23:20:28 UTC  

thank

2018-07-24 23:21:06 UTC  

ive been looking into anarchism but i might not agree on some/all things

2018-07-24 23:21:09 UTC  

We're opposed to private property because owning a workplace means the owner can do whatever they please with it no matter how disgustingly exploitative it is

2018-07-24 23:21:17 UTC  

Fair enough

2018-07-24 23:21:33 UTC  

[insert a photo of a sweatshop here]

2018-07-24 23:21:41 UTC  

Pretty much

2018-07-24 23:22:19 UTC  

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?
