Anarchy is an absolute solution, I guess is what I'm trying to say
I think everyone here at the end of the day wants a solution and peace of some form
there is no left/right/center
there is only absence of coercion
using the term as a means to entice people to see truth is up to each person
but once they see and understand the truth, they will understand that there's no longer any need for political labels
There is voluntary means and involuntary means, never forget the difference, the lcu is alone in this, it all be like

We’re all trying to arrive at a similar destination, arguing about the vehicle is preventing us from getting there
The first one is a good meme, the second one is what most peopl would refer to as utopian 😂
Well, a bit hard when we all have different values
not everyone is trying to arrive at a similar destination though, that's the problem
Well, besides a syndicalist, we have an advocate from each position
Not that utopian tbh, even if it looks that way
😩
Me and Jonathan have a similar destination, just a different route
every single one of those branches other than LCU, Anarchist and Voluntarist are trying to arrive at an authoritarian destination
there's only one route to absolute liberty
Doesn’t mean they don’t agree with the platform, and that means they have changed that direction
abolishment of authority and the belief in it
My route is independence from the democrat north
Was hard left police state in my youth
In my youth, the economy was shit and I lived a shitty little shack house next to a junk yard and bar
My route showing everyone how the ways of current governments are barbaric and how we don’t need to do it this way anymore
current governments, or *all* governments?
I know the answer to this lol
just honing your speaking 😉
Government is a hierarchy of order, management isn’t bad, involuntary governance is bad
And true, but not for all with those words
this is a common misconception many anarchists have
govern necessarily requires a state, or an authority
The language of the LCU is key to its success, so what if the words we use convince people to look at it open minded, and see how this gets what they wanted all along, even if the path is different then they foresaw
Authority being key
by definition, that's why I absolutely *never* use the word govern, or any of its derivatives
General manager is an authority high up on a business governance setup, states have given a bad name to governance
I can see that
but do not use, specifically, the word government
Blame involuntary governance, governance in itself isn’t bad, but neither is sex, when you force it though, both are bad
right, but why use the term at all
Because, I don’t want to have to design a new word to say what there is one for, govern, governing, governance, and then government has a bad name where the others are understood, that’s why, words have meaning, but most who feel that way use some wrong, use a umbrella term as a word with meaning, and take words like centrism and say it has meaning without two things to put it in between, or take it as inbetween two parties instead of not limiting yourself to one platform, instead individually looking at issues, like voluntarist tbh
