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
If people aren’t given the opportunity, how will they change, think about me
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
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
Manage is a voluntary term that can be used in place of govern
Government implies top down authority
Centrist can be replaced, quite literally, with voluntaryist/voluntarist
He's using the name to draw people in
top down authority is not inherently bad, as long as it's voluntary
right, and I have a problem with that
As do I
well, I don't have a "problem" with it, per se
but I don't think it's necessary; if someone's interested in legitimate freedom, a *carrot and stick* shouldn't be necessary
Romerlin and Jonathon are trying to help reverse hard indoctrination, so the terms he uses are what they're used to
Hence why he has to use them
or they I mean
I understand 100%
Hence why he and Romerlin use them .
I'm just not willing to use manipulation to achieve my goals
What?
