Latinx

viva la raza is literally 'live the race'

but it means 'life to the race'

I don't really regard cooperatives as socialism. They're voluntary and individual based, thus private. Socialism requires the forceful redistribution of property titles. If Socialists want to keep to their own, and LARP in their shitty communes, that's okay, just don't try to take other people's shit, or deny workers the right to enter contracts.

noooooooooooooooooooooo

the reality is that large scale social structures support small scale social structures which may not be possible without the material conditions created by the former

so nothing on the 'small scale' is really evidence for any system or other

i mean in favor

this goes for ancap arguments as well, not just socialism

when people say 'the market does x' etc. - it does it in particular context

True. Slab city isn't evidence that Anarchism could work on any large scale. Rojava isn't even Anarchist, and Revolutionary Catalonia was definitely not Anarchist.

however you don't necessarily have to be completely focused on the large scale

you could set your goals smaller

ppl are flawed , ppl being flawed means you must rule them with an iron fist to be good

Land owners being slaughtered, everyone being payed the same, unions controlling everything. The union bosses became shittier capitalists.

I wouldn't phrase it like that, SEEJ

I would say -

people will always have rulers

they can be benevolent or malevolent, interested or disinterested

The Republic of China recruited over 40 million troops into a volunteer army. That sounds like a government worth defending.

Exactly what Confucius envisioned. A government that represented its people, to the point that many were willing to die for it, even when not conscripted.

Friends bought me Mediations by Marcus Aurelius

COMFY AF

good frens are hard to find

how many friends (not family members) do you have that you would trust so far as to ask for help if you had killed someone

zero

#SAD!

I have one

maybe two

its wierd as an adult you have less and less frens

None, but I suppose you can't really gauge it. It depends on who you killed and for what reason.

If you have a good reason to murder someone, then they might be sympathetic, but if you killed sombody totally innocent, like a kid, your family member is just as evil if they defend you.

ok we'll put it this way

you're in trouble with the mob, and anyone you ask for help will be exposed to that as well
