I'm not a tankie?
I know
It’s one of your sadder facts
they get the bullet too
They’re the cool communists.tm tho
They’re still communists
Just with some self awareness
they're the ones that believe in hierarchy and class
so idk
They understand that everyone is colored by the current situation and plan for an intermediate period between now and perfect communism
it doesn't work
and ppl die
Neither can taking everyone as they are now and putting them in anarchy
Many will also die from the sudden dissolving of hierarchy because they’ll try to reassert it
I don't think you understand how it would be implemented
do you think people are going to storm the Whitehouse with guns or something
No
I have no idea how it would be implemented
ok
well let me explain that to you
And then it will just kinda slough off
anarchism is a very communal and local thing. an example I could see in the United States is maybe a neighborhood coming together and forming self organized community defenses so they wouldn't have to call the police. they also could continue and secede further from the state.
Wouldn’t that just get crushed by the state
well we've seen this happen in other countries
Exarchia in Athens Greece is an example
Never heard of it
it's a really dope anarchist society basically
you should Google it
So it’s basically a chunk of Athens the government leaves alone
Why do they
yeah and they have like
free medical clinics with Doctors
like actually free
cool
also most buildings are squatted so there is no rent
:)
How many people live there
oh I'm not sure
I'm not even sure they'd keep track
but Athens is very densely populated
