I know

2018-09-19 15:00:51 UTC  

It’s one of your sadder facts

2018-09-19 15:01:14 UTC  

they get the bullet too

2018-09-19 15:01:46 UTC  

They’re the cool communists.tm tho

2018-09-19 15:02:09 UTC  

They’re still communists

2018-09-19 15:02:25 UTC  

Just with some self awareness

2018-09-19 15:05:18 UTC  

they're the ones that believe in hierarchy and class

2018-09-19 15:05:20 UTC  

so idk

2018-09-19 15:05:53 UTC  

They understand that everyone is colored by the current situation and plan for an intermediate period between now and perfect communism

2018-09-19 15:06:29 UTC  

it doesn't work

2018-09-19 15:06:40 UTC  

and ppl die

2018-09-19 15:06:43 UTC  

Neither can taking everyone as they are now and putting them in anarchy

2018-09-19 15:07:08 UTC  

Many will also die from the sudden dissolving of hierarchy because they’ll try to reassert it

2018-09-19 15:07:13 UTC  

I don't think you understand how it would be implemented

2018-09-19 15:07:28 UTC  

do you think people are going to storm the Whitehouse with guns or something

2018-09-19 15:07:34 UTC  

No

2018-09-19 15:07:47 UTC  

I have no idea how it would be implemented

2018-09-19 15:07:54 UTC  

ok

2018-09-19 15:08:01 UTC  

well let me explain that to you

2018-09-19 15:08:05 UTC  

Isn’t the main theory just that tech or something will liberate people’s existence from the state

2018-09-19 15:08:16 UTC  

And then it will just kinda slough off

2018-09-19 15:09:51 UTC  

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.

2018-09-19 15:10:17 UTC  

Wouldn’t that just get crushed by the state

2018-09-19 15:10:41 UTC  

well we've seen this happen in other countries

2018-09-19 15:10:51 UTC  

Exarchia in Athens Greece is an example

2018-09-19 15:10:57 UTC  

Never heard of it

2018-09-19 15:11:16 UTC  

it's a really dope anarchist society basically

2018-09-19 15:11:30 UTC  

you should Google it

2018-09-19 15:12:59 UTC  

So it’s basically a chunk of Athens the government leaves alone

2018-09-19 15:13:43 UTC  

Why do they

2018-09-19 15:14:29 UTC  

yeah and they have like

2018-09-19 15:14:44 UTC  

free medical clinics with Doctors

2018-09-19 15:14:51 UTC  

like actually free

2018-09-19 15:15:04 UTC  

cool

2018-09-19 15:15:17 UTC  

also most buildings are squatted so there is no rent

2018-09-19 15:16:03 UTC  

:)

2018-09-19 15:16:58 UTC  

How many people live there

2018-09-19 15:17:06 UTC  

oh I'm not sure

2018-09-19 15:17:15 UTC  

I'm not even sure they'd keep track

2018-09-19 15:17:36 UTC  

but Athens is very densely populated

2018-09-19 15:17:57 UTC  

40% of people who live in Greece live in Athens
