  • argument through analogy is a logical fallacy, I’m not going to engage that.

    you’ve yet to convince me that further entrenching capitalism (which requires scarcity to the extent that it will create it where there need be none, and demands endless quarterly growth within a limited system) is a solution to the environmental destruction to which it contributes.

    it seems to me as though you would like to eat your cake and have it too.

    private ownership of capital is a race to the bottom, leading inevitably to unsustainable extraction of natural resources. The latter won’t be halted or reversed without abolishing the former.

    we need power to be distributed horizontally, not continue to be concentrated in fewer and fewer actors.

    how? abolish the standing beaurocratic heirarchy which perpetuates and expends its own power and the interest of the ruling class by inflicting violence on the working class. what that looks like depends on how the people who make up a community choose to govern themselves.

    realistically I don’t expect a revolution of the proletariat to take place, so I promote the institution of robust mutual aid networks, radical solidarity (organized labor, intersectional liberatory philosophy), and resilient autonomous communities, to compete with the prevailing system of power.

    attempts at anarchist-adjacent organizing have existed, and continue to in some communities, though of course execution varies, as does identity.

    the USSR was not an attempt towards a stateless society, being a state-capitalist imperialist kleptocracy.
