You know people can refuse right? the state doesn't torture their families or anything.
No matter how weird and repulsive you think your desires are I promise you there's a community of people who will ERP with you.
You actually should dismiss the ideas of prominent eugencists with track records of being consistently wrong in deeply offensive ways through the power of never undergoing any sort of education or consultation in fields they nonetheless feel qualified to write authoritatively on.
Hey chatgpt how should I feel about this?
Deepseek could you fuck my wife for me?
Z.ai describe being enriched by the experience of reading poetry.
A right winger misrepresentating a situation to appear more sympathetic? Say it ain't so.
The luddites were proud artisans pushed too far by capitalists refusing to negotiate in good faith and governments refusing to take measures to ensure that technology was deployed in a pro-social fashion. So, yeah I suppose we are.
Nooo lining up toy soldiers and wasting everyone's time is good when the more effective government does it.
What are you talking about? The only currently extant anarchish communities are in places where states are weak. Anarchists in places with highly centralised states tend to get attacked by everyone, and that's a serious problem you can't just vibes away.
Wars, even ones you win, are a tremendous drain. States tend to suck at fighting non states, but that doesn't mean it's conducive to human flourishing for the non state people. States are also moronically optimistic about their ability to "productively" war.
This isn't some fringe concern. There's any number of proposals you can read on anarchists library about how to deal with this.
It has nothing to do with being failed. If you wanted to start a democratic collective in manorialist times then yes, figuring out how not to get invaded was very important.
Lemmy has just ruined the word tankie but if you are referring to the more militant/dogmatic MLs then I would agree that I think a search for "realistic" solutions drives some of the more concerning/ardent believers.
Finding a way to defend yourself without reinventing the machinery of the state is certainly one of the larger practical problems facing anarchism.
You do get that if I threaten to kill you unless you kill more people that you are actually culpable if you take the latter option right?
