The left is not statist, but i do not think it is hard to say that the anarchists would prefer the maintenance of republican elections before your petty dictatorship

Gay people called, theyre here to give you your anxiety back ( maybe do something about the balls)

Its not inevitable, I do think that anarchist syndicalism is the best vehicle for stopping this. We can change whats cool, we can be accepting and capture the zeitgeist with interesting social relations rather than purely technological developments.

Also desk fans are ok, i have one pointed at me rn

I think kind people should push for regional economic independance or at least verification of its viability and acknowledgement that they are working their fair share.

Then one can be sure that at least from your point of view, the exploited worldwide are free to choose their own fate, and you are not a leech.

Economic independence is a useful tool, in that when one is economically independant, it can also be determined for certain that any external law or force is unjust and not a component of livelyhood.

Its not the welfare policies its the tentacles in the global south and the violence that keeps that in place

I know reality can suck folk, but please, lets fix our basis first, thank you

Its not just caring though, in order to make waves with any of this stuff, you need to put effort in and that can scale to consume a lot of time for the people involved

And before someone says about their artistic content, I agree, the word toys does exclude that, however, just like toys, art MUST take second place to more industrial and violent matters

And yet they do consume resources, and even a small amount of resources ( which is not what is being spent on these toys) would be better spent on more serious matters

To be honest, I wish people would stop making toys so centric in their headspace, please put all of that effort into fighting surveillance instead or something of similar consequence

Hey maybe its somewhat closer to worker control than before 🤷 :P

yep, even going as far as to call the russian polity socialist :P

I mean, an explosion is a bit simpler than a polity, although I do agree that we should be aiming for political harmony, which I do not think will come from a state as means or ends

Ok at least this sub isnt as bad as “memes”, where you get banned for anything but leninist cultism

It is enough to buy 100 billion hours or more of minimum wage labour in many regions! I wonder what effect that could have!

the problem is the state

We can boycot banks that mandate android/ ios apps, we can put phones in faraday cages, we can form new cell operator companies, we can form unions and increase their political power and whilst the republican seats of power atrophy we can guide them by active participation into compassionate forms so they dont become a source of backlash. We can support companies like pinephone and librem for small handhelds if we want, we cant support risc-v, we can use gnu guix and bolster its usability to verify the validity of the software stack.

We have the potential future worker control to lose!! obviously

No please don’t post this stuff, the leninists are close to the nazis and deserve criticism!
