Yeah. Bring on the emancipatory technologies.

All the technologies that can emancipate us, each and all.

Y'know...

All those technologies that are suppressed by capitalists to maintain their crippling extortionate rents that happen to be very polluting too.

And to, oh, y'know, undo all the McCarthyian redscare psyop that conflates anarcho-communism with totalitarian communism and presents capitalism as the system that frees them.

"Ferengi don't want to end the exploitation. They want to become the exploiters." -- Rom

Would be a lot easier once people stop falling for all the "advertising and marketing".

Or if someone just decides to provision everybody with spaceships of their own. Each capable of printing another of itself instantly, sustain life, with zero-point energy powered zero-inertia propulsion, safe enough for a 2 year old to fly home. I hear these already exist (for about a century now). Could have not just "disclosure", but radical provisioning sublimation. Do you have spaceships yet? And the reassurance everybody else does too so they're not trying to take yours?

Probably a lot of fake anarchists paid (or duped) to give anarchism a bad name, to give people the wrong idea about what anarchism is, to turn them away from mutual freedom for each and all, back into the arms of daddy corporatarchy government.

Like that malarch in this thread, saying they wanted to kill 37% of everybody, because anarchism. `_`

Not my anarchism.

Not even anarchism.

Malarchy.

Mal,

Archy.

lack of a mechanism against returnung to capitalist production

Well, AnCaps are in a mechanism to return to capitalist production (and the consolidation of wealth towards corporatism, monopoly, and fascism).

So the anarchists to the left of that are doing better, even if it's true that they have no mechanism against returning to capitalist production.

The philosophy, may be sufficient, without mechanism or overly structuralist strategies. And the more everybody's empowered, the easier and more sure that may be.

Yup. Once again, malarchy masquerading as anarchy. Cui Bono.

Taliban

Remember when the CIA funded and armed what became the Taliban?

Remember when the CIA had their guy running the Taliban?

... Because we should all be concerned about lemons.

Tell me something that doesn't concern me.

Hrmm, I wonder if I'm getting an ingrown toe nail.

Foresight: Still can.

I learned this much:

I learned the education system is a lie.

3 times they bait and switched me:

  1. From standard grade chemistry, promised to educate on chemistry, the whole periodic table, etc... Higher chemistry, they trained us to be industry drones, focusing on hydrocarbons only.

  2. From Art & Design 1st year college, promised to educate on art, all art... 2nd Year, knitting. (WTF).

  3. From Computer Art 2nd year college, promised to educate on all computer arts... 3rd year, web design. (WTF).

I gave up on formal education after that (~ a decision that was further confirmed by other fails noticed in that last year).

In the following year, I learned more on my own with an internet connection and a library card, than I had learned in the entire prior 14 years of formal "education".

You start.
