beverage posting to breach the tea coffee schism??

I think it's good that you're not numb to the sight

Wait, can he summon ghosts? What's up with the black-and-white victorian child?

Yea but consider this: number go up!

that's FUCKING right

in lighter Transgender Thursday posting, this week i finished reading "Transgender Australia: A History Since 1910" by Noah Riseman. It's a good book! Goes really in-depth. Highly recommend it. So often when queer histories are told it's from a very US-centric lens so i think region specific histories like this are important

Yeah those seem like pretty good times. I pick running back up each springtime and it's always more like, "very slow jogging" so I don't even record my times!

was it the mini wheats, the multigrain oat squares, or the golden grahams?

one of the best things to come out of vice going bankrupt tbh

I love 404Media; they receive $10 from me every month and they deserve it.

This is a great tip indeed because I would never have the patience to wait for bananas to go bad

i didn't know my insomnia had an account here

So THAT'S where it went...

I know a lot of Marxists love to engage in violent fantasies about what to do about anarchists and ancoms but the end world they both describe is very nebulous. It's not that different, to me.

Having things organized in some way is not against anarchist principles but online Marxists love to talk about purging them and shit idk it's so weird and aggro.

Note that non anarchist philosophies also struggle with the question of "how do we prevent our system from being taken over by the badguys?" Whether it's monarchists saying "this system works great if the monarch is good but the trick is to make sure a doofus doesn't become monarch", or democracies wondering how we can prevent a demagogue from taking power and abolishing the democracy via popular vote. Even communists have the same problem: whatever administration you set up, how do you prevent it from turning itself into something terrible that's bad for people?

So yes, anarchism doesn't solve it but nothing else does either, IMO.

I have not read up a huge amount but I think the standard answer is something along the lines of that anarchism does not mean lack of organising, just lack of hierarchy.

After a revolution there would still be larger structure and organising but would, ideally under an anarchistic viewpoint, be bottom-up, voluntary and truly democratic.

There’s a lot of different types of anarchism and lots of different answers to how this would theoretically work. E.g. anarcho-syndicalism is focused on the idea of anarchist trade unions seizing control of production.

How to prevent people concentrating and amassing power under these sorts of systems is obviously a big problem and I don’t think there’s any good answer other than you need mass class consciousness and people motivated against allowing that.

You should! It’s actually really easy to do. A tip: for the sweetest bread overripe bananas are best but an easy cheat is to mash yellow bananas and then keep them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Anarchists don't really have the same goal as Marxists, since the "classless, stateless society" the latter wants will still have an "administration of things", which is really just a state in disguise (but Marx doesn't call it as such because he only saw the state merely as a tool for class oppression) as it is a bureaucracy. Just another form of government.

The Raddle wiki has a page that deals with this myth: https://raddle.me/wiki/Marxism_End_Goal
