Anarchy is about living. Its against anything that that stops folks from actually living and thriving. It does so by maximizing peoples autonomy in their lives and by giving them actual self determination. For this we have to look at every part of our lives, our society, our world and scrub it free from domination. TBH just what crimethinc says in To Change Everything - an anarchist appeal lol
Is there a specific line of the song that you mean or do you mean the “River to the sea” title/chrorus? Just checking if there is anything I might have missed.
But besides that, calling for the end of an state is a pretty normal anarchist thing to do and something I wish for all states in general and for states like Canada, USA, Israel and similar ones in particular because of the settler colonialism happening there. While it should be obvious I also want to clarify that calling for the destruction of a state is not the same as calling for the extermination the people it rules.
Its not a garbage take. They had the chance before and didnt, why would anyone trust them to do it this time?
I saw it in a left wing collective cafe on the bathroom wall, so I think in this context I never would have thiught about it like that
Just in case someone wants more context:
This is the “Amazon tower” in Berlin, a huge (for Berlin) office building that will be mainly/exclusively used by Amazon and this sparked some protests.
More infos heres: https://berlinvsamazon.noblogs.org/
However, it was later discovered that the machine did not register her ham and asparagus when she scanned them
So why is the headline still “forgot”? The machine seems to be the problem here.
And yeah keep your illegal stuff and weapons at home when you do shoplifting, because the cops might look through your stuff and add everything they find to the charges (even if they are false charges)
Really, if you ask yourself “what would happen to someone in an anarchist society who killed a serial killer/rapist/molester/etc etc in revenge” and the answer is “little or nothing” you probably have your answer to how that society would handle serial killers, rapists, molesters, etc.
A rapist/murderer might be just a rapist/murderer to some, to others the person might alsl be friend, relative, lover, child or parent. While I do not see myself in the position to stop someones revenge against their abuser or the killer of a loved one, I really hope this will not be the norm. Because as I said, the killed person might have people that care about them that most likely will get hurt by this and also might want to do revenge for that. I also believe that the act of killing can be very harmful to those doing the killing.
I think anarchist societies should focus on prevention and doing things that actually help those that got harmed, which might vary widely by the individual.
I think there are far more alternatives and also ways to mix them.
One more alternative would be constant care taking by one or more people. In case the community cant/doesnt want to provide that full time, it might be possible to mix this with other options that might reduce the persons autonomy.
I made one theme that tries to mirror the current default one on slrpnk.net. You can add it to your list of themes here: https://photon.slrpnk.net/theme

Hey if you have multiple things to say, please try to add them to one comment with the edit feature instead of making multiple top level commands.
However, as I understand it, at times the only real way to protect the community in the society we currently live in seems to be talking with the pigs.
I think this is true in some situations and imo its okay to call the cops in a situation that not only endangers the community but also oneself. Like people trying to physically harm you and you don’t have any safer alternatives to protect yourself. Sadly many people are not part of communities that enable them to fully skip every interaction with cops.
To your serial killer example: If in your hypothetical situation there is a key benefit in turning the evidence over to the police in comparison to just publishing it so everyone(including the police)/only your local community can access the evidence, I dont see why not. Its also not something I would call “snitching”.
In an anarchistic society the serial killer could be sent to the psych ward and dealt with humanely.
Also I just want to mention, I think this is not something with a consensus in anarchist circles.
I dont have an idea for them, but I call dips on the windshield wipers
I would have hoped that posting other fediverse content would be better integrated. Its just as every other link tho :/
Appreciate the section about Lemmy drama, I totally missed the whole thing. Also learned somethings about cat diets i guess
I dont think calling people a fed is fine or something we shoild be fine wirh in anarchist circles
Best alt text ever tbh. Thanks!
As already pointed out Ted has highly problematic views that should also be present in his Manisfesto. There are probably anarchist text with similar perspectives that are not so full of bigotry. I would suggest looking into anti civ or other technology critical text on the anarchist library.
Besides that a person that I find very inspiring sometimes mentions the Unabomber and they seemed to be able to get atleast thought provoking perspextives put the Kaczynskis work.
Hey sorry but why are you reacting like that? Calling someone a cop in anarchist circles is a really heavy accusation and should only be done with actual proof. I also think we should own the fact that anarchists have different or sometimes stupid opinions. Othering people that we dont agree with does not foster an environment where people discuss openly and feel comfortable stating their views or asking questions.
Your second comment seems way better because it gives the person you are responding to and all other readers a chance to educate themselves.
To Change Everything - an anarchist appeal by crimethinc - because its an intro text that really shows the 2 points I really care about: anarchism is about life / living and anarchist ideals can be applied everywhere
Against the Logic of the Guillotine Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too - just a good text why shouldnt use the tools of the opressors (the state)
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin - using sci-fi to show how an anarchist society might be organized and also what problems might arise
i had that error once, but i swear the next time it just worked.
maybe try to copy again or copy from the source of the comment.
