Police are strong and abuse the “weak”. A monopoly on violence does make people weak.
I’m not sure if I am a top or bottom. I prefer horizontal.

Bananas are strong together. Anarchist are working toward prefiguration. That is building a future with “no rule” inside current systems. We have to live within the current system, but we can build a better one. Working together maybe we can build a better boat.
I have so many questions, but I will limit it to one. Why are you content giving the power to defend yourself to someone else?
Omniscience is knowing all that will happen. The rebellious angel’s free-will creates a smaller God.
God is already a dictator by choosing the state of everything. Designing a chaotic system and letting it run also supports being a dictator. He designed the system. An omnipotent God is unable to escape His own designs. The rebellious angel was by design. His planning thereby is guile.
I love this comment. Thank you. Value does obfuscate the product of labor. If I pick apples and cook them, I have apple sauce. The apple sauce is mine to share as I will. Value points to some form of storage where I can exchange the apple sauce for some other product later.
I find Nozick’s minimal state interesting. He seems to want to entrust violence to a state. How would such a system prevent the minimal state from forming monopolies or cartels by which the ruled give up economic and political freedom?
Woody Gutherie, Utah Phillips… I guess I am asking what divides county from folk.
I have a lot to learn. I appreciate the insight. I listen to Aesop Rock. I remember his work being with Rhymesayers.
I agree with the music industry problems. Luckily I have found some great hip hop and country recently.
As an anarchist, voting is fine. In addition, build community and help others.
I will bite.
There are leftist that call for reform to capitalism. UBI is one such reform to help capitalism exploit fewer people. Similar reforms are minimum wage. UBI could make capitalism easier on workers.
I prefer a system that does less harm to workers by means such as the abolition of private property and the employer class. Workers should get the value of their work. They don’t need an employer parasitically taking that value.
“DEI hire” is arrogant. That’s a great way to other people instead of owning the flaw. I appreciate the call for maturity in the field. Own your flaws.
Audible Anarchist is great. Anarchist Library is another great resource depending on what you can hyperfocus on.
Becoming familiar with other ideas is beneficial. There is nothing wrong with being a Democrat, Social Democrat or Libertarian. Real people hold these political ideas. My transition over years was Democrat since I opposed hawkish Republican imperialism, but I rejected corporate power, so Social Democrat, but I rejected hierarchical power, so Anarchist. Through reading I know Pacifism meshes with any of these ideas. I have never been a Pacifist, but I applaud anyone that takes the time to explore politics even if we do not agree.
Being able to have conversations with people around you is important. Reading theory from other politics helps. Most people around me consider themselves conservative. They say talking points like “I’m for small government”. Having read Libertarian texts like Nozick’s “Anarchy, State and Utopia”, I can discuss the minimal state as a Libertarian idea. I can then transition to “Nozick’s minimal state is not small enough”. In my area this approach opens conversation more than banging a drum about being a Democrat, Leftist, Communist or Anarchist.
Learning to explain math to a computer has been a major blessing.
I agree. Legal and ethical are not the same. Legal does not imply just.
I assumed you are familiar with American history. You assumed I want mass killing. I will simplify my question. When is it necessary to kill another human?
For education, John Brown was an American Abolitionist. That means he did not think anyone should be enslaved. To keep it simple, he attempted to spur a slave rebellion. He killed slave owners.
Killing another human is not ethical. Domination can make killing another human necessary. Your death could be necessary if you are dominating other humans.
What are your thoughts on John Brown?
The function wcstol appears to be missing. Cross platform C is difficult.
