Look I’m not saying we have to switch to a total lack of hierarchy immediately. I just want us to start at the top and eat our way down and see how that affects things.
(Researchers going over ancient Internet history): Wow there must have been some SERIOUS food crisis going on from 2000-20xx! There’s so much talk about cannibalism and guillotines!
Have you seen what grocery stores are charging these days? Yeah, there’s a crisis.
My plan would help reduce that grocery bill a little bit(e) at a time
Just start eating at the top and reassess when everyone’s full.
On Lemmy, it’s more like “oh you’re an anarchist? You obviously haven’t read enough Lennin”
I’m entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20’s who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn’t would think those are profound criticisms.
People keep saying that about lemmy, but I haven’t seen it. Maybe it is your filter bubble?
To be fair, your instance has defederated from the 2 large tankie instances.
Same here, these people constantly complaining about “tankies” seem to vastly outnumber the alleged tankies in my experience
I haven’t seen a single one personally
Your instance has defederated from them.
Uh-huh, expect I went to hexbear, it’s made up in the public consciousness
Because they don’t exist, people will say it’s because they were part of hexbear or another defederated instance but I’ve checked them out and they’re more or less the same maybe a bit more left leaning but certainly not tankies
I’m mostly convinced it’s bots or conservatives
Yeah I have an account on lemmy.ml and I don’t see it there. Maybe buried in the modlog? Which is public?
Isn’t it the opposite here. Idk if when they say tankie they mean leftist hexbear users or maga type right wing people. That’s not trying to insult hexbear. I literally don’t know.
I get called a tankie or centrist here compared to reddit where only a few times I was called a centrist.
Tankie generally means a Marxist-Leninist, specifically ones that support the USSR under Stalin

Til!
Removed my comment, you were correct I was misinformed
No worries, happy to see some humility online
Pretty sure eating billionaires and pumping their Ill gotten gains into systems that help humanity would fix most issues. Kill off any greedy fucks
Not really anarchy is it?
Absolutely not lol.
It doesn’t have to solve every problem, but it does have to result in a better world than we have now, which it won’t.
My house is on fire. I am gonna call firefighters.
Anachrist: First you should dismantle capitalism.
Funny, but not accurate
Yeah it’s more like:
HELP MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, CALL THE FIREMEN
Anarchist: we don’t need the state to solve our problems, we can do this
BUT DUDE, MY HOU–
Anarchist: let’s get some buckets
Is it seriously your contention that effective firefighting can’t exist without a state?
No, not at all. A state isn’t necessary for anything
I am the anarchist in this joke
Anarchists aren’t against firefighters, though? Only the police.
They’re against the state and hierarchy in general
Firefighters aren’t inherently hierarchical. An anarchist society would still have firefighters.
Of course they aren’t inherently hierarchical.
That doesn’t equate to being anti-organization.
No, it doesn’t. In fact, anarchists, along with communists, are probably the most vocal supporters of people organising. Just not in a hierarchy.
This meme applies to any ideology sufficiently removed from the current state of things. Ideologies are fun, but conversations that ignore how much work is required to transition get boring after a while.
Which is why I think slowly eating our way down from the top is far more interesting and safe proposal than any pure ideology.
