Organized crime is our only view into dual power structures, typically. Unfortunately it’s a reactionary form - but I think this explains the appeal.

This is probably serious. Sounds like what my manager does already.

I feel like eventually you may want to break the list in two parts (basics / advanced). The former geared towards understanding enough about socialist theory and history to genuinely be a capable comrade, the second one aimed at people who have been involved with socialism for a while but they could use advanced theory/history to avoid complacency.
The basic list would benefit from being “jack of all trades” style - a broader tent will bring more people to the movement. The advanced list, I imagine, would not need to include necessarily every aspect of socialism and would moreso focus on the most pressing modern analyses.
Just a thought.


Abolishing the billionaire class is proving difficult. Let’s just skip to abolishing money - two birds, one stone.


Basil similarly will do this.


my point is that even our western nations aren’t strangers to mass manipulation and oppression, at all.
Agreed, it’s my opinion that they actually have always been the best at it.


You’d think that in the modern world, and with our modern technologies, we’d have to work less, not more. Something in the system is broken.
Agreed. My current belief is that the inundation of work for individuals (comprising communities) is the point and therefore by design. When workers are exhausted and strapped for time they become politically inert and easier to predict/control (because they are fucking tired). This theory perhaps also requires sufficient access to conveniences and entertainment, I might add.
This would explain why when working class organizations actually muster the time/effort to propose reducing work hours or controlling rents they are met with fierce opposition by the ruling class. It also explains why the major (controlled) political parties never propose such things as options on ballot initiatives.


When there is no tangible reward for investment, what motivates people to invest into local or shared projects?
Not an anarchist, but I am sympathetic and interested in their theory.
I think the valid concern you are citing here is derivative of the intense amount of rents that are heaped upon individuals. Everyone having to justify their own existence to the monetary system day-in-day-out creates a modern “survival instinct” to outweigh your own (perhaps extended to the immediate family) interests/needs relative to the needs of your community. Any effort that wants to promote more cooperatively-minded people will first need to erode the rents of a society.
Another factor is the length of the work-week. If people have more free time, they will be more generous with their time. So lessening the working hours of the week (this actually would be achieved indirectly by combating/eroding rents) would dovetail nicely with this strategy.


“our enemy”


I love how the PNW just largely doesn’t refer to people as anything.
Half-hearted ‘Pal’ dominance in New England is also concerning.

We love our aesthetics of democracy don’t we folks
I had the misfortune of eavesdropping on a conversation recently where some guy who was working in a bourgeoisie brewing facility recently switched jobs to work at a waste water treatment center and he was advocating for removing fluoride from water with a level of rationale that I have to assume he picked up from co-workers parroting information they heard on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Potentially your only half-decent example of what was requested by the other user (assuming the act was indeed committed by an anti-zionist).
What does this have to do with anti-zionism?
Honestly, seems like the work of a bad-faith Zionist.
For all we know, the nursing home committed malpractice leading to the death of a tenant or something. This story is tantamount to hearsay.
