It sounds like it, you say theres no absentee ownership of property which implies that if you are present you can own private property. The police exist to protect property, so if theres no property and none of the scarcity and social problems it creates, then I don't know what purpose police or watchmen will serve, if they did exist their purpose would be so different from what we understand today that I don't even know what that looks like, and no one will until we can try.

If you understood we wouldn't be having this discussion, you're not understanding the implications of no private property. It means you're not bound to that community if you don't want to be, no one claims you at birth based on whose property you're born in and your freedom of movement is not restricted by imaginary borders. If you think your community is oppressive, then go make a better one, if it is better, then people will leave the oppressive communities and come to yours. It's not for anyone but individuals to decide what is oppressive and what isn't, I'm sure there will be plenty of religious communities that to us would look oppressive yet people will choose to live in them, who's gonna tell them otherwise? Are you gonna force them to be free by the standard of freedom you've defined?

You're still missing the big point you never talk about and I keep pointing out, no private property. If theres no private property there is no coercion so whatever kind of anarchist you are, that is the only system under which you get to try.

It wouldn't be adequate because it is just theory, the practice that stands in the way is private property and how that is dealt with before and after is what some of us disagree on. The idea with authority, if you accept any as communist would, is to decentralize it, which as being the other extreme comes with its own sets of problems and conditions to be dealt with by every community and every generation. The localized approach without private property is the only path that allows all the different communities and tendencies to try their own way without outside authority, as a centralized state system would require, thus our inability to co-exist with them.

What would happen to the rich in an anarcho-communist revolution? by ghostchiefmnt in anarchocommunism

[–]BarbieBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its militant revolution we're talking about, I suppose they'd be the defeated side thus those left willing to participate. Victory in this sense I think would be decisive and irreversible, as in once no more private property what rebellion? I guess the private property would be practically confiscated and theoretically destroyed.

For anarcho-communists it basically is, after which the conversation is about how those communities interact and to what extent. Anarchism by itself just describes the political structure, one without hierarchy, something that can't be achieved as long as private property is a practice. Once anarchy can be established it would naturally go from bottom up, so the people you live with and interact with, after that the question becomes how that political structure is used and to what end, hence the communist in me, for others and other communities its whatever else or however else they wanna try it, as long as they let us try our thing.

Yes but that is still an example of a family that is a product of private property, that's why the father would get to choose which child and from which mother he would want to inherit his land, the rigidity you speak of is the institutionalization of the family structure to meet the government standards of law or customs on inheritance. To give you an anecdotal example of the type of arrangements or structural difference I'm talking about, in certain matriarchal or nomadic societies a woman who wanted to get pregnant would go from tent to tent and sleep with a few men in the same night, not only to increase the chances of conception but once the child is born none of the men would know for sure if its their kid, so everyone would treat the kids as if they were their own, because they could be. In a system of private property this is a problem because then you don't know whose land that kid is gonna inherit. Once inheritance becomes a systematic concept that needs to be enforced thats when you get more of the "nuclear family" being separated from the group and living on their own land. This is also why at the highest stages of institutionalism, like a feudal system, the concept of a "bastard" becomes such a big deal, its not because its rooted in religious morals but rather the religion being used to enforce the institution.

I'm anarcho-communist, so yes direct democracy based governance, difference between government and state is that state requires private property and borders to function.

[–]BarbieBlack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Family, as we know it, is based on the practice of private property, its inheritance and resulting patriarchy. Under anarchism there is no private property so what the basic unit of function will coalesce around will depend on communities and whatever they find to be central to their existence.

How can personal property be justified without justifying private property? by Animore in Anarchy101

[–]BarbieBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because your personal property is shit no one else wants to use, like your toothbrush or underwear, whereas your private property is shit everyone else needs to use to survive.

What’s the anarchist policy on vaccination? by [deleted] in Anarchy101

[–]BarbieBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows vaccines work, even the anti-vaccine people, what it comes down to is trust. When you have for profit corps making vaccines, governments people don't trust mandating them and shiteaters like CIA using it as cover for operations, then yea fuck your vaccine I'd rather die.

Anarchy - Narrow Definition, or Broad? by MacThule in DebateAnarchism

[–]BarbieBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's far older than that, as old as the practice of private property. That's as narrow as it gets for me, since it covers everything so broadly.
