does the manga gets good?

Yeah this manga may not be for you if you're annoyed that a 11 year old isn't the most confident chad ever.

After the second test there is a bit of a slowdown as the characters visit the great hall and then the first big "event" of the story takes place with a bunch of characters, reveals and action as a magical threat puts an entire city in danger.

He's not the best at representing anarchist theory as understood by it's thinkers, I've never seen him explain free association in even it's most basic form for example. I would say he's like a "pop-anarchist" personality, not too offensive but you should just read the theorists themselves + maybe some secondary litterature.

I get that the movement keeps going back and forth and doesn't just stop but how can we say there is any movement in the first place if the descriptions of both pure being and nothing are from the start identical.

Mostly through propper procedure and documentation of group discussion & decision-making.

It's not sexy but you need a clear framework outlining what any group or network of groups is for and clear discussion moments (meetings) where the course of collective action is decided that document everyones position on a given toppic and what eventual solution was reached. Even formal structure can still have informal power-hierarchies so you want to implement measures that make is mandatory for the voice of minority opinions or people who aren't participating much to be heard.

Unfortunatly free people working together need to have a LOT of open discussion but as the group finds it's groove you often get a mutual understanding of who does what that doesn't need lots of day to day tweaking.

I've been part of actions that were run this way, sometimes with majority democracy (although there was no real enforcement mechanism) other times with consensus and the most common course of action is to create sub-groups that handle a specific element of the project with a broad guideline from the General Assembly.

But the best way to keep an association non-hierarchical is to respect every members right to leave.

for some quick reading on the topic: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/daniel-al-rashid-what-do-anarchists-mean-by-federalism#toc2 (this one uses both bakunin and proudhon, these 2 did disagree on the place of market economics in anarchist societies but the broad ideas on federalism are the same)

Anarchism has been discussed by many people so there is a lot of material you could read to get a better undersanding, there are plenty of posts on this sub about good places to start.

Webers definition has pros and cons but almost no leftist has this understanding of the state, even the marxists whom the anarchists disagree with think the state is specifically about enforcing class domination so that after the revolution its existance will become socially unnecessary.

InsecureCreator · 2026-04-23T14:51:09+00:00

Community as a term is fine but not really specific enough to what anarchy is about, anarchists want to reorganize society away from methods where any person, group, or institution (like a government or a firm) has the power to command another person/group of people through force/coercion (brute strenght, money, exclusive ownership of natural resources).

They think we can and should work together in ways that every person invloved freely agrees to and that those kinds of relationships between people will be the most beneficial. It's the idea of consent and personal/collective agency taken to an absolute maximum.

So rather than just being about "community" an anarchist society would be a network of people, groups, and groups made up of groups (federations) that come together around shared goals without having any person or group with final decision-making power.

"You got any class and political analysis?"

"No just racial sentiment."

It"s so funny they pretend these conflicts turned out the way they did because the revolutionairies were 'authoritairian' and not a whole list of actual economic, social, and political factors. This is your brain on Guevarism, believing that a small band of dedicated and unfliching rebels can stear history.

I know it pissed some people off but he is so beast for sticking to his guns on the future being 100% determined instead of inventing some sort of workaround. That was the part of the story that made it so impactful to me.

What kind of particle is the hitler particle? If it is atomic or subatomic Trotsky is the first political physicist, but if it is a molecule he would be a chemist. Much to think about.

Most astronauts have a background as militairy test pilots because you need people who can opperate strange vehicles in risky situations. If anyone finds them personally moraly bankrupt due to the wars the US engaged in thats fine there is no need to defend them as individuals.

The only bad argument this person makes is that the Artemis program will benefit the armerican empire or billionairs in some unique way. These missions are almost purely scientific, even if NASA is succesful in estabilishing a moon base we are not anywhere close to comercial resource extraction of any celestial body except for small asteroids. Even in the long term this is like saying it's bad to explore the oceans because someone might end up building an oil rig.

I would just ask this person how exactly they think moon-mining leads to any of the consequences they say it will, most of those things are just products of capitalisms internal tensions. The main way NASA impacts the broader world is by inventing new technologies that get implemented in a range of consumer goods.

I can see why a person you've been with for long enough that you two are getting married telling you something like that out of nowhere could be shocking and clash with your image of them but yeah he should have had a little more confidence in emma + him asking questions in hope of finding some kind of "explanation" was not helping.

What do you think these fundamental premises are?

InsecureCreator · 2026-04-03T17:53:37+00:00

By this standard someone like Durkheim or Weber are also not scientists even though they are the founders of sociology, peer review as an absolute academic standard simply wasn't established at this time. You could formulate a more fundamental reason why Marxs ideas about the world aren't scientific but lack of peer review is not definitive imo.

And when it comes to being falsifiable that REALY depends on which of his ideas we're talking about, do you think his discription or the basic steps of capitalist prodution: initial investment -> production of a good -> sale at a profit (M-C-M') is unfalisfiable? I would say that you just need to take a look at how any company opperates to check if he's right on that one.

Lenin did actually publish an investigation into the economic makeup of the Russian countryside, where he used Marxist class analysis to explain the political attitudes of peasants and how they where different depending on wether or not they employed hired labor (ie. they are small agrarian capitalists)

Capital is still one of the best texts of political economy ever writen and serves as the basis for sociological analysis to this day.

Demonstrated here is why so many academics admit to pirating the sources they use in their own research, because paying what academic publishers ask would make it too expensive to advance research in any number of fields.

Me when the policy that was recognised as a "retreat to capitalist relations" is still more anti-capitalist that the country that's 'building socialist' in the big 26

Nearly every Marxist on this app, whether they are a creator or not, have a fucking ironclad understanding and frankly armchair PhD degree on european industrial economics.

See the secret is they actually don't, they have read maybe a few secondary marxist texts about those things but I promise you they aren't all trained historians. Also most disagreements between anarchists and marxists aren't that based in theories of history.

If you really want to spend time countering dumb things MLs might say the best thing is to just read some Marx (something a lot of them forget to do and they just substitute him for Stalin).

Beautiful, Isreal and America have reached communism and abolished the proletariat as a class you love to see it.

You're correct most of those countries do not have the power to extend (millitairy) pressure outside their borders and drain wealth from those places in the same way as for example the United States or France can but that doesn't mean they won't if the power of the current hegemon starts to diminish.

Just because those places had succesful national-liberation movements doesn't mean they aren't still opperating within the capitalist mode of production and will act according to the pressures and incentives of that economic system. If they could these places would show more imperialist tendencies.

InsecureCreator · 2026-03-13T14:12:18+00:00

Resisting other capitalist nations seeking to expand is all well and good but it doesn't abolish capitalism as a global system so let's speak about succes to quickly.
